The document asks about identifying the origin of a boulder formation found in a kiln. It seeks advice on what physical and chemical properties to examine in the boulder's remains to determine if it formed inside the kiln or was introduced from the inlet coating. It also describes how the boulder broke into large pieces upon removal but then fully disintegrated into a powder once cooled, and asks what conclusions can be drawn from this phenomenon of the boulder holding together when hot but crumbling when cold.
