Today's redesigned kilns generally have improved uniformity, but it is not uncommon to see a full cone difference from top to bottom in the kiln, and a half cone difference on a single shelf in a very large kiln.

  The Kiln -- Harvey Young Pottery
A pottery kiln, simply described, is a chamber which is fed with heat, until the temperature achieved is sufficient to harden and tighten the clay objects contained within, and finally to melt any glaze material which has been applied to the ware.
Kilns can be fueled by gas (delivered through burners), electricity (passing through heat coils which line the kiln interior), or combustible plant material, most commonly wood (which is tossed into the chamber).
The way the ware is set in the kiln prior to burner ignition, how the glazes which cover the ware are formulated and applied, and the management of fuel combustion as the temperature rises are some of the factors which determine the quality of the finished ware.

The principal distinction is that a kiln's operation is not defined by showering material in the hot gas stream, rather, the arc of material that forms may intentionally remain intact and is not dispersed.
In an indirect fired rotary kiln, the shell temperature tends to be uniform along the circumference regardless of the heat source being from a distinct point.
It is common for direct fired rotary dryers and rotary kilns to have upward of 100 times the mass or volume of process gas flowing within the vessel as opposed to an indirect unit of the same duty.
