RAPTOR 2 / TECHNOLOGIES & DESIGN
Inspired by traditional Italian masonry ovens. A side fire, a 20 mm chamotte floor and space above the pizza help the whole pizza bake together — with time for the centre toppings to brown.
The crust can brown before moist toppings in the centre are ready. Raptor 2 combines a taller chamber, left-side fire and heated stone to give the whole pizza time to develop.

01 / ALTURA DE LA CÁMARA Y ELEVACIÓN DE LA CORTEZA A medida que la corteza se eleva, entra en una región térmica diferente.A medida que la corteza sube, se acerca más a la zona superior más caliente de la cámara inferior de Dragon. El mismo aumento deja más espacio libre en la cámara más alta de Raptor. Relative heat regions show the effect of chamber clearance. The colour bands are schematic, with gradual boundaries; they are not measured temperature maps. Why the rising crust changes the bake.The colours distinguish relative positions in the chamber, not the temperature of the pizza itself. At launch, the dough sits low above the stone. As the outer crust expands, its top moves toward the hotter flame and upper surfaces, while the topping-covered center remains lower. In the lower Dragon chamber, the rising crust reaches this upper region sooner. Its exposed surface loses moisture and can darken rapidly. The wetter center is still using energy to evaporate water, so it needs more time before its surface browns. FullBake gives the growing crust more clearance while continuing to heat the toppings and the base during the same bake. | |
02 / CORTEZA Y CENTROKeep clearance as the crust rises.A medida que la corteza se expande hacia arriba, la cámara R2, más alta, le da más espacio antes de que llegue a la zona de calor superior. Los ingredientes del centro siguen recibiendo calor mientras se evapora la humedad y se dora su superficie. | 02 / CORTEZA Y CENTROThe rising crust reaches the upper region sooner.With less clearance, the same rise brings the Dragon’s crust into the upper heat region earlier. The crust can darken quickly while the wetter center remains lower and still needs time to brown. |

The hot stone conducts heat into the base. Radiation and convection heat the exposed toppings and crust. FullBake names the Raptor’s combined arrangement of chamber height, side flame and heated stone.
Se muestran las configuraciones de gas. Comparación conceptual de las cámaras, no son dibujos a escala ni mapas de temperatura medidos. FullBake se utiliza en ambos modelos Raptor; Dragon 14 y Dragon 17 no tienen FullBake.
The crust can look ready while the toppings in the center still need time. Sauce, mozzarella and other moist ingredients absorb heat as they warm, and evaporation uses some of that energy. The exposed crust can dry and darken sooner. FullBake Technology in the Glowen Raptor 2 is designed around bringing these different parts of the pizza through the same bake.
Its taller chamber, left-side fire and 20 mm chamotte stone work together. Contact with the stone transfers heat into the base. The flame and hot chamber surfaces radiate heat toward the pizza, while moving hot gases also contribute. The space above the pizza and the position of the fire influence how that heat reaches the crust and toppings. Chamber height is one part of this arrangement, alongside the other surfaces and the heat source.
The aim is to give toppings time to brown, including in the center, before the crust darkens too quickly. Watch their progress, turn the pizza and adjust the fire as needed. Inspired by traditional Italian masonry ovens, the Raptor 2 follows their cooking layout: side fire, pizza on stone and space above it for flame and hot surfaces.
INSPIRED BY NEAPOLITAN MASONRY OVENS
Sigue el flujo de aire entrante hacia el fuego lateral y luego los gases calientes por encima de la pizza hasta la salida. La disposición común consta de un suelo caliente, combustión lateral y espacio superior. Un horno portátil de acero tiene una masa térmica diferente a la de un horno de mampostería.
Wood fire at the side · Front vent and chimney
Side-fire principle · Front opening at right
Hot gases rise because they are less dense than the surrounding air. As they leave through the outlet, replacement air enters. The shape of the openings, the gas path and the temperature difference affect this natural draft. In the gas R2, the gas jet separately draws primary air into the burner before ignition.
| Sigue el flujo | Masonry oven · wood | Raptor 2 · gas |
|---|---|---|
| 01Suministro de aire | Fresh air enters low through the oven mouth and travels toward the wood fire. The open space around the logs lets combustion air reach the burning fuel. | The gas jet draws primary air into the burner’s mixing tube. Additional, secondary air enters the open chamber and reaches the flames around the burner. |
| 02Combustión lateral | The wood fire is banked along the side of the hearth, beside the pizza. The flame rises along the vault, leaving the central stone surface available for baking. | The gas burner sits along the left side, beside the baking stone. Flames emerge from openings along its active length and rise into the chamber. |
| 03Conducto de gas caliente y salida | Hot gases move beneath the vault and toward the upper part of the mouth. A vent above the entrance collects them into the chimney, outside the cooking dome. | Hot gases rise into the space above the baking stone and travel toward the front of the chamber, then leave through the short upper outlet. |
The side flame and heated upper surfaces supply energy to the crust and toppings, while the stone heats the base by contact. FullBake brings these processes together in the R2’s taller chamber, giving the center toppings time to brown as the crust rises.
