I managed to order a Koda 16 from John Lewis yesterday and it looks like I'll get it Friday or Monday (it's going to Parcel Motel so I assume it won't fit in a locker so will have to be redirected to my home address so that might add a day onto delivery). I have a regular sized Koda being despatched to me from Ooni HQ early July (I ordered on 26th April). I won't need it now assuming the JL delivery gets to me safely. Before I cancel the order would anyone here like to buy it from me at face value. It is €279 if collected from East Meath.

Many people advise against using heat cement for the dome on an exercise ball build as it cracks. It seems to work well though for pre-formed kits. I'm using firebrick for the cooking floor bonded with heat cement. I guess Ill just have to wait and see
