Get the full rundown on the Gozney Arc Lite + Tonester bundle: what's in the box, how to use the Tonester, and tips for getting the most out of your compact pizza oven.
Quick answer
The Gozney Arc Lite + Tonester bundle pairs a compact, award-winning pizza oven with a specialized tool that lets you add subtle wood-fired flavor and a custom look to your pizzas. Here's exactly what you get and how to use it.
What makes the Tonester different from a standard wood chip box?
The Tonester is not a smoker box you load with wood chips. It's a small ceramic vessel that sits inside the Arc Lite and holds a small amount of wood. As the oven heats, the wood smolders and releases a light, clean smoke that flavors the pizza without overpowering it. The included "High at the Gala" shade adds a subtle black-and-violet tint to the ceramic, giving the tool a distinctive look that matches the oven's design-forward aesthetic.
Frequently asked questions about the Arc Lite + Tonester bundle
- What comes in the box?
- The bundle includes the Arc Lite pizza oven, the Tonester (with the "High at the Gala" shade), and a small bag of wood pellets. You also get the standard Arc Lite accessories: a pizza peel, a gas regulator and hose, and a user manual.
- How do I use the Tonester?
- Preheat the Arc Lite to cooking temperature (about 15 minutes). Fill the Tonester with a small handful of wood pellets—don't overfill. Place the Tonester inside the oven, near the flame, using the included peel or tongs. The wood will smolder and produce a thin, clean smoke. Cook your pizza as usual; the smoke will add a mild wood-fired flavor and a subtle color change to the crust.
- Can I use the Tonester with other Gozney ovens?
- The Tonester is designed specifically for the Arc Lite. Its size and shape fit the oven's firebox. Using it in a larger oven like the Dome or Roccbox may not produce the same effect because the airflow and heat distribution differ.
- Do I need to use the Tonester every time?
- No. The Tonester is an optional add-on. You can cook pizzas in the Arc Lite without it—the oven still delivers excellent results. Use the Tonester when you want a hint of wood-fired character or a more dramatic presentation.
- How do I clean the Tonester?
- Let the Tonester cool completely after use. Empty any remaining ash. Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Do not use water or soap, as the ceramic is porous and can absorb moisture. Over time, a natural patina will develop, which is normal and harmless.
