Can you smelt kelp in a smoker?

Can you clarify for me, is it possible to smelt kelp within a smoker? I'm curious about the process and if the equipment is suitable for such a task. Would the smoker be able to handle the specific requirements of kelp smelting, or are there other methods or devices more suitable for this purpose? I'm eager to learn more about this, as I'm exploring different ways to process kelp.
