English term or phrase: smouldering piles of bricks
Algún "experto" en la fabricación de ladrillos que me pueda aclarar en que "estado" se encuentran estos smouldering bricks. Tengo una idea, pero necesito confirmarla. El texto es de otro tema (seguridad) y describe al margen esta actividad, así es que ese es todo el contexto. Gracias por la ayuda.

The brickworks next door stack smouldering piles of bricks in their yard for cooling down purposes

Gracias. Ambas respuestas son correctas y complementarias. Lamentablemente como la pregunta se refería más que nada a smouldering, van los puntos a esa respuesta. Gracias a ambos

agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Hm... Me inclino por esto. Tampoco soy ningún experto. Pero en general "to smoulder" es arder con un fuego atenuado o con humo, así que sí, supongo que "humeantes" lo define.
