Ooni Koda Gas-Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven with Baking Stone

Love cooking outdoors but want a quicker, easier way to great-tasting results? A gas-fired take on Ooni’s world-famous wood-fired pizza ovens, the Ooni Koda is ready to go in seconds – there’s no assembly, no mess and no fuss. And, as you’d expect from Ooni, it turns out amazingly tasty, crisp-based pizzas.

Ready right out of the box, Ooni Koda is good to go in seconds – simply flip open the foldable legs, insert the cordierite stone baking board, and connect to a gas bottle.

Because there’s no chimney and the legs fold neatly away, it’s really easy to take wherever you want – out to the back garden, round to a friend’s barbecue, or to the beach. And it’s so compact that it’s perfect for anyone whose outdoor space is restricted to a small backyard, or even a balcony.

Box contains: gas-fired Ooni Koda pizza oven, cordierite stone baking board, 37mBar gas burner (attached to the oven), match holder, user manual, safety instructions and Essentials Guide including recipes, tips and hints.

There’s no fiddling around with wood pellets with this model. Just link up the integral gas burner to a bottle of propane – it takes standard UK propane gas bottles – and press the one-touch gas piezo ignition. It starts heating up immediately, getting up to a scorching 500°C in just fifteen minutes. The waterfall-effect flame distribution means it heats up evenly, while the built-in flame keeper maximises heat and directs the flame towards food for faster results. The gas regulator gives a constant flame that doesn’t need to be stoked or ‘fed’ to keep it going, and there’s no grate to clean when everything’s cooled down and the guests have gone home.

A simple adjustable dial lets you increase or decrease the flame, giving you control over the heat. Turned up full, it’ll cook delicious, crisp-based pizza in just 60 seconds, and you can turn it down and experiment with a whole range of other food, from flatbreads to chargrilled fish, roast vegetables and seared steaks – all without leaving the party.

The secret to perfect pizza is the cordierite stone baking board, which absorbs and holds the heat, soaking up any moisture in your dough to give you traditionally crisp-crusted pizza in just 60 seconds. Because you’re cooking on gas this oven doesn’t need a door, and the open front is perfect for popping pizzas in and whipping them out, and for keeping an eye on them while they cook. It’s a good idea to have a peel close at hand to get your ready-to-bake and ready-to-eat pizzas in and out quickly, and Ooni have one that’s perfect for the job – find it here.

The foldaway legs stay cool so you can place the oven anywhere without worrying about damaging the top of your outdoor table. And they also help to keep your oven stable on uneven surfaces, so there’s little danger of it wobbling over or coming to grief if you’re using it in the park or on the beach.

Fun, sociable and easy to use, Ooni Pizza Ovens were invented by a passionate outdoor cook, Kristian Tapaninaho, who couldn’t find an affordable wood-fired pizza oven anywhere. It had to be a premium, wood-fired oven that didn’t cost the earth, wasn’t too big and that could get you cooking in a short amount of time. Ooni pizza ovens are portable – the smaller ones can be taken out and about – and if you prefer the convenience of cooking with gas, you can choose between the Ooni Koda or the Ooni Pro, which boasts a huge cooking area and a choice of fuel options to suit your cooking preferences.
