Yes but it would not last long, especially if the clay in the house bricks
is low melt. Cladding with fibre is possible but why do it? Cheaper, lighter
construction materials are available.
My own 96 cubic foot kiln is fibre over insulating fire bricks,catenary

outside temp is less than 100 degrees.
I achieved this more by accident Than intention.
