The suitability of dirty silicate grain models for hot-centered dust clouds is investigated, applying them both to the mean spectrum for hot-centered clouds and to a number of individual clouds. For a class of source whose IR spectra resemble that of the BN object, a double-shell model is required to fit the IR spectra: an outflowing shell of hot dust with an n(r) proportional to r to the -2 density distribution is surrounded by a second shell of cold dust, presumably associated with the ambient cloud of dust and molecules from which the OB star has formed. For the remaining sources modelled, a uniform density distribution gives a good fit to the observed spectra, which suggests that the clouds from which the stars have formed are not in a state of collapse.
