Gozney Dome natural gas is built as its own factory configuration, so do not assume an LPG Dome can be converted later. Gozney’s support content indicates that an LPG unit does not convert, but that page could not be re-checked directly, so confirm with Gozney before buying any conversion part. A natural gas unit also needs its own burner settings and a licensed gas fitter.
Natural gas and LPG units are set up differently, so the fuel you order is the fuel you get. The sections below on Gozney Dome natural gas cover conversion, burner specs, installation rules, outdoor safety and wood guidance for owners who keep a wood option.
This article summarizes Gozney’s published manual and support information. Gas work must follow your local codes and be done by a licensed professional.
Can a Gozney Dome Be Converted to Natural Gas?
The Gozney Dome natural gas build is set at the factory, so you should not assume an LPG Dome can be switched later. Gozney’s support content describes natural gas as a separate build for the Dome, though we could not open that help article to confirm the exact wording, so treat this as a reason to ask rather than a final rule.
The manual also gives different burner settings for each fuel. Because the injector size and gas pressure are matched to the fuel, a Gozney Dome natural gas unit and an LPG unit are not the same oven, and a hose or regulator swap does not turn one configuration into the other. Before you buy any conversion part, ask Gozney support whether your specific unit qualifies.
If you already own an LPG model and want Gozney Dome natural gas, the practical route is to contact Gozney with your model details and ask what options exist for that unit. Do not buy a third-party kit or change the injector yourself, because the manual says not to modify the appliance.
LPG and Natural Gas Gozney Dome Specs Compared
Gozney’s technical manual rates both fuel versions at 28,000 BTU/hr, but the natural gas burner uses a 2.15 mm injector and 7 inch W.C. gas pressure, against 1.52 mm and 11 inch W.C. for LPG.
| Spec | LPG configuration | Natural gas configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Total nominal heat output | 28,000 BTU/hr | 28,000 BTU/hr |
| Injector size | 1.52 mm | 2.15 mm |
| Gas pressure | 11 in. W.C. | 7 in. W.C. |
The table shows why a Gozney Dome natural gas setup cannot be treated as interchangeable with LPG, which also matters when you read about propane pizza oven temperatures. The manual lists each row as a configuration setting, so the fuel type and burner settings belong together.
Dual-fuel models include a gas hose, a regulator and a gas control dial. The manual lists these parts as dual-fuel only, so check the product list before you assume a model has them.
What Gozney Dome Natural Gas Installation Requires
A Gozney Dome natural gas unit must be installed by a licensed gas fitter, and every gas connection must be leak tested before the oven is operated.
Gozney’s Dome technical manual says installation and service must be carried out by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier. The same manual warns that improper installation, adjustment or alteration can cause property damage, injury or death.
- Hire a licensed gas fitter to connect the Gozney Dome natural gas supply to the oven.
- Leak test every connection before you light the burner.
- Follow local codes. Where none apply, the manual points to NFPA 54 (ANSI Z223.1) or CSA B149.1 for outdoor installations.
- Replace the quick-connect cover whenever the gas hose is disconnected.
- Do not modify the appliance or touch parts sealed by the manufacturer.
Local rules come first. The manual also tells owners to contact the local municipality for building codes that apply to the use, installation and operation of outdoor barbecue appliances.
When you hire the fitter, ask them to confirm that the supply pressure matches the 7 inch W.C. natural gas setting in the manual. Ask for the leak test results in writing for your Gozney Dome natural gas hookup, so you have a record of the connections that were checked.
Safe Outdoor Use for Gozney Dome Natural Gas
Gozney’s manual says the Dome is for outdoor use only, must not be used in enclosed areas, and should have a wind break set more than 45 cm from the oven in open areas.
- Use the oven outdoors only, never in an enclosed area.
- Do not use it under an apartment or condominium balcony or deck.
- Keep any wind break more than 45 cm from the oven, because wind can put out the flame.
- Never use gas and wood at the same time.
