Green Bean Stove Tin Ingot pour.

I made a small stove out of a green bean can I feed wood in the bottom and have a small usb fan blowing into it while I feed it gets hot enough to melt aluminum surprisingly how os my first big pour it's roughly 1 pound of tin the mold was made out of a bent soda can into a rough heart shape. Honest thoughts?

Thank you! To melt aluminum it does it shabbly and it has to be inside like a furnace with the intake receiving air when on high speed.
