Is it feasible to build an electrically heated retort for testing distillation processes by oneself?

I wish to build a dry distillation furnace for electrical heating purposes, designed for drying coal. The capacity should be around 10 liters, and electrical heating will be used; the heating element will be a 304 stainless steel tank. The desired temperature is 500–600 degrees, with a heating time of 40 minutes. Resistor wires embedded in vacuum fiber blocks are planned to be used for heating. Since the furnace is intended to be horizontal, this design presents difficulties in terms of rotation and the collection and recovery of gases; therefore, a vertical design is being considered. I would like to ask experts if there are any shortcomings in this design
