Furnaces where links are forged (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kilns

'furnaces' is the definition.
(I know this)

'links are forged' is the wordplay.
'are forged' indicates an anagram.
'links' is an anagram of 'KILNS'.

'where' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kilns that I've seen before include "bakers" , "Pottery ovens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