- Never operate the oven unattended.
Whether a gas Dome can stay outside through the seasons is a separate question, covered in our guide on whether you can leave a pizza oven outside. Indoor installations are a different case. The manual says to speak to a local ventilation company and follow Gozney’s separate ventilation and extraction guidance before you install the oven indoors.
The manual also says never to operate the oven within 25 feet of any flammable liquid. Keep barbecue lighting fluid, petrol and other flammable liquids well away from the oven while it is in use.
Best Wood for Gozney Dome
Kiln-dried hardwood is the best wood for a Gozney Dome, and Gozney’s manual recommends a moisture content between 10 and 20 percent.
The manual names 16 percent as the optimum moisture level. It also says dense hardwoods hold more energy and produce more heat than soft woods. For how hot different fuels run, see pizza oven temperature.
Woods to use
- Ash
- Alder
- Oak
- Beech
- Hickory
- Fruit trees such as apple and pear
Woods to avoid
Pine, fir, cedar, redwood, spruce and fatwood are on the not-to-use list, along with sappy wood and any treated or painted wood. Gozney’s manual says softwoods like pine tend to produce creosote, which can build up in the burner and oven.
Size matters as well. The manual recommends small kindling about 5½ inches long and split pieces roughly ¾ to 2 inches thick, and it warns against liquid starters. Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting.
Whichever fuel you choose, keep the stone in good shape with our guide on how to clean a pizza stone. Do not pour or spray liquids onto the oven floor or into the oven interior. The manual also warns not to pour water onto the cooking stone, because it can crack the stone and is dangerous when mixed with oil or grease.
Buying a Gozney Dome Natural Gas Model Today
Gozney Dome natural gas models are sold as separate builds, so check the fuel type on each listing before you buy. As of 2026-11-05, Gozney’s Dome product page says the Dome (Gen 2) and Dome XL (Gen 2) replace the current Dome, that Gen 2 Series ovens run on wood, charcoal or propane, and that a natural gas version is offered only in select regions (US and CA). The burner figures in this article come from the Dome technical manual, so check the manual for your exact generation, and note that retailer listings vary by region.
Before you pay, confirm the model, the fuel, and whether the seller supplies the gas hose and regulator for that configuration. Ask the dealer to confirm the installation requirement for your area as well, and ask whether the Gozney Dome natural gas version you want is sold in your state or province.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy a Gozney Dome with natural gas?
Yes, Gozney Dome natural gas is offered as a factory-built option, but availability depends on the model and your region. Check the fuel type on the listing before you order, because Gozney’s support content does not describe a simple switch for an LPG unit, so a Gozney Dome natural gas order should be placed as such from the start. Ask the seller to confirm the burner settings for the model you are buying.
Do I need a gas fitter for a Gozney Dome?
For a natural gas Dome, Gozney’s manual says installation must be done by a licensed gas fitter, and all connections must be leak tested before you operate the oven. Local building codes apply on top of that requirement, so ask the fitter which code applies in your area.
Can I run gas and wood at the same time?
No. Gozney’s manual says never use gas and wood simultaneously. Choose one fuel for each cook, and let the oven and burner cool before you switch.
Is a Gozney Dome safe indoors?
The manual is written for outdoor use and says the oven must not be used in enclosed areas. Indoor installations need advice from a local ventilation company and Gozney’s separate ventilation guidance before you start.
What wood should I avoid in a Gozney Dome?
Avoid pine, fir, cedar, spruce, sappy wood, fatwood, and any treated or painted wood. Gozney’s manual lists these as woods not to use, because softwoods tend to produce creosote that builds up in the burner and oven.
If you want Gozney Dome natural gas, order that configuration from the start and budget for a licensed gas fitter. If you do not choose Gozney Dome natural gas and want wood instead, stick to kiln-dried hardwood at 10 to 20 percent moisture. Ask Gozney about your unit before buying any part that claims to convert it.
