Interior dome height
60 cm
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the desired interior dome diameter in centimeters.
- Set wall thickness, insulation layer thickness, and the number of pizzas to cook simultaneously.
- The calculator returns dome height, door dimensions, outer diameter, maximum pizza capacity, and thermal mass.
- Use the heat-up time estimate to plan your firing schedule (typically 1.5–2 hours before cooking).
- Adjust diameter to trade between pizza capacity and build materials required.
