Gozney Dome Gen 2 Off Black

Gozney Dome Gen 2 Off Black for versatile outdoor cooking

The Gozney Dome Gen 2 Off Black is the dark version of the current Dome Gen 2. This spacious outdoor oven is intended for those who want to go beyond just baking pizza and like to choose their own cooking method: propane, wood, or charcoal.

The Dome Gen 2 accommodates one pizza up to 16 inches (approximately 40 cm) or two 10-inch pizzas. Thanks to the spacious oven chamber, 30 mm thick cordierite stone, and three heat storage layers, you can also use the oven for bread, vegetables, meat, fish, and cooking with suitable cast iron cookware.

Cooking with propane, wood, or charcoal

An important advantage of the Dome Gen 2 is the choice of three fuels. With propane, you opt for convenience and precise flame control. With wood , you work with the fire yourself and determine how the heat moves through the oven by the position and size of the fire. Charcoal is suitable when you want to cook for longer periods with a stable heat source.

The different fuels are used separately. Never use the gas burner simultaneously with wood or charcoal, and do not use gas to light a wood fire.

Pizzas up to 16 inches or two pizzas at a time

The Dome Gen 2 offers enough space for one pizza up to 16 inches , approximately 40 cm. You can also bake two smaller 10-inch pizzas at the same time.

The larger oven cavity also provides extra freedom of movement. You can rotate the pizza more easily and adjust its position relative to the flame. This is especially convenient when you regularly bake multiple pizzas in a row.

30 mm thick cordierite stone

At the bottom of the Dome Gen 2 lies a removable 30 mm thick cordierite stone . This thick cooking floor can absorb and retain a lot of heat.

This is important when baking pizza, because every pizza draws heat from the stone. A well-preheated baking surface helps to transfer sufficient heat to the base, even when baking multiple pizzas in a row.

Therefore, check not only how hot the oven is, but also whether the stone is sufficiently heated. You can read more about this in our guide to common mistakes at Gozney .

Up to approximately 500 °C

The Gozney Dome Gen 2 can reach temperatures around 500 °C . You can expect approximately 30 to 40 minutes to fully heat the oven and the 30 mm thick stone, depending on the chosen fuel and external conditions.

The digital temperature display helps you monitor the temperature of the oven and the baking surface while cooking. The Dome Gen 2 also features connections for temperature probes, giving you more control during other preparations as well.

More than just a pizza oven

The Dome Gen 2 is interesting if pizza isn't the only thing you want to make outdoors. Thanks to the larger oven space and the choice of different fuels, you can also bake bread, roast vegetables, and prepare meat or fish.

This clearly distinguishes the Dome from a compact gas-fired pizza oven. You can bake quickly at high temperatures, but also take more time for preparations where heat retention and fire control are important.

If you also have a kamado barbecue or ceramic BBQ , both can complement each other well. The kamado excels at grilling, smoking, and slow cooking, while the Dome offers additional possibilities with a hot stone cooking surface and an open oven space.

Who is the Dome Gen 2 Off Black suitable for?

The Dome Gen 2 suits the outdoor cook who regularly bakes pizza but does not want an oven used exclusively for that purpose. You choose this model primarily if space, heat storage, and the ability to operate on both gas and solid fuel are important to you.

If you mainly bake pizza and primarily want the convenience of gas, the Gozney Arc XL might be a more compact choice. However, if you want even more oven space for larger parties, the Dome XL Gen 2 is a better fit.

Dome Gen 2 Off Black or Bone?

This Off Black version has a dark finish that pairs well with a modern outdoor kitchen, kamado, or other dark equipment.

Technically, the Off Black is identical to the Gozney Dome Gen 2 Bone . Both ovens have the same baking volume, fuel options, pizza stone, and performance. The choice between the two versions therefore comes down primarily to the color.

Dimensions and weight

The Gozney Dome Gen 2 is approximately 82.6 cm wide, 65.2 cm deep, and 98.6 cm high, including the chimney . The oven weighs approximately 62 kg .

Due to its weight, the Dome is intended for a sturdy and stable setup. Therefore, determine in advance where you want to place the oven and leave sufficient free space around it.

Gozney Dome Gen 2 with chassis

If you want to place the oven at a comfortable working height and be able to move the entire setup more easily, you can combine the Dome Gen 2 with the Gozney Dome Gen 2 and Dome XL base .

The base has been specially developed for the current Dome series and provides extra workspace around the oven. Moreover, thanks to the wheels, you can move the heavy oven more easily than when it is standing on a fixed table.

Which accessories do you need?

For baking pizza, a suitable pizza peel, turntable, and infrared thermometer are particularly practical. With the infrared thermometer, you can quickly check how hot different parts of the 30 mm thick pizza stone are.

Additionally, a protective cover is advisable if the oven remains outdoors. Always check accessories to ensure they are specifically compatible with the current Dome Gen 2.

Good pizza dough for the Dome Gen 2

An oven that can be heated to approximately 500 °C requires dough suitable for high-temperature baking. Fermentation, hydration, and the way you open the dough ball have a significant influence on the final result.

Maintenance of the Gozney Dome Gen 2

At high temperatures, a lot of baked-on residue and soot on the inside can burn off spontaneously. Afterwards, let the oven cool down completely and carefully remove loose residue with a soft brush.

Clean the exterior with warm soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive cloth. For more stubborn dirt, you can use a non-corrosive and bleach-free cleaner. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Protect the oven from rain when not in use for extended periods, and place a protective cover only when the Dome has completely cooled down.

Warranty on the Gozney Dome Gen 2

For private use, a standard 2-year manufacturer's warranty applies. If you register the Dome Gen 2 with Gozney within 60 days of purchase, this can be extended to a limited warranty of up to 5 years.

Different warranty periods apply to certain parts, including the pizza stone and electronic components. Therefore, keep your proof of purchase and register the oven in a timely manner after purchase.
