A ceramic burner for a hot blast stove has a central gas duct that opens into the central zone of a burner crown and side air ducts on both sides of the gas duct which also open into the central zone. To improve combustion characteristics, there is a central air duct in the gas duct opening out within it. Air is supplied to the central air duct in an upward flow which exits in two opposing directions through side openings.

In the construction of a hot blast stove, walls are made of pre-formed and baked bricks. At the joint between two walls, cast joining elements of complex shape are incorporated. The cast joining elements may be cast in situ. This avoids the need for pressing joining bricks of a variety of shapes.
