do it
use a metal mailbox
cut a small chimney opening at mailbox end...1/4 the opening door size
add a flue pipe 2 feet
line all the inside of the mailbox with 1" kaowool
put in a mullite shelf
us a corner of a brick for a buffer of the flames
buy a propane weed burner torch and line it up on the outside
should heat up in 5 min and adjust burner
i did this last year while teaching a workshop in japan with a supermarket
shopping basket raku kiln on wheels
