Take one clay pot and set a slightly smaller one inside so the rim holds it off the bottom, giving you a little air space for insulation. Use a clay pot tray under and as a cap on the smaller pot. Dremel a hole to allow the wires to go through, use a permenant pig tail and seal it in with something fireproof, grout maybe. $10 and HD or Lowes and technically it should be fire proof. Basically the same idea as the "Bunker", just a homemade version.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if the pots will fall apart in a lipo flame out. I know we use to cook over a big one when I was a teen at this one camp spot we had and it held to gether for a LOT of camp fires over a several of years. Last time I was there it was still sitting in the same spot, but that was in the late 80's.
Anyway, sorry...I ramble at times. I guess the only way to know for sure would be to fame out a lipo in it to see. The other issue may be the temp of the lipo without some sort of ventilation. You guys might be able to answer that for me.

BLA BLA BLA:005: LOL JK
Thats a interesting idea, i think the clay would take the hea. But im not sure if it could take the explosin. If you use a top i would put a vent hole in the middle of the top. So the flame will shoot straight up.
