Koda 12
Ooni
The oven that made gas-fired pizza normal at home, and still the best-selling model Ooni ever made. Now superseded by the Koda 2, but widely available secondhand and often heavily discounted new. At 9.2 kg it is the lightest real pizza oven in the catalogue, and it reaches 500 C in about 15 minutes.
Specifications
Pros
- 9.2 kg, the lightest genuine 500 C oven here. It really is a one-hand carry
- Instant gas ignition and up to temperature in roughly 15 minutes
- Frequently discounted now that the Koda 2 has replaced it
- Enormous owner community, so troubleshooting any problem takes one search
Cons
- Pronounced hot spot at the back. A 12 inch pizza needs turning every 20 seconds or so
- 12 inch stone leaves no margin. A slightly oversized base will touch the flame
- Superseded model, so new stock is increasingly scarce
- No temperature readout of any kind. An infrared thermometer is effectively mandatory
