Once again, we lifted it one piece at a time, then resembled the three pieces as we put it in the kiln.  It needed to be fired all together, so that any warping would be minimal.  

This was a bisque firing, to cone 06 (about 1800 F°).  Most ceramic pieces are bisque fired first, this is to strengthen and dry the piece.  They are then dipped in a glaze, and fired again at a much higher temperature.  Called a glaze firing, they range from 2150 F° (cone 6 - called low fire), and 2350 F° (cone 10 - high fire). 

For the pizza oven, I only needed the bisque firing.  It won't be glazed.