Raptor 2’s side burner sends a rolling flame across the upper chamber. Follow the visible side crusts and toppings through the front opening, then choose your moment to turn.

¼ turn · 90°
The R2 burner is designed to recreate the sweep of a side fire: a broad flame rises on the left and rolls across the upper chamber toward the right. Heat reaches both side crusts during the bake, where you can follow their color and decide when to turn.
Left + rear flame position
½ turn · 180°
Las llamas se encuentran a la izquierda y en la parte trasera. La cara exterior de la corteza trasera apunta en dirección opuesta a ti, por lo que puede oscurecerse rápidamente sin que veas directamente su color. Para cuando la gires y quede a la vista, esa parte puede estar demasiado dorada.
Left + rear + right flame position
½ turn · 180°
The rear crust can overbrown quickly while its outer face is hidden from view. After turning, flames still heat both sides. If those crust sections have already browned, continued exposure can take both too far while the center toppings are still finishing.
Primer clic: gira R2 90° y los ejemplos L/U 180°. Un segundo clic restablece la comparación.
Primer clic: R2 gira 90°; L/U giran 180°. Segundo clic: restablecer. Los ángulos ilustran esta comparación; elige el ángulo de giro y el momento según tu horneado real.
Desde la posición frontal ilustrada, se pueden ver la parte superior de la pizza, las cortezas delantera y lateral, y el suelo despejado a su alrededor. La pizza oculta la cara exterior de la corteza trasera y la zona baja justo detrás de ella. Aquí, R2 gira 90°, llevando la sección de la corteza trasera hacia un lado; los ejemplos L y U giran 180°, llevándola al frente. La zona oculta permanece detrás de la pizza.
Illustrative turns and heat exposure, not measured baking rates. After the turn, the remaining pale crust gradually browns; the R2’s already browned sections keep their color in this illustration. In the U-shaped example, the already dark rear crust comes into view; the side crusts darken further after the turn. Drawings are not to scale.
InView Baking Technology combines the Glowen Raptor 2’s side-fire layout with a direct view through the cooking opening. The gas burner is designed to recreate the sweep of a side fire: a broad flame rises on the left and rolls across the upper chamber toward the right. Heat reaches both side crusts during the same bake, making their developing color useful feedback for turning.
Un quemador cuyas llamas permanecen cerca de sus orificios concentra la exposición directa a las llamas a lo largo de esa línea. Extender el quemador en forma de L o U distribuye las llamas alrededor de más lados de la piedra. R2 utiliza un enfoque diferente: su quemador permanece a la izquierda, mientras que la llama envolvente se extiende por la cámara.
In the illustrated L and U layouts, rear crust can darken quickly while its outer face points away from you. A turn reveals that surface after the browning has occurred. The U layout also keeps flame on both sides after a turn; already colored crust can become overbrowned while the center finishes.
Green marks the visible area; purple marks the low space hidden behind the pizza. In this illustration, the first click turns R2 by 90° and the L/U examples by 180°. In the U-shaped example, the already dark rear crust comes into view and the side crusts darken further after the turn. A second click resets the illustration. Choose actual turns from the crust and toppings; check the underside separately once the base is firm enough.
El gas y el aire primario se mezclan dentro del quemador Raptor 2. El aire secundario llega a las llamas de la cámara. El encendido automático por chispa inicia la llama; tú controlas su ajuste.
INSIDE VORTEX
Yellow gas meets green primary air, mixes through the bend and downstream passage, then reaches the flame openings. Both combustion zones are outside the tube.
Diagramas conceptuales del flujo y la llama. La diferencia de velocidad y las trayectorias de los vórtices son ilustrativas, no datos medidos del flujo R2. El amarillo, el verde y el amarillo verdoso identifican el gas, el aire y su mezcla; los gases no cambian de color visiblemente. Los colores de la llama son ilustrativos, no indican una medición de pureza.
