Ooni pizza ovens & accessories thread

Fupp sake.

Been on holidays for the last few days, come back and it's sold out again! 🤬

Are you referring to the Koda 12 gas fired oven which are €349? I do a good bit of BBQ'ing and use a bread stone on my BBQ to do pizza's but the temp only gets to 300c max and whilst the results are grand it's a bit of a faff.

Is the 12 the best gas fired option for once a week family pizza evenings or is there a reason to splash an extra €150 on the 16? I struggle enough making and in particular handling 12" bases so can't ever see myself doing 16" pizza's but maybe those here with experience can put me straight? Has anyone bought the 12 and regretted not getting the 16 or vice versa?

Thanks Sidford. I think the 12 will suit my needs best although I do like the idea of the larger 16" and in particular it's "L" shaped burner which I guess gives a more even cook and would future proof the investment as it would allow bigger pizza's and possibly other dishes to be cooked more easily. I've seen some flash fry steak and stuff being cooked in them where the 500c temp gives a different outcome to a normal BBQ or oven.

Might wait until the winter months kick in to see if there's a decent discount available on either the 12 or the 16.

The 16 does give that bit more space but making a 16 inch pizza is not an easy task. It also requires a much bigger peel to slide on and off. The bigger size would be handy for cooking other stuff as you say

If its a discount you're after then for the last few years Ooni have always given 20% off all ovens and accessories on Black Friday so Id expect it to be the same this year.

sounds good. If/when I do upgrade my own Ooni I think I'll go for the 16 but I know I'll just keep making 12 inch pizzas as thats the perfect size for me. It would be nice to have the extra space and I do like they way the cook on three sides and how the gas flames are a lot more dispersed compared to the gas attachement I am using now, that just has two jets of fire that goes over the centre section of the pizza. Matter of fact if I could sell the one I have for 125 quid I could upgrade to the 16 by waiting till Black Friday and then adding 135 quid on to upgrade it, I might even do that.

FYI my friend bought in the Black Friday sale last year and it wasn't delivered until the first week in April this year. Now I get there were major delays with Covid, etc but just thought I'd give the heads up in case any are thinking of it as a Christmas present.

I'm looking to get a Koda 12, is Black Friday on the Ooni website the best place/price to get one?

I don't see that when I go onto the EU website so maybe they were just temporarily testing it or something?

Must be just announcing the sale so

16" Koda ordered for €399.20. Happy days!!

To all who have gone before can anyone recommend a pedestal / workbench outdoor type table to hold a Koda 16"?

I just got a 20 euro wooden slats outdoor table from Ikea which has served me well for 3 years now. Measure between the legs of the 16 Koda as Im not sure if the distances are bigger than 12 inch ovens.

Long term (as in by next summer) I think Im going to buy a used stainless steel catering table, specifically 304 food grade. There are a good few for sale on Donedeal from catering companies . I'll get a 6ft one so that will fit the oven, the gas bottle below it and still leave plenty of space to stretch out and top pizzas right next to the Ooni. I think that will be really handy when having pizza parties rather than going in and out of the house with pizzas.

It'll also be handy to have a long outdoor kitchen bench just for general BBQ, Im always looking for places to put hot stuff down that isnt the dining table and stainless steel is the perfect medium for that. It also shouldnt rust in an outdoor environment. Been meaning to get one for a while now but the pandemic got in the way, definitely going to get it sorted for next summer.

Thanks Muahahaha,

The 16" requires a minimum 60cm X 60cm platform to stand safely on.

I like the look of this stainless steel table which if the middle shelf was removed would hold the gas cylinder in a tidy fashion. It's a bit steep at over €120 delivered.

I'm also tinkering with the idea to install a floating shelf off my garden wall to permanently hold the oven, that would allow me to install it at a better height than most tables / trolley's tend to be.
