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.
Specifications
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
