Do you think that's it is feasible to remove the remove the sheet metal that is supporting the unit (legs) and use a log or a rock to support the oven instead, or will it effect the structural integrity of the oven?

flp-

That would be possible.  There is nothing structural about the extra length of the two side panels.  You'd just need to leave many 1/2 inch margin below he bottom panel.  Just keep in mind that the bottom of the reflector is not designed to support any significant weight and is held in place only by "friction joints" (e.g., tabs and slots).

I notice that the plans that solotripper provided uses support rods in the rear to provide elevation/anchoring.  That would also be a potential solution.
