Cheap, scroungeable, and metal, with a heater?
Sounds like an electric oven, can use the existing light, or wire up a
thermostat to the heater element and run it on 110..
A little cut and fit, with some plywood, and it makes a decent
benchtop.
Try the Free or Wanted areas of Craigs List or Freecycle. Or your
local metal scrap yard.

Yard sales and imagination. Lots of things that would work. Maybe an old
dead or cheap toaster oven with the heating element taken out? Get creative
and stay CHEAP!

hmm .. electric smoker? If you search CL for a smoker, be sure to select
the check box that says "search titles only" or you'll get a million hits
on something from "a non-smoker house".

I would recommend something that is well insulated or could easily be well
insulated. A small fridge is well enough insulated you could run a 25w bulb,
or perhaps thermostaticly control it. The fridge I did with a 100w
continious was a full size unit, and it was amost too much to leave on all
the time.
