Fuel and setup

Roccbox propane or wood? The second fuel is an add-on

Start with the U.S. Black Roccbox as it is sold in the base package, then decide whether a separate burner, its fuel routine and its unresolved clearance details fit your station.

The supplied arrangement is propane

The U.S. Roccbox row identifies the Black model, SKU GRPBKUS1615. Its U.S./Canada gas manual identifies model RBX1.1 and propane at 14,330 BTU per hour and 11 inches water column. The maker lists one 12-inch-class pizza at a time. The base plan has a built-in underfloor thermometer, a manual flame control and a stationary floor; turn a pizza by hand. It is a useful fit when you want to begin with the equipment in the oven package rather than add a separate fuel module.

That is an outdoor-only gas plan. The manual says not to use the oven in an enclosed area, not to leave it unattended, and to keep at least five feet from a structure, combustible material or another gas cylinder. It separately specifies 25 feet from flammable liquids. Those are meaningful placement requirements, not a hint that retractable legs make a small sheltered patio acceptable. Use a stable level support and follow the current manual for cylinder, hose, leak-check and cool-down details.

Wood and charcoal use the Wood Burner 2.0

Gozney lists Wood Burner 2.0 separately and describes it as a detachable Roccbox burner. Its product page says you can switch between gas and wood; for the 2.0 it describes kiln-dried kindling for high-heat cooking and charcoal or briquettes for lower, slower cooking. The same page describes a larger fuel chamber, more ventilation, a removable ash tray and a hopper tool as changes from its predecessor. These are the maker's claims about the attachment, not measurements from a side-by-side test.

For its 2.0 how-to page, Gozney names kiln-dried hardwood, heatproof gloves and an outdoor, well-ventilated space as the starting requirements. That supports treating wood and charcoal as real Roccbox configurations when the attachment is included. It does not turn the burner into a separate oven or put it in the base box.

What the current documentation does—and does not—settle

The manuals index still links a wood-burner PDF labeled “Roccbox 2020.” Because Gozney describes the current 2.0 as changed from its predecessor, that document is not used here to assert 2.0 installation steps, ash handling or a numeric clearance. The five-foot figure above is from the Roccbox U.S. gas manual; this review does not extend it to a changed attachment as if the 2.0-specific instructions had confirmed it. If a precise clearance is essential to your site, or you need the current fitting procedure, get Gozney's current instructions before choosing that mode.

How to answer the finder

Choose propane and “no extra functional accessory” for the supplied plan. Choose wood or charcoal only if you accept buying and fitting the separate Wood Burner 2.0; that answer will not satisfy a no-extra requirement. The Roccbox stays a 12-inch, single-pizza outdoor oven whichever fuel is selected. If you need a documented numeric clearance for wood, do not let the finder guess. Compare the Roccbox review for its full fit limits; if you want a multi-fuel oven without a burner add-on, compare the separately configured Dome Gen 2 or the current Ooni Karu family instead.