Turning the flow redistributes velocity and pressure across the passage. The animation distinguishes faster and slower regions, then shows transverse motion carrying gas and air across the stream. The inset shows a pair of opposing vortices in cross-section; the mixture keeps travelling toward the outlets.
The mixture ignites after leaving a flame opening. Oxygen carried in with the primary air supports the inner reaction zone. In a partially premixed flame, this first zone may not supply all the oxygen needed for complete combustion.
El aire de la cámara del horno llega a la zona exterior de la llama. Este aire secundario favorece la oxidación adicional del combustible restante y de los productos intermedios de la combustión. Se incorpora fuera del tubo, a través del espacio que rodea las llamas y entre ellas.
THE PURPOSE OF THE MIX
The aim is to release heat without depositing burner-generated soot on the pizza. Mixing the gas with air before ignition, then supplying secondary air at the flames, helps prevent the fuel-rich conditions in which soot can form.
The R2 burner starts with automatic spark ignition. A thermocouple shuts off the gas if the flame goes out. Set the flame manually with the knob; this is not automatic temperature control.
Vortex Burner Technology in the Glowen Raptor 2 gas burner names a gas-and-air mixing design for the burner supplying heat during gas cooking. Preparation begins inside the burner: a gas jet draws surrounding air into the tube. This is primary air, mixed with the fuel before it reaches the flame ports.
The path includes a straight section, a bend and another straight mixing section. Changing direction encourages cross-flow and swirling movements that redistribute gas and air across the tube. Mixing continues in the straight section after the bend, before the mixture reaches the ports arranged along the burner. Vortex refers to this movement inside the mixing path.
Un suministro de aire independiente llega a las llamas de la cámara de cocción. El espacio entre las salidas de las llamas permite que este aire secundario acceda a la mezcla en combustión. Por lo tanto, la mezcla primaria y el acceso del aire secundario cumplen funciones distintas en diferentes etapas de la combustión.
The Raptor 2 burner uses automatic spark ignition and a thermocouple that shuts off the gas if the flame goes out. This is flame-failure protection, not a thermostat. Set the flame with the control knob and use the gas category and pressure stated on the burner label. Flame colour alone does not establish combustion completeness or heat output.
Primary air mixes inside the burner. Secondary air reaches the flames in the chamber.
The fire, chamber and insulation prepare Raptor 2 for the first bake. Follow the wood-fire warm-up below, then check the stone before launching.
Enciende el fuego de leña directamente en el suelo de la cámara, en el lado izquierdo. El Firebox independiente es un accesorio opcional.
RapidPreheat is Glowen’s name for the Raptor 2’s approach to fast preheating. The fire supplies heat, the chamber’s internal surfaces warm up and the insulating shell helps limit losses through the walls. At the same time, the stone absorbs energy that it will transfer to the base of your pizza.
With dry wood, warm-up can reinforce the fire: hotter gases rise and encourage replacement air to enter, while radiant heat warms the fuel and promotes the release of combustible gases. Airflow, fuel surface and heat interact. This feedback has limits set by the openings, fuel load and heat losses; adding more wood does not always create a faster or cleaner fire. Gas heat input is controlled separately at the burner.
Una cámara caliente y una piedra precalentada son dos aspectos de estar listo. La llama puede parecer intensa mientras la piedra aún se está calentando. El calor también tarda en llegar por debajo de la superficie de la piedra. Antes de lanzar la masa, comprueba varios puntos de la zona de cocción prevista con un termómetro infrarrojo y utiliza una temperatura de superficie adecuada para la masa y el estilo de cocción. La lectura infrarroja indica la temperatura de la superficie; no mide directamente el calor acumulado a mayor profundidad.
This preparation helps the base start cooking as soon as the dough touches the stone, alongside the heat reaching the toppings above. Each pizza then takes energy from the stone. Between bakes, check the cooking area and allow it to recover as needed. The fuel, fire setting, starting temperature and outdoor conditions all affect preheating, so the first pizza goes in when the oven is ready for your bake.
La madera seca y partida, junto con las vías de circulación de aire abiertas, favorecen un fuego vigoroso. La carga de combustible, la temperatura inicial y las condiciones exteriores influyen en el calentamiento.
Aumenta el calor progresivamente. Una llama viva no indica que esté listo: comprueba la superficie de cocción antes de preparar la primera pizza.
La llama calienta la cámara y la madera. Al calentarse, la madera seca libera gases combustibles, que se preparan para arder.
More heat. Stronger draft. A more vigorous fire. This feedback is limited by fuel, openings and heat losses. Keep air paths open and allow the stone to heat through before baking.
