Considering copper :

1. find some rich ore or native or near native.
2. build one hot fire - continue burning and increase coal / charcoal contents.
3. add copper or ore - perhaps using glass technology of the time - pit glass ?
     more melted stone that is glassy and use this slab as a cookie *** . :-)
4. cover the top with more fuel and then cap it off - perhaps air vent on the
     side of the wind...

A reduction fire - and when cooled off it might have metal in the ***...

Maybe.
