Gozney Dome Gen 2 & Gen 2 XL: The Next Evolution in Outdoor Cooking

If you thought the original Gozney Dome was impressive, wait until you see what Gen 2 delivers. Gozney has re-engineered every part of its flagship oven, from the internal airflow and insulation to the digital controls and modular construction. The result is a smarter, hotter, and more versatile oven designed for everything from pizza to full-course family feasts.

Both the Dome (Gen 2) and Dome XL (Gen 2) bring true restaurant-grade power to your backyard. Whether you’re baking Neapolitan pies or roasting an entire meal, these ovens offer professional precision with effortless control.

What’s New in the Gen 2 Series

Here’s what sets the new Gozney Dome Gen 2 line apart:

• Three-fuel flexibility – Cook with wood, gas, or charcoal depending on your style.

• Wood-Fire Control Kit – Optional airflow system gives you gas-like precision while using wood or charcoal.

• Digital interface – Displays real-time air and stone temperatures with integrated timer and dual meat probes for exact doneness.

• Rolling lateral flame design – Distributes heat evenly across the oven dome, improving consistency for pizzas, roasts, and sides.

• Thicker insulation and stone – Enhanced thermal performance with a 30 mm removable cordierite stone floor that maintains heat longer and recovers faster.

• Modular, repairable design – Over 25 components are serviceable or upgradable—built to last for years of outdoor cooking.

• Fully assembled delivery – Set it up right out of the box and start cooking the same day.

Dome Gen 2 vs Dome XL Gen 2 - Which Is Right for You?

Both ovens share the same premium design and features, but they differ in capacity and footprint:

• Cooking capacity: The Dome Gen 2 can comfortably cook two 10-inch pizzas or one large pizza alongside sides and meats. The Dome XL Gen 2 can handle up to three pizzas at once, ideal for entertaining larger groups.

• Size difference: The Dome Gen 2 offers about 40 % more cooking space than the original Dome, while the Dome XL Gen 2 is nearly 90 % larger, built to replace full-size brick ovens.

• Ideal users: Choose the Dome Gen 2 if you’re cooking for smaller gatherings or want a manageable footprint. Step up to the Dome XL Gen 2 if you regularly host big cookouts, cater, or want true restaurant capacity in your backyard.

• Performance: Both models share the same upgraded burners, insulation, and digital controls, so the difference really comes down to how much space you need.

Gen 2 vs Gen 1 — What’s Changed?

The jump from the original Dome to the Gen 2 line is substantial. Here’s what Gozney improved:

• More cooking space: Up to 90 % more internal area (in the XL) for multi-dish cooking or batch pizza nights.

• Better heat management: New lateral burner system ensures a sweeping, even flame across the dome for improved consistency.

• Superior insulation: Upgraded triple-layer insulation retains heat longer while using less fuel.

• Removable, thicker stone: The 30 mm cooking stone delivers faster recovery times and resists cracking.

• Smarter control: The new digital display gives precise temperature readings and twin probe monitoring—something the Gen 1 lacked entirely.

• Improved maintenance: Gen 2’s modular design allows easy replacement of components over time, extending the oven’s lifespan.

• More versatile fuel options: While Gen 1 supported dual fuel, Gen 2 expands to true tri-fuel capability (wood, gas, and charcoal).

Picking the Perfect Dome

• If you love artisan pizza nights and want an oven that fits most patios, go with the Dome Gen 2.

• If you’re the go-to host for big family gatherings or weekend parties, the Dome XL Gen 2 gives you the space and power to cook for a crowd.

• Upgrading from Gen 1? You’ll immediately notice faster heat-up times, better fuel control, and sturdier build quality.
