The apparatus herein comprises a kettle for calcining particulate material and a surrounding furnace having a porous wall to pass heat of combustion into the kettle at one side and to permit evacuation of the products of combustion from an opposite side, and a control system to cycle the combustion and the evacuation of products of combustion between the opposite sides so that the side being evacuated becomes a heat sink to return the heat so retained therein upon the combustion cycle whereby the furnace structure is kept to a desirable level of temperature while the material in the kettle is at a significant higher temperature.