The construction behind the heat
Raptor 2 has two insulation layers around the complete upper shell and sides, two at the rear and two beneath the baking stone. ThermaShell limits heat escaping through the enclosure during warm-up and cooking.
Sigue los dos colores alrededor de la cámara. Ambas capas continúan por la parte superior y los laterales, recorren la pared trasera y pasan por debajo de la piedra para hornear.
Transparent body reveals insulation placement. Colours distinguish the two layers; they do not represent material colour or temperature.
ThermaShell Design describes the double insulation surrounding the Glowen Raptor 2 cooking chamber. Two layers follow the complete upper shell and side walls, two cover the rear, and two sit beneath the baking stone. This arrangement limits heat loss around the chamber and through the cooking floor.
Heat moves from the hot interior toward the cooler surroundings. Each insulation layer adds resistance along that path. During preheating, restricting these losses leaves more of the supplied energy available to warm the chamber and stone. During cooking, it reduces the heat that escapes through the enclosure and must be replaced by the fire.
The two layers beneath the stone address a different part of the heat-loss path from the upper and rear insulation. The 20 mm chamotte stone stores energy for the pizza base; insulation below it slows heat transfer toward the underside of the oven. After each pizza, continued heating replenishes energy taken from the cooking floor. Check the stone before launching again.
The opening still admits air and releases hot gases, so fire management remains important. The outer body can become hot. Use the flat, non-combustible support and clearances specified in the Raptor 2 instructions, and let the oven cool naturally after cooking.
Las conexiones de Raptor 2 permiten un movimiento limitado cuando las piezas metálicas se calientan y se enfrían.
Referencia en frío: observa el borde de la placa mientras se calienta la unión.
ThermoFlex Design is the Glowen Raptor 2’s approach to joining metal components while allowing for thermal expansion. Metal changes size with temperature: it expands during heating and contracts during cooling. How far a part moves depends on its material, dimensions and temperature change.
Las distintas partes de un horno para pizza también pueden calentarse a ritmos diferentes. La cámara interior está expuesta al fuego, mientras que los demás componentes se encuentran en condiciones distintas. Si sus uniones impiden por completo el movimiento relativo resultante, pueden acumularse tensiones térmicas. ThermoFlex utiliza juntas que permiten un movimiento limitado entre las partes conectadas, para adaptarse a los cambios dimensionales previstos en el conjunto.
This happens throughout an ordinary cooking session, from starting the fire through baking and cooling afterward. It is a construction feature that needs no separate control or adjustment from the cook. Its contribution to using the oven is in the way the chamber is assembled for repeated changes between hot and cold conditions.
Mientras te concentras en la pizza, estas conexiones cumplen su función mecánica: mantener unidos los componentes y permitir su movimiento térmico previsto. Después de la sesión, deja que el Raptor 2 se enfríe de forma natural, siguiendo sus instrucciones de funcionamiento. ThermoFlex contempla la expansión como parte del diseño del horno.
Wood, charcoal or gas in one Raptor 2. Use the compatible burner for gas, or build a wood fire directly on the left chamber floor. The Firebox is optional.
FuelFlex Design significa que el Glowen Raptor 2 puede prepararse para leña, carbón o gas. Su diseño de fuego lateral, la cámara más alta y la piedra calentada funcionan en conjunto con la fuente de calor elegida. Elige el combustible antes de empezar y prepara el horno y el equipo para ello.
Para usar leña, enciende el fuego directamente sobre el suelo de la cámara, a la izquierda, junto a la zona de cocción. El Firebox es opcional: ayuda a contener los troncos y a controlar la ceniza. Los trozos más pequeños y secos responden rápidamente durante el calentamiento; los más grandes pueden mantener un fuego más lento si hay suficiente espacio alrededor para que circule el aire. El carbón vegetal crea un lecho de brasas con un equilibrio distinto entre calor radiante y llama.
Gas requires the compatible Raptor 2 burner, with automatic spark ignition and a manually adjustable flame. Its inclusion depends on the package. Match the hose, regulator and gas supply to the burner version; the standalone burner does not include a hose or regulator. Let the oven cool completely before changing equipment or fuel configuration.
Para cocinar a temperaturas más bajas con combustible sólido, la puerta específica Raptor 2 ayuda a controlar la abertura y el suministro de aire. Está pensada para cocciones más lentas, como la del pan y los cortes de carne más grandes, y no para cocinar pizza a alta temperatura. Úsala con la configuración de combustible sólido, no con el quemador de gas. Controla el fuego y vigila cómo se estabiliza la temperatura de cocción.
