Gozney Dome Gen 2 XL Dual Fuel Off Black Pizza Oven

Gozney Dome XL Gen 2 Off Black for maximum cooking space

The Gozney Dome XL Gen 2 Off Black is the dark version of the largest outdoor oven in the current Gozney series. The oven was developed for those seeking ample cooking space who want to cook extensively outdoors using propane, wood, or charcoal, in addition to pizza.

The spacious oven chamber accommodates one pizza up to 18 inches (approximately 45 cm) or three 10-inch pizzas. The 30 mm thick cordierite stone and three heat storage layers provide a sturdy base for high-temperature baking and longer cooking times.

One 18-inch pizza or three 10-inch pizzas

The Dome XL Gen 2 distinguishes itself primarily by its large oven capacity. You can bake one pizza up to 18 inches (approximately 45 cm) or use the space for three smaller 10-inch pizzas.

Even when baking only one pizza at a time, the extra space has advantages. You have plenty of room to flip the pizza and can easily adjust its position relative to the flame.

Moreover, the large oven chamber makes the Dome XL interesting if you not only bake pizza, but want to perform multiple preparations simultaneously, for example.

Cooking with propane, wood, or charcoal

The Gozney Dome XL Gen 2 gives you a choice of three fuels. With propane , you choose convenience and direct control over the flame. With wood , you build the fire yourself and determine how the heat moves through the oven by positioning the fire. Charcoal is interesting for preparations where you want to work with a stable heat source for an extended period.

Use these fuels separately. Never use the gas burner at the same time as wood or charcoal, and do not use gas to light wood or charcoal.

30 mm thick cordierite stone

The Dome XL Gen 2 features a removable 30 mm thick cordierite stone . Due to this thickness, the cooking surface can absorb and retain a lot of heat.

This is especially important when baking multiple pizzas in a row. Each pizza draws heat from the stone. A well-preheated baking surface helps to transfer sufficient heat to the base for subsequent pizzas as well.

Therefore, before baking, check not only the temperature in the oven but also that of the pizza stone. Check out our explanation of common mistakes at Gozney if you want to avoid problems with the base, crust, or temperature.

Up to approximately 500 °C

The Gozney Dome XL Gen 2 can reach temperatures of around 500 °C . Depending on the fuel used and conditions, allow approximately 30 to 40 minutes to bring the oven and the 30 mm thick baking surface up to temperature.

The digital temperature display provides insight into the temperature during cooking. In addition, the Dome XL offers the option to use temperature probes, allowing you to monitor the core temperature of larger cuts of meat, for example.

More than just a large pizza oven

The Dome XL Gen 2 is particularly interesting if you want to use the oven for more than just pizza. The spacious oven chamber accommodates bread, vegetables, fish, meat, and preparations using suitable heat-resistant or cast iron cookware.

This makes the Dome XL a complete outdoor oven. You can bake at high temperatures, but also work with the heat storage of the thick stone and a fire you build yourself.

If you also have a kamado barbecue or ceramic BBQ , both complement each other well for outdoor cooking. The kamado excels at grilling, smoking, and slow cooking, while the Dome XL offers plenty of space for cooking with a hot stone cooking surface and an open flame.

Who is the Dome XL Gen 2 suitable for?

The Dome XL Gen 2 is primarily intended for those who deliberately seek a lot of space. If you regularly cook for larger groups, want to make larger pizzas, or place different preparations in the oven at the same time, the extra capacity really comes into its own.

If you usually cook for a smaller group and don't need an 18-inch cooking area, the Gozney Dome Gen 2 is often the more practical choice. You retain the choice of gas, wood, and charcoal, but in a smaller size.

Dome Gen 2 or Dome XL Gen 2?

The standard Dome Gen 2 accommodates one pizza up to 16 inches or two 10-inch pizzas. The Dome XL Gen 2 expands that to one pizza up to 18 inches or three 10-inch pizzas.

Both models operate on propane, wood, or charcoal and use a 30 mm thick cordierite stone. The main difference is therefore the available oven space and capacity.

The Dome Gen 2 is already more than sufficient for many home cooks. Choose the Dome XL when you consciously want maximum workspace and capacity.

Dome XL Gen 2 Off Black or Bone?

This Off Black version features a dark finish that complements modern outdoor kitchens, dark kamados, and other outdoor equipment.

Technically, it is identical to the Gozney Dome XL Gen 2 Bone . Both versions have the same oven volume, fuel options, pizza stone, and performance. Only the color differs.

Dimensions and weight

The Gozney Dome XL Gen 2 is approximately 94.6 cm wide, 69.7 cm deep, and 99.7 cm high, including the chimney . The oven weighs approximately 73 kg .

This makes it a substantial outdoor oven. Therefore, determine in advance where you want to place the oven and ensure a sturdy, stable surface with sufficient free space around it.

Dome XL Gen 2 with base

For a practical mobile setup, you can combine the Dome XL with the Gozney Dome Gen 2 and Dome XL base .

The base raises the oven to a comfortable working height and provides extra space around the oven. Especially with an oven weighing approximately 73 kg, the advantage is that you can move the entire setup more easily.

Accessories for the Dome XL Gen 2

Which accessories are useful depends on how you want to use the oven. For pizza, a suitable pizza peel, turntable, and infrared thermometer are practical. With an infrared thermometer, you can quickly check how hot different parts of the large pizza stone are.

In addition, specific accessories are available for the Dome XL Gen 2 for the oven and working with wood. Carefully check for each accessory whether it is specifically suitable for the current Dome XL Gen 2.

Pizza dough for the Gozney Dome XL

Maintenance of the Dome XL Gen 2 Off Black

Many baked-on residues on the inside can burn off spontaneously at high temperatures. Afterwards, allow the oven to cool down completely and carefully remove any remaining 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. Avoid harsh and abrasive cleaning agents.

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