The invention provides a shuttle kiln that can fire ceramic porous bodies containing organic binders in a shorter period of time than in conventional methods without occurring breaks due to a temperature difference between the inside and the outside. The shuttle kiln of the invention is suited for firing of ceramic porous bodies containing organic binders. It includes a gas suction path 4 that suctions in-furnace gas and discharges it via an afterburner 5 and a circulation path 7 that suctions the in-furnace gas to the furnace outside to burn organic binder gas and then returns it into the furnace.

1. A shuttle kiln for firing ceramic porous bodies containing organic binders, the kiln comprising: a gas suction path that includes at least one gas suction port for suctioning an in-kiln gas outside the kiln and exhausting the in-kiln gas to the atmosphere via an afterburner; anda circulation path for suctioning the in-kiln gas outside the kiln, burning an organic binder gas contained in the in-kiln gas, and then recirculating the in-kiln gas back into the kiln,wherein the gas suction path and the circulation path are completely independent of each other,wherein the ceramic porous bodies are loaded on a carriage that reciprocates between the inside and the outside of the kiln,wherein the gas suction path and the gas suction port are located at a lower part of the carriage, andwherein the circulation path includes a catalytic reactor vessel for catalytic combustion of the suctioned in-kiln gas. 2. The shuttle kiln according to claim 1, wherein the in-kiln gas is suctioned to the circulation path from a side wall of the kiln body. 3. The shuttle kiln according to claim 1, further comprising a fuel gas supply pipe mounted in the circulation path upstream of the catalytic reactor vessel and used to supply a fuel gas. 4. The shuttle kiln according to claim 1, wherein the circulation path comprises: a heating device mounted upstream of the catalytic reactor vessel and used to heat the suctioned in-kiln gas; anda cooling device mounted downstream of the catalytic reactor vessel and used to lower a temperature of the gas having passed through the catalytic reactor vessel to a predetermined temperature. 5. The shuttle kiln according to claim 3, wherein the circulation path comprises: a heating device mounted upstream of the catalytic reactor vessel and used to heat the suctioned in-kiln gas; anda cooling device mounted downstream of the catalytic reactor vessel and used to lower a temperature of the gas having passed through the catalytic reactor vessel to a predetermined temperature.
