A directional fluid heat control system for a high temperature kiln with a process zone. The system includes two rigid, coaxially aligned tubes positioned in the kiln. One tube rotates inside the other. One tube has a series of longitudinal openings, while the other has a series of helically arranged openings. Rotating one tube selectively aligns an opening from that tube with an opening in the other. Further rotation aligns different such pairs of openings with different longitudinal orientations in the kiln. The aligned openings release pressurized fluid from the inner tube into desired locations in the kiln's process zone.
