A 320 to 950°F operating range and an 18-inch-plus cooking surface are what Ooni specifies.
Compared with the first-generation Koda 16, the G2 tapered burner is designed to cut stone-temperature variation and bring the stone back up faster.
Ambient and food-probe readings appear on the front Ooni Connect hub, which can also send alerts to the Ooni app.
This second-generation gas oven has plenty of room, a tapered burner and a connected temperature hub, with enough control to handle quick and slower pizza styles alike.

The catch
Plan on a sturdy outdoor table and far more storage space than a 12-inch portable oven takes, because this 18-inch body is large.
Six presets and PID control come with this large 850°F electric oven, and once it has cooled you can flip it up for storage to shrink its counter footprint.
Best forA 14-inch indoor oven packed with features that can be stored upright
Key facts
PID temperature control governs the 1,800W oven across 220 to 850°F.
Manual, Wood Fired, Frozen, New York, Thin and Crispy, and Deep Dish make up the six programs.
The catch
The 31-pound oven only turns compact after cooling and folding upright, so you still need a deep, clear counter for cooking.
