What is the effect of dome height and geometry on cooking performance?
How size and distance from the fire affect results.
Overview
Dome volume and distance from the fire affect convection and radiant heat.
What it means
- Larger domes retain heat and fit raised‑direct setups.
- Smaller domes respond faster but allow less headroom.
- Raised grids increase convection and reduce scorching.
