Making a wood burning oven "Placing the inner shell"

The steel shell weighs ~200 lbs (100 kg) so it is not too hard to move around if you are CAREFUL.

 

First we marked the outline of the oven on the hearth for reference 

and laid boards down to make some rails and we used 3/4 inch steel water pipe for rollers

Lifted it up and put a roller under the front of the oven near the center of the dome.

We were pretty busy at the moment so no picture.

Then I rocked the front down on the roller to raise the back and we rolled a second 

pipe under the back of the oven. From here on it was easy

I tapped it around with a dead blow hammer to tune the position and slid out the rollers

Since everything lines up perfectly we decided to let it go at that
