Input like this is why I love this place!
When I started looking at ovens the Gozney Dome really seemed like the best made option out there short of maybe importing a full on Zio Ciro from Italy.
More I thought about it, much as I enjoy setting something on fire with wood what's really the point for pizza? Once the preheat is done, the cook itself is a few minutes and it's over.
I'm not really into Neo style pizza at all, and after Sako and the guys here educated me on the Blackstone it was a no brainer. This thing comes out of the garage and ten minutes later it's well into the 650* range ready to cook the first pizza with the gas regulator dialed back two turns and the burner control set in the medium range.
I don't think anything else made even comes close to the preheat speed of the Blackstone, it was a nice benefit you'd never know about unless you got to use one.
Plus the overall dimensions are just more user friendly than the other cookers on the market, 16" stone with lots of extra space on the sides and a nice mantel piece on the front to rest and slide the peel on.
Blackstone did a great job with the design and I can't imagine using anything else at this point.
POV of how easy it is to maneuver the peel into the oven and work with the pizza, this oven is a real joy to use and very versatile no matter the heat range or style of pizza you like to cook.
