Maybe just size. You can use the same size side panels to make different kilns, and the 7-sided one shows as 14.5 inches, while the eight-sided one is 16.5 inches. Maybe they're cutting bevels on standard-size firebricks. Alternately, if one were to mold the sidewalls as planks with an outie-circular edge and innie-circular opposite edge, they'd be easy to mortar together at any angle. |

Well, if you want to get technical, the kiln is actually 8-sided. It has a hexagonal box, then a base and a lid. Perhaps only seven sides have heating elements (not the bottom) - hence the name. The hexagonal shape will heat items inside more evenly from the sides than a box shape. Beyond that I have no suggestions.
