Gozney Dome S1
Outdoor-kitchen builders who want the Dome's presence and heat, gas-only for less.
Gozney · Gozney Dome S1
The 'S1' just means single-fuel: gas only. If you were never going to burn wood anyway — and most owners of the dual-fuel Dome run gas most of the time — you lose nothing you'd use and save real money. You still get the thick stone floor that recovers heat fast enough to cook pizza after pizza all evening for a party.
It's a genuine centerpiece. The domed shape isn't just gorgeous; it bounces heat down onto the top of your pizza so the cheese bubbles just right. Twist the gas on, give it a good 20-plus minutes to soak up heat, and you're turning out leopard-spotted pies back to back. Your neighbors will find reasons to drop by.
The honest weakness: it's heavy — well over 100 pounds — so it wants a permanent, sturdy home and ideally a Gozney stand. And it's still a premium, outdoor-kitchen-level purchase. But for a serious host who cooks on gas, the S1 delivers the Dome dream for less. That's using your loaf.

If the Gozney Dome S1 isn't quite right
Dad's FAQ
What's the difference between the Gozney Dome and Dome S1?
The S1 is single-fuel — gas only. The standard Dome is dual-fuel and also burns wood. If you cook on gas anyway, the S1 gives you the same oven and heat retention for less money.
Is the Gozney Dome S1 worth it?
For someone building an outdoor kitchen who cooks on gas, yes — you get the Dome's showpiece build and back-to-back pizza performance without paying for a wood feature you won't use. Casual cooks are better served by a Roccbox or Arc.
How heavy is the Gozney Dome S1?
Over 100 pounds, so it's a permanent fixture, not a portable oven. Plan its spot — ideally on a sturdy Gozney stand or countertop — before it arrives.
