Koda 16

Ooni

Gas-powered outdoor oven that hits 500°C in under 20 minutes and handles 16-inch pizzas comfortably. The L-shaped flame burner eliminates the cold spot that plagued the Koda 12, giving more even heat across the full stone.

Pros

  • Reaches 450–500°C in 15–20 minutes — genuinely fast for a gas oven this size
  • L-shaped burner covers the back and side, reducing cold spots vs. Koda 12
  • 40cm cordierite stone fits a true 16-inch pizza with room to rotate
  • Simple setup — regulator, hose, ignition, bake
  • Good stone recovery time (~2–3 min between pies) for back-to-back baking

Cons

  • Outdoor-only; no insulated door, so heat bleeds fast in cold or windy conditions
  • No built-in thermometer on base model — a separate IR gun is effectively required
  • No wood/charcoal option; flavor is clean but neutral compared to multi-fuel ovens
  • Wind can affect flame consistency and cook times
