    Wood for FIRE is what I use so you have to be committed to the danger factor .
    Smoke from wood and a touch of smell of Smokey fume that metals give off also , and as to Lead go at your own risk .
    Melted metals can burn you (so far not happened to me ) With that reality there is no room for any mistakes .
    Melted metals flow & splash like water in all respects.
    OK
    Basically if you take a 5 gal metal pail line it with some bricks put a hole in can for pipe to allow forced air to enter
    You can get plenty of heat to melt AL Zinc or Lead. you have to have pre cut charcoal size wood for project or you can use charcoal
    Cast iron pot work well for the melt container.

    As a father my self, my son is not gonna play with this stuff for the heck of it . So you best make this a father son hobbie



    Look up you-tube and you will see ways to make a oven
    You can use some thing as small as a gallon pail
