Which Glowen Pizza Oven? Dragon 14/17 and Raptor 1/2

The first decision is fuel. Dragon 14 and Dragon 17 are gas pizza ovens. Raptor 1 and Raptor 2 support wood, charcoal and gas, with a compatible gas burner required for gas cooking. Then choose the size that suits the pizzas you actually make and the space available outdoors.

The four models at a glance

Model

Published capacity

A useful starting point

Dragon 14

Pizza up to approximately 35 cm

Gas cooking with a smaller oven

Dragon 17

Pizza up to approximately 43 cm

Gas cooking with room for larger pizzas

Raptor 1 Black

Pizza up to 38 cm

Different fuel options for one pizza at a time

Raptor 2

60 × 50 cm cooking area

More room for larger or multiple smaller pizzas

Maximum pizza size is a capacity figure, not a size you have to use. Smaller pizzas leave more room to launch, turn and retrieve them.

Which model suits your pizza nights?

Dragon 14: gas and smaller pizzas

Start with the Dragon 14 if you want to cook with gas and normally make individual pizzas. Its published capacity is up to approximately 35 cm. It is a sensible shortlist option when you have no plans to cook with wood or charcoal.

Dragon 17: gas with room to go larger

The Dragon 17 keeps the gas-only approach and increases the published pizza capacity to approximately 43 cm. Consider it if larger pizzas are part of your routine. Check the space for the oven and your working area before choosing it on diameter alone.

Raptor 1: a choice of fuels

The standard Raptor 1 Black suits cooks who want the option of wood or charcoal as well as gas. It accommodates a pizza up to 38 cm. Choose it because you want those fuel options; remember that the No Burner configuration does not include a gas burner.

Raptor 2: more cooking space

The Raptor 2 combines the same fuel options with a 60 × 50 cm cooking area. It belongs on the shortlist when cooking space is a priority. Multiple pizzas also mean more launching, turning and monitoring, so plan the workflow as well as the oven size.

Check the configuration before ordering

Both Raptor product pages offer No Burner, 30/37 mBar and 50 mBar variants. Both Dragons offer 30/37 mBar and 50 mBar variants. Select the version specified for your country and gas setup; ask Glowen if you are unsure.

The four standard product listings state that the gas hose and regulator are not included. Bundles have their own contents, so check the exact package rather than assuming that peels, covers or other accessories come with the oven.

All four are outdoor ovens. Before buying, check the model instructions, the required clearances, a suitable supporting surface and room to work with a peel. The oven comparison can help narrow the choice; contact the team with your usual pizza size and preferred fuel if two models still fit.
