Ooni pizza ovens & accessories thread

Not an ideal time of the year weather-wise to be buying one of these things, but if you've been thinking about one of these... now's a good time to pull the trigger.

I picked up the Fyra for the princely sum of €207:

So tempted by the Koda 16 with €90 off it now. I have been thinking about getting one for months.

Delivery available for March

StaticNoise

Why, oh why did you tempt me.
I've spent the last half hour telling myself that I would never use it.

They look great - only limit is the use of it. I don't eat THAT many pizzas.

Ha ha, I had the same conversations with myself!

We have a Friday ritual with the kids here that consists of movie + pizza. Normally we get the pizzas from a local restaurant but we've been disappointed with the quality recently.

At the end of the day, I bought it for myself more than anything - I need a distraction from lockdown.

Would love one.. but it'd end up gathering dust after the initial novelty wears off like most non-essential lust items I buy.

I bet if I tasted a pizza off one and loved it... I'd be in like Flynn. I'm not even gonna click the link.

If anyone needs any slight push to invest in one... you won't regret it!!

Wife and I promised this to each other for Xmas, I was waiting for their black Friday offer and it hasn't disappointed, ooni Koda for €224, Christmas stress over

epopnomis

succumbed to the bargain, went for the gas one seems less hassle.

ms vieria

Careful Ooni Koda isn't shipping to Ireland until March 21. Prob when you would start to use it but better to know.

epopnomis

Yep saw that, wasn't planning on making any January pizzas...

Irishder

tempted to get the Gas one.....

colinmis

Wasn't planning on buying on but not sure i can resist..... what do people recommend, the Fyra or Koda?

SteM

So close to picking up a Karu, we have talking about it for ages now. It doesn't rely on pellets and I can add a gas fitting to it later if needed.

StaticNoise

I imagine that the gas one would (a) use a significant amount, and also (b) not taste authentic like the wood.

This is the reason I went with the Fyra. For me it's all about the wood-fired experience and taste.

jpb1974

So.. what are people doing when they need to re-stock on wood pellets?

Damn you boards bargain alerts! Just purchased the Karu.

I have been talking about getting one since the summer though. Wanted a wood burning one and have a shed load of hardwood. Now I need a gazebo of some sort so I can use it in all weathers.

Remember folks with Karu you can always move to gas if you struggle with wood ! Either way already have a karu and had to get a gas attachment...much easy to manage....!

Any reason you felt you had to move to gas? Was it not usable with wood?

I used it with wood for 2-3 months with great results however it was difficult to manage stretching, baking and putting wood to maintain heat....removed the maintain heat aspect to make it more manageable ! At times oven temp would go down if you dont put wood in advance...or it would go too high if you put too much !

Otherwise no difference...great pizzas both options !

Ordered the 12" Koda

I was debating whether to go for the Koda or the Fyra for flavour but there is an arguement that wood can't impart that much flavour in one minute and the smoke typically runs along the roof of the oven.

In the end I went for gas because if it's too fiddly I won't use it that often!

Ordered from the UK site because they offer delivery before Christmas with the Ireland gas regulator whilst the European site offers delivery in March for the same oven

I have a koda and have been practicing since April. I’ve done a huge amount of research and the general consensus is you can’t taste the difference because you’re cooking on a stone for 90 seconds odd.

I will say I regret not getting the 16 for the extra width and little extra height, however once you try and start making pizza, you’ll find 16 inches is MASSIVE and hard to handle/get right

I think the Karu is probably best of both worlds, but gas is definitely the cleaner quicker option when you want pizza at short notice!

Don’t forget also, you can bake naan, bagels, bread, pan pizzas, fry steaks, veg etc etc in them, not just pizza!

Oonis own brand pellets are pretty expensive, Woodies have 15kg bags for 11 euro. They are glue and binder free so while not labeled 'food grade' they are still fine for cooking pizzas. A bag lasts around 50-60 pizza cooks

Ordered the Koda, thanks OP. now to look for recipes, peels and pizza cutters

jpb1974

One bite, everyone knows the rules.

Just click on the link in the OP and choose the UK flag at the top of the site.

tyler66

I already bought it for myself.

StaticNoise

Ugh, I'm hovering over the trigger.

Wood seems handy for portability I just admit, versus the gas.

stryker mcqueen

Just noticed the march delivery..... Ugh

Have requested to cancel and will order off the UK site

I assume that you're all doing the UK site with Parcel Wizard/Motel?

The one I ordered was in stock so no waiting for me.

Muahahaha

Also the shipping is different on each site, on the EU one you have to spend 99 euro to get free shipping, otherwise it is 20 euro no matter the product. The UK site has free shipping with a £25 spend. It wont make a difference for those buying ovens as you'll get free shipping anyway but for those buying other items like peels, etc under 99 euro then the UK site and Parcel Motel is the way to go.

StaticNoise

I'm stupidly and excitedly considering the Karu.
If I buy it now from the EU site, it's €224 and I get it in February. If I get it from the UK site, it's around €12 cheaper and I get it before Christmas.

Parcel Wizard would require a €12 - €15 charge because of dimensions (rather than weight) but seems reasonable not to wait 3 months for your new toy.

Be careful ordering to parcel Wizard as the service is closing on December 11th. If delivery is after then you will have problems.

StaticNoise

Thank you for your advice. I've heard a lot about this (and completely believe you) but it's such a big statement from Parcel Wizard. It'll really mess up customs for many.

Cheers for the advice.
I wonder will that mean (if shipped from the UK) that we'll pay for our ovens on arrival.

Just got an email to say my pizza oven is on its way! Now I need to start looking up pizza dough recipes for beginners.

colinmis

When did you order Strawberry? I ordered a Karu yesterday and getting it delivered to the inlaws in Belfast.

I have big plans to use the break over Christmas to perfect my dough

I ordered the karu too. We have loads of hardwood at the house so made more sense than buying the pellet one. You also have the option to change to gas too if you want.

I really wish I hadn’t seen this thread.

Ooni Koda 12 ordered from uk site delivered yesterday.

Refund from EU site was quick and faultless too, cannot wait to get stuck into this!

StaticNoise

I ordered the Karu on the 30th November from the EU site, with a projected delivery date of late-February.

It is currently in the UK, after being dispatched from the Netherlands on the 10th December, so it was dispatched well before its due date.
I hope that it is delivered this weekend, but if not I'm sure to be eating pizza next week.

Pricey purchase, but a bit of fun.

Captain Red Beard

I have that model too, it's great craic. I've used wood, charcoal and gas and the results are outstanding. You'll surprise yourself.

Mine arrived last week. It’s still in the box as we’ve decided to make an “outdoor room” (that’s my lah dee dah word for whatever we build as I can’t think of the correct word ).

I have stocked up on OO flour and yeast though. Loads of it in SuperValu.

carltonleon

Is it still 20% off? I’ve been making my own pizzas for about 6 years now but all in a conventional oven but thinking of pulling the trigger on this if still 20% off, does it come off at checkout. I presume the outer body has some sort of cool touch finish?

StaticNoise

Unfortunately, it is no longer -20%. This was a week long sale from Black Friday (week) to shortly after Cyber Monday.
I can't seem to find you a discount elsewhere.

I can send you a 10% off link. It is a referral one that gives me a 10% voucher for my next purchase too for full disclosure.

Which supervalu did you get this in, my local one never seems to have it. Cheers
