Gozney Arc Flame Tamer Baffle Door

It acts as a physical barrier that helps trap heat inside the oven chamber while simultaneously smoothing out airflow. This creates a more stable, consistent environment, which is especially helpful when you need to bake at lower temperatures or manage delicate doughs that might otherwise burn.

Not necessarily. While it excels at stabilizing temperatures for longer bakes or lower-heat cooking, you may find it less essential when firing pizzas at maximum temperatures where you want maximum airflow and flame exposure.

Yes, by design. The baffle helps tame the flame, preventing it from licking too aggressively across the top of your pizza. This results in a more even cook across the crust and toppings rather than just the edges.

Because it is made from durable stainless steel, it is built to withstand high heat and is relatively straightforward to maintain. You can generally wipe it down with a damp cloth once it has fully cooled, though some discoloration from the heat is normal and expected over time.

It is generally recommended to remove the door during the initial high-heat preheating phase to ensure proper airflow and combustion. Once you are ready to bake—particularly if you are dialing back the heat for a specific recipe—you can then insert the baffle to lock in that consistent temperature.
