One needs to take into consideration the size of the piece that your putting frit on... I use this style that 6 in wide by 10 inches long. I place it in a baking pan to catch the over spill and pour it back into my jars. I only use one pound size jars.
ABR has them in stock in 2 sizes Just search frit tray.

I would NEVER use aluminum, but that is because of the way I work and at times have my flame right on the tray. That said I do have a powder box made of aluminum (it was a custom made gift) and I've melted the crap out of it!
