Ooni Koda 16 Outdoor Gas Pizza Oven Bundle

What size pizzas can I cook in the Koda 16?

The 16-inch cooking surface accommodates pizzas up to 16 inches in diameter. The 41cm x 41cm cordierite stone provides ample space for large family pizzas and you can also cook multiple smaller pizzas simultaneously. The extra room makes it easier to manoeuvre your pizza peel and turn pizzas without hitting the oven walls.

How long does it take to cook a pizza?

Once the oven reaches 500°C, pizzas cook in approximately 60 seconds. Neapolitan-style pizzas with thin crusts cook fastest, whilst thicker bases may take 90-120 seconds. The L-shaped flame technology provides even heat distribution, so you'll typically only need to turn your pizza once during cooking for optimal results.

What type of gas does the Koda 16 use?

The Koda 16 uses propane gas and comes with a 37mbar regulator and hose that connects to standard propane tanks. The regulator is specifically designed for UK/European propane tanks. You'll need to purchase a propane tank separately and most hardware stores and garden centres stock compatible tanks.

Can I cook other foods besides pizza?

Yes, the Koda 16 is highly versatile for outdoor cooking. You can roast meats, bake bread, grill vegetables, sear steaks and even bake desserts. The high temperature and stone cooking surface create excellent results for any food that benefits from intense, even heat. Many users cook entire meals using cast iron pans or baking dishes.

How do I clean and maintain the pizza stone?

The cordierite stone is self-cleaning - simply run the oven at high temperature for 10-15 minutes after cooking to burn off any food residue. Never use soap or detergents on the stone as it's porous and will absorb chemicals. For stubborn spots, use the included oven brush or a plastic scraper when the stone is completely cool.

Is the oven weatherproof for outdoor storage?

Whilst the Koda 16 is built for outdoor use, it should be protected from rain and moisture when not in use. The bundle includes a weather-resistant cover that protects against rain, UV rays and debris. Store the oven in a dry location or use the cover consistently to prevent rust and extend the product's lifespan.

What's included in this bundle compared to buying the oven alone?

This bundle includes the Koda 16 oven, weather cover, 14-inch pizza peel, 14-inch bamboo peel and oven brush. Buying these items separately would cost significantly more. The dual peels are essential - use the bamboo peel for launching pizzas and the metal peel for turning and retrieving them from the oven.

How much space do I need for safe operation?

Allow at least 1 metre clearance on all sides of the oven, with 2 metres clearance above for proper ventilation. The oven must be placed on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Never use the oven indoors, in enclosed spaces, or under covered areas like gazebos or conservatories due to carbon monoxide risks.
