How a Lime-Kiln is Lighted [duchas:4914320]
My father told me that a lime-kiln is lighted by putting in lighted sods between the bars at the "eye of the Kiln. A little more sods are put over these, then a layer of broken up lime stone. The way it is filled is every second row of lime - stone and turf. This is the way it is filled. Sometimes the people burn it, and sometimes they do not. Not far from my house there is a lime - stone quarry. It takes two days to burn what goes into the kiln. The kiln is lined inside with fire brick.
