  • High-temperature outdoor pizza ovens have traditionally been confined to backyards, patios, and permanent spaces and designed to be heavy, static, and lacking portability. As more people embrace nomadic lifestyles and adventure-led travel, there was a clear need for a durable, portable solution that could deliver pro-grade performance off-grid. The challenge was to reimagine what portability truly means in this space — designing an oven that could endure remote terrain, be easy to transport and use, and maintain the high standards of heat, control and quality Gozney is known for, without compromising on aesthetics, usability or the joy of cooking outdoors.

  • Tread redefines what is possible for portable outdoor cooking. Engineered from the ground up, it features Gozney’s revolutionary lateral gas burner for even heat distribution, rapid ignition, and pro-grade control in the wild. Compact yet rugged, its integrated carry handles, space-age insulation, and ultra-fast heat-up and cool-down times make off-grid cooking simple. The Venture Stand provides stability on uneven ground, while accessories like the Roof Rack and Mantel expand its functionality. A key challenge was achieving thermal efficiency in a lightweight form. Gozney solved this through meticulous material selection and product testing. Tread delivers performance, portability, and versatility, without compromise.

  • Tread has expanded Gozney’s reach beyond the backyard, enabling high-performance cooking in places previously thought impossible. By blending portability with pro-grade design, Gozney has expanded its customer base to include campers, travellers, and urban backyards alike. As one of Gozney’s most anticipated releases, Tread’s waitlist surpassed 19,000 foodies, globally, reinforcing the brand’s recognition for innovation. Tread is durable, has a rapid cool-down functionality, is ready to pack away within 20 minutes plus gas efficiency for lower fuel use. It redefines outdoor dining to connect, create, and cook together in nature, transforming everyday meals into unforgettable moments in the wild.

  • Tread was designed as a complete off-grid cooking system, integrating features that enhance usability, performance and portability. Gozney’s revolutionary lateral gas burner is a core feature, delivering an even, rolling flame that mimics a traditional wood fire and reaches temperatures of up to 500ºC in as little as 15 minutes. The 12mm removable cordierite stone floor ensures optimal heat retention and can be easily replaced, supporting long-term use. The oven’s compact design and 13.5kg weight supports portability, which is further enhanced by carry handles. Its durable construction uses 304 stainless steel, die-cast aluminium and ceramic bonding for maximum durability in outdoor environments. The Venture Stand provides a stable platform with independently adjustable legs and a built-in level, ideal for uneven ground. The Roof Rack converts the oven’s top into a prep station, while the attachable Mantel allows easier turning, basting, and resting during cooking. Tread is plug-and-play, with rapid cool-down functionality, ready to pack away within 20 minutes. Its user-friendly interface includes a responsive flame control dial and easy-start ignition. Thoughtfully designed accessories, intuitive setup, and robust materials make Tread a powerful tool for live-fire cooking anywhere that turns any outdoor location into a makeshift kitchen.
