You might consider buying a used hobbyist pottery kiln.

Nelson Riedel wrote that he constructed a temporary "extension" to a
kitchen
oven, using 1" foil backed fiberglass furnace duct material.  He plugged
the
original vent and added a vent to the extension, which was a 4-sided
cube
that sat on the opened oven door to make a "pregnant oven".  Using this
setup, he got 39" for the longest interior dimension, which was enough
to PC
his TR6 grill.

The material isn't rated for continuous 400F, but seemed to do OK for
short
stretches.  YMMV obviously.  His web page has been taken down for
liability
reasons, but you might be able to find it if you poke around a bit at
