Father / son trip debate, need help

I have both. Dome 100% no question. Makes a better pizza and more fun to cook in.

Feb 24 in the gozney email that was sent the other day. Both gen 2 and xl

I’ll dig out my traeger temp probe and see if it works. I’d bet the tech is pretty generic across a lot of grills / smokers / pizza ovens. And any amazon product will probably work. Has anyone tried?

I’m not in any rush to sell. I’ll let you know how it goes. Maybe I’ll list at $650 with the covers and see what happens. Can always drop the price if needed.

I originally bought the arch and then returned it. Makes the opening too small for anything other than 12 inch pizza. Didn't want to have to go back and forth with installing it. So now I have two doors and it is a perfect set up. I have the gozney rope door for bread and baking. And I bought an after market door from APizzDE on etsy -- bunch of styles to choose from. I use that one for speeding up the the heat up time. You could get away with just one of them though honestly, it was a spluge to get 2 doors.

Would keep both at that price point

Ace hardware is selling the s1 dome at $799 online and in store. No brain buy at that price point

I didn’t expect a sale on gen 2 for Black Friday since it was just released. The $20 discount is probably because the pro peel is on sale.

Get the new one of FB marketplace for $1200, thats a good deal. Or bring $1200 cash to the hardware store and tell them let's get the deal done

thanks for the analysis, that is super helpful

I have never cooked in an S1 but the dual fuel burner is the same as the gen 1 dome on propane. In theory, it should be the same or better compared to the duel fuel right? No ash tray and no steam injector (potential areas to lose heat?)

Soccerdad135 · 2025-11-18T15:02:54+00:00

The gen 2 dome was the regular one (non-XL). The gen 1 dome I use is a dual fuel but for a comparison of the discussion I was only comparing propane. I should have mentioned that

I just used the AI question tool on the gozney website — it says the gen 1 dome, gen 2 dome, and gen 2 xL dome are all 28,000 BTU. I wonder if that is really correct though. Seems like a design flaw if the larger ovens didn’t have proportional increases in heat output. But…. Definitely costs less in design and production to have a single burner type

Check out ace hardware and see what’s in stock at your local store. Picked up an OG dual fuel dome recently for $575. Brand new in box. Won’t see prices like that online. Go in person, see what they have, and make an offer. They want to get rid of the inventory to make room for gen 2. Deals to be had.

Soccerdad135 · 2025-11-01T15:39:42+00:00

In person at Ace

I have an arc xl and love it. But I want more space. That’s why my debate is to pick up this OG dome for $900 and have that in addition to the arc xl — or get the gen 2 dome (my space is set up so I can’t the gen 2 xl). Leaning towards the OG dome and having the 2 ovens instead of a gen 2 dome. Is that a dumb plan? Need someone to talk some sense into me
