Default 3-phase vs single-phase heating elements

Figured you guys would know...

I have found a used 220 v 3-phase oven that I would like to use in my
shop. The problem is that I only have 220v single phase. Without
going to a phase converter is there a way I can run the oven off of
single-phase by re-wiring the heating elements? IOW...how would I
reconnect to single phase to not overload the elements but also give
me the heat I need?


(Oh, even though I'm fairly electrical-challenged I did some homework
and learned that there are two basic ways 3-phase elements are wired,
star and delta. I just don't have enough knowledge of AC circuits to
figure out how to swap the elements or if it's even feasible.)
