Buying Guide
FAQs
What are the key differences between the Ooni Koda 16 Gas and Natural Gas models?
The Ooni Koda 16 Gas model uses propane, while the Natural Gas model connects to a gas line and cannot be converted. Both reach 950°F, cook pizza in 60 seconds, and share similar features like heat retention and versatility.
Is a pizza oven cover necessary, and what features should I look for?
Covers protect against weather damage. Look for waterproof, UV-resistant materials (e.g., 600D polyester with PVC coating) and secure fasteners like bungee cords or buckles to prevent slippage during wind or rain.
How does the Ooni Koda 2 Pro compare to the Koda 16?
The Koda 2 Pro offers better heat distribution via G2 Gas Technology, a larger 18" cooking area, and Ooni Connect temperature monitoring. It’s pricier but adds versatility for roasting meats and pyrolytic cleaning.
What accessories enhance the Ooni Koda 16’s functionality?
Consider a pizza oven door (reduces preheat time), a durable cordierite pizza stone (even heat distribution), or a cart for mobility and storage. Covers and stone replacements are also popular upgrades.
What should I prioritize when choosing a pizza oven cart?
Opt for a cart with a large, sturdy tabletop, storage for gas tanks/accessories, and lockable wheels. Compatibility with your oven model and easy assembly are key factors.
Are Ooni pizza stones worth replacing, and how do I maintain them?
Replacement stones made of cordierite ensure even baking and durability. Clean with warm water (no soap) and avoid soaking to prevent cracking. Regular scraping removes residue.
Does the Ooni Koda 16 require special installation or setup?
No. Both models are ready to use out of the box: unfold legs, insert the pizza stone, connect to gas, and ignite. Natural Gas requires a line connection, while Propane uses a tank.
