French term or phrase: Brûleur à lit de gravier
From a document dealing with specifications for and fire performance testing of structural sandwich panels.

"Brûleur à lit de gravier" is the title of a diagram showing the set up of a test kiln. I have very little other context, but hope someone can help with the "official" name in English of this type of burner. Thanks!

gravel-bed burner/kiln
Explanation:
I don't know if there is an oficial title for the type of kiln, as grab=vel beds seem to be used in many types, of which this is just one:

A McConnel burner firing recycled waste (wood trim, fines, and resinated sander dust) ... Figure 2-2 is a schematic of an ionizer and gravel bed assembly. ...

Another (I think) is a Whellon burner (needs checking!)
