ever since the gazi Dome came out it has been my dream Pizza Oven I have scrimped and saved to get this thing in my house and now that it’s finally here I have quickly realized it has three major flaws the first is how long it takes to get up to Temp I can watch an extended Lord of the Rings movie before this thing’s ready to make pizza so I put a thermometer in the dome that logs the temperature those little metal things there just to hold the wire so it doesn’t move around we want as accurate temperature as possible so I made this graph here you can see the yellow line is the log ink of the temperature you can see along the bottom the time frame so in order to get to 850° which is usually where I launch my pizzas sometimes higher not very often lower but 850 is kind of a benchmark we’re going for it took an hour and 43 minutes to get up to 850 hour and 43 minutes to put that in perspective with some other popular pizza ovens check out this chart here the unot 16 that is our Orange Line it gets up to 850 in 26 minutes and it’s up to 950 in 30 minutes 30 minutes the rock the G Rockbox our yellow line here it gets up to 850 and 34 minutes and up to 950 and 47 minutes so the gny Dome is in a whole different league on how long it takes to get up to Temp this frustrated me so much that I was ready to call them up and see if I could do a return it’s also frustrating when what happens to me a lot is I want to cook a pizza for lunch one day because I’ve got some extra dough I’m not going to I don’t always remember to heat up a pizza oven 2 hours in advance so I usually just go fire up my oi and then use that for cooking lunches but I’ve got this installed in my kitchen for that reason so the fact that this oven takes so long to get up to temp in order to use it is in my book not acceptable it’s borderline crazy so this leads into my second complaint about the gny dome which is the max temp on their website they claim that the gny Dome gets up to 950° you can see on the chart here I let this run for over three and a half hours and it never got to 950 the highest it got was 890 it took to get to the 890 it took almost 2 hours and 45 5 minutes I’m not waiting that long I’m just not it’s ridiculous so the fact that they say it can get up to 950 and does not even get close is frustrating some would say it’s because it’s natural gas and it doesn’t combust as hot of a temperature but my uni Kota 16 is also natural gas and it’s getting up to 850 and 26 minutes so that’s not really much of an excuse and if it is gny probably should have designed it to get hotter than what it does now and in all honesty I’m not as upset about it not getting up to 950 I rarely ever I mean I don’t cook pizzas that hot but what’s frustrating is when I start getting into searing steaks or other kind of meats when they say it gets that hot in other pizza ovens I have easily get to a thousand it’s frustrating I was about to reach out to gazy and ask for a return When I thought let me scour the web and see if I can find something to make this product work have to at least try so I came across new to you reached out to them and asked if they would send me this door it goes on the Dome or in front of the Dome goes in the dome it’s supposed to help the temp get up quicker now when I asked them for the product I told them I want to be able to give my full honest feedback and they said say whatever you want and so far I’ve only got good things to say we put in the door and did our same test with the thermometer so let’s look at the diagram here and check out the difference on how long it took to heat up with the door which is our red line we got up to 850 in 46 minutes we shaved an hour off right is that an hour we shaved pretty much an hour off so if you buy this door every time you heat up your Dome you save an hour that is crazy that is crazy next our Max temp so to get get up to the temp they claim it can get to 950 that took an hour and 15 minutes so that’s not bad even with just the door getting up to 850 that’s right on par with the rock box which in my book is an okay amount of time to heat up I’m used to them taking half hour 45 minutes so with the door we’re getting up to that temp just as quick as a rock Box would and do you remember on our test before it took 2 hours and 45 minutes to get up to 890 as a Max temp with this door we got it up to 1,20 De so if you’re going to see a steak or something like that you get this door on there first now you’re really cooking and I got to say I am not an affiliate for this company I’m not getting paid to say this my honest opinion is if you have a dome or ever going to get a dome you need to get this door I’m not kidding this I would send this back if it weren’t for this door cuz now I can actually cook pizzas on it in a normal manner so before we move on to to the third issue there’s a subsection B on getting up to Temp that I want to talk about because this is something that I encounter every time I cook pizzas which is how long the stone takes to get back up to temp after I’ve cooked a pizza almost every time I cook pizzas I’m cooking several of them and the worst thing is you cook your second pizza and it’s got a garbage undercarriage it’s pale it’s not doesn’t have any leopard ink it has no crunch if that’s what you’re going for it sucks it’s not great it’s not a great experience most pizza ovens have this problem I have yet to encounter a pizza oven that I’ve talked about here on my channel where you can launch a pizza right after there’s always time that it needs to get up to Temp some are quicker than others let’s see if we can’t cut that warm-up time down so you can cook more pizzas in a short amount of time so what we’ve done is a little test we waited till the stone got up to 850° temped it 850 launched our pizza cooked it for 2 minutes and took it off it temped at around 680 is and then we let it and this it’s on the highest flame this whole time we let it get back up to Temp just naturally took 34 minutes till it was back up to 850 we cooked a pizza in it again two minutes took it off temped it about 680 put the door on it five minutes later it’s back up to 850 34 minutes 5 minutes so here’s what I like to do after I’ve taken the pizza out put the door right back on and you’ll be back in business a lot quicker than 34 minutes so again I repeat you need this door if you want your Dome to do what it should so some of you may wonder why not use the gny door this I’m not bashing on this door it’s a great door I’ve used it to bake with and it does great for that but even gny themselves say do not use the door when the gas burner is in use or a live fire is present so this is not to be used with a live fire so what we’re doing here this isn’t even this isn’t even capable of doing that this isn’t even in the equation so move it aside still great also I have video coming out later where I’ll show how to use it for smoking and for baking but our purpose is right now it does not work now on to my third and final problem with the godsy do which is the flame going out getting blown out before I put my Dome inside I had it outside for about 3 weeks which during that time I had the flame go out on me twice on two separate occasions which if you’re right there cooking it’s not a big deal but I turned it on and left to go do some chores and stuff while it was getting up to temp came back a half hour later and it’s sitting there at 200° and have to fire it back up and do it all over again so new to you also sent me the wind Tamer which is this product right here and the flame tamer right here you can see you can put these you can put just the flame tamer in the dome and what that is supposed to do is make it so your crust right by the flame doesn’t burn as quickly and then you can also set up the wind tamer in two different ways one is in conjunction with the flame tamer and the other is doing it by itself so I wanted to test out the product before I said it fixed it to put these to the test inside I got my wind Simulator 3 3000 also known as the lift glider and tried to simulate like a burst of wind up close and as you’ll see here we’ve got it up close without the Tamer and it’s it’s pushing on that flame pretty good like it’s about to go out but then we do it again with the Tamer and it’s getting pushed around but it’s holding its own it’s doing a pretty good job so then I did the same test but 4 feet away from the Dome with and without the Tamer without the Tamer the flame still getting pushed around a good amount and then with the Tamer it’s getting pushed but it’s keeping its mass and it’s still going over top the dome which would still heat the pizza all the testing we did was with just the wind Tamer uh we didn’t really do much on the flame tamer but I did notice when they were used in conjunction it seemed to work even better so if you do find yourself with this issue with your flame getting blown out I would highly recommend picking yourself up a wind Tamer potentially a flame as well hopefully this has helped some of you out there whove had some problems with your Dome if any of you have had similar problems let me know and if there’s other problems that didn’t bring up let me know and we’ll see if we can come up for a fix other than that thanks for stopping by
