A few years ago when the <\/span>Ooni 3 (Uuni 3)<\/a> came out, it quickly became one of our favorite pizza ovens and easily made it onto our list of the <\/span>best outdoor ovens<\/a>. Since then there\u2019s been a lot of development in the small, consumer pizza oven space. Ooni rebranded from Uuni for clarity on the pronunciation of their name, they also released the premium <\/span>Ooni Pro<\/a>, <\/span>ROCCBOX<\/a> released their first consumer model (which is brilliant) and then there were many smaller models that didn\u2019t quite make the impact of the above mentioned. With the speedy rise in competition, Ooni have released a new, gas only powered model that is aiming to be the \u2018perfect outdoor oven\u2019. In our Ooni Koda review we\u2019ll see if it\u2019s turned out as well as Ooni had hoped.<\/span><\/p>\n Check the <\/span>latest price<\/span><\/a> on Amazon<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The first major thing to note is that the Ooni Koda doesn\u2019t run on wood of any kind, unlike all other previous Ooni models. This is a gas only oven. Being only powered by gas means that the complications of fitting both burners into the design has been removed and therefore the Ooni Koda has a much sleeker design and the ability to be hooked up to any gas power supply. It also includes a heat control dial for effortless cooking and ultimate control. Note: it does not come with a gas tank, you will need to supply one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n One of the big features that Ooni are pushing for the Koda is their built-in, patented flame keeper device that is said to carry rolling flames down onto your food. This is to help speed up the cook and give a flame-cooked flavour.<\/span><\/p>\n Like with all Ooni ovens, they are designed well enough to heat up in just a few minutes. It\u2019s the same with the Ooni Koda. This has an insulated steel shell and stone baking board which gives it optimum heat retention and is ready to start cooking within 15 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ooni are pushing the ease of use and convenience with the Koda. Firing up the Ooni Koda is as simple as turning a dial, no managing wood. Also cooking with gas means minimal smoke and soot for fuss-free maintenance and no chance of the inevitable soot flake falling into your pizza as you\u2019d get with wood.<\/span><\/p>\n Building on the ease of use, Ooni have designed the Koda to make sure that it\u2019s the most portable pizza oven on the market. At just 20.4lb (9.25kg) and at such a small size the Koda is very easy to take with you wherever you need it.<\/span><\/p>\n Ooni have also taken into account the safety aspect of using gas. There is a built-in Flame Safety Device (FSD) that will automatically cut off the gas supply to Ooni Koda if the flame is extinguished while the gas supply is on.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n One of the most striking aspects of the Koda is that it looks fantastic. This is a far cry from other Ooni models that seem to have had their looks sacrificed for practicality. This time Ooni have really stepped it up and have managed to design a great looking oven that also keeps the practicality that we\u2019ve been used to.<\/span><\/p>\n Like many other pizza ovens, the Koda is created using high quality materials to maintain the extreme conditions that it\u2019ll be put under. The Koda is made from powder-coated, cold-rolled carbon steel shell, with a high-quality cordierite stone baking board inside. This not only helps with keeping the oven in good condition for prolonged amounts of time, but it also ensures that the inside of the oven itself is as insulated and optimised for cooking pizzas at high temperatures as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n With any device that has been built with ease of use in mind, you\u2019d expect this category to be where it shines. With the Ooni Koda this is exactly right. From the very first time you open the box all you have to do is set it in a position you like, attach a gas supply to the regulator (which admittedly can be a little finicky sometimes) and then turn the heat control and you\u2019re away. It\u2019s literally as simple as that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The same is true for transporting the Koda. As it\u2019s a single, small device that doesn\u2019t have any other parts (except the gas supply) all you have to do is pick it up and put it in your trunk. It\u2019s light and compact enough to fit in virtually any car so you shouldn\u2019t have any trouble taking it to the beach, your best friends pizza party or anywhere else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Actually cooking a pizza on the Koda is about as easy as you could make it. The baking stone is very good, it maintains its heat well and provides a nice slippery surface (with a bit of flour) so you\u2019ll rarely get any sticking dough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Koda doesn\u2019t come with a peel or a thermometer so we\u2019d highly recommend picking up a quality pizza peel (we\u2019ve recommended a few <\/span>here<\/a>) and a <\/span>laser thermometer<\/a>. This will ensure that you get the perfect pizza each time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s Included With the ROCCBOX<\/b><\/h2>\n
