I have learned a lot watching you. I have the Koda 16. I actually bought it months ago. I own a resort and a restaurant associated with that resort. I sent it to the resort and they weren't able to get consistent results. I have now brought the oven to my home back to Panama City Panama and I have 2 separate bakes and about a dozen pizzas. After watching you I have ordered a temperature gauge but here's what I have learned. It takes 30 minutes to truly heat the oven up and I was trying to do it in 15. I no longer heated up on high and turn it down because I'm finding that the bottom will burn. I noticed you address this by just waiting. What is working best for me is heating up 30 minutes at a medium temperature and I have no idea what that is but after I get my gauge I will tell you. Both the bottom in the top are cooking well now and my cook time is between 90 seconds and two minutes. When I tried it so hot that I could actually do it in 60 seconds it was too much of a crapshoot to get crust properly cooked for me. We have lots of High temperature ovens in Panama I actually don't order this kind of pizza from them because I don't like undercooked crust. Thank you for your videos I have learned a lot and of all the videos out there you've done the best job on the Koda 16

Sonny, thank you for the message Sir. I understand the situation you describe, bey heating it on full flame you are getting the temperature closer to 500 degrees Celsius which scorches the bottom of the pizza and burns the edges easier. I recommend 430 degrees Celsius in the centre of the stone. And yes you can do that by either 20 minutes on full flame then allowing to cool on low flame for a few minutes or heating on medium flame for longer. It really just takes practice, repetition and soon you get the feel for it. And absolutely the IR thermometer makes a huge difference at the start to understand the different effects on the pizza at different temperatures. I’m glad you found my videos helpful, if there are any other areas you would like me to cover let me know. I saw the drone videos on your channel and subscribed, Panama looks beautiful. Cheers!

Great demo, i learned more from your video than any other one I have seen so far and I've seen a lot of videos. I just converted my Big Horn 16 to propane yesterday and have yet to make a pizza with gas. I was concerned about leaving the door off, but almost everything I have been reading, the door should stay off. Is that for safety only or is it generally the way you cook a pizza in a propane pizza oven? When I was using wood pellets the door was almost always kept closed to retain the heat and it was a real challenge to keep the oven lit, that's why I'm going to try this now. Thanks again for the video.

Nice video. One can learn a lot from this. Without being too critical, most of the pizzas were undercooked on the bottom. A correctly cooked pizza bottom should also have some leopard spotting towards the center. Since we didn't see any of the pizzas cut into slices, we could not really appreciate the "doneness" of the center dough. If the dough just flops downwards then it is not cooked enough. I noticed that many of the later pizzas were launched when the center stone temperature was reading in the high 300's. You should let the stone absorb more oven heat between pizzas. I also recommend sweeping the burnt flour off the stone is possible prior to launching the next pizza. The burnt flour on the stone will impart a bitter taste to the pizza crust. I like to error in getting the stone a little too hot, for I can always put the pizza on my turning peel and isolate the bottom of the pizza crust from burning on the stone. Having trained on a wood fired brick oven, one doesn't have the option of raising and lowering the flame like what you can do on a propane portable oven. One learns about pizza placement over a much larger area of stone and to dome the pizza when you need to stop the bottom from over cooking and continue cooking the top of the crust. Also no commercial oven has flame coming from both the rear and side like the Ooni's L shaped burner. Ooni did this as a compromise since the back burner (as in the Koda 12) was not hot enough. Most professional oven including wood and gas fired have heat from only one side. It all a learning curve for you specific oven. This changes when you go to the Ooni Pro or Karu 16 which is my favorite. You will get a single source flame also from the Gozney Roccbox. Each oven will have it's own cooking characteristics and delay between pizza launches. You will find the thicker stone of the Roccbox more retentive between sequential pizzas. The key is to have fun...which it looks like you are doing. You will one day get a more balanced cooked crust....keep moving forward and thanks for sharing.

Fantastic video, and even better to know I'm not alone in my pizza-making-trials. In fact watching this it's like you were in my head! I think it's fair to say that having switched to the Koda 16 from the Gozney Roccbox, I'm struggling with this particular oven; I thought a limitation of the Roccbox is the single-spot flame at the back meant that you had to turn the pizza a lot to cook it evenly, so in my head the L shaped flame of the Koda was the perfect solution. Unfortunately I'm now not sure if I was right. In concept it should work, but if there is any imbalance between the heat of the stone and the flame (or in other words if you don't hit the sweet spot of cooking both the pizza base and top/crust evenly) the bigger flame also means that you burn MORE of the top/crust at any one time than you would with the Roccbox, while you wait for the base to cook. So far I've had really disappointing results, with lots of charred tops and uncooked bases - it's all been enough to make me wonder if this oven is for me after all. This video has encouraged me to try again, so fingers crossed!

However even with the flame as low as it can go, and with my pizza all the way to the front right (what you refer to as position C) the flame still burns the outside of the crust (at the highest point of the peaks and on the outside) in less time than the base - and the top - of the pizza cook properly. It has occurred to me that the flame on this particular oven may just be too strong? I'm referring to my specific oven itself rather than the Koda 16 in general, although I do wonder if the L shaped flame is actually more of an obstacle to overcome rather than a solution as I thought it was at first. I know with the Gozney Roccbox that some are capable of producing a bigger flame than others out of the box, and it just seems to be 'one of those things' whether you get one like that or not...

Another great video with excellent tips. But I do do disagree with one point. At 3:09 you say that if the stone is not as high as it should be, one can make up for this by putting the pizza closer to the flames. One should actually do the opposite. By putting the pizza farther from the flames in order to keep the pizza in the oven longer without singeing the crust. The same result can be had by turning the flame down. Of course turn the flame back up after you remove the pizza to preheat the stone prior to the next pizza. It is all a learning by observation for each oven model, and fuel. The only other thing that I can comment on is that your fresh basil appeared burned, thus bitter with your cooks. One can add the basil after the pizza is removed from the oven for a nice green ornament. If you want to cook the basil, put it under the tomato sauce. These tips may not be for all, but it works for me. Thanks and looking forward to more videos.

I bought a heat shield to prevent that the flames are giving the heat to the sides. Now the heat goes only Up not to the sides, but sometimes this is still too Hot. The dough on the Pizza sides are burnt, the middle of the Pizza bottem isnt cooked through and the cheese isnt melted. To lower the flames Event more would be good, but thats not possible with this oven.

Hi, nice video! I am not sure though if your gas adjustment is perfect. Propane flames should be actually blue (mabye with some slight yellow tips at the top) - this is the most efficient and hot flame's gas/air mix. If it is too yellow or completely yellow (as it looks in your video, not sure if the camera films it correctly), it means the gas/air mix has too little air (oxygen), so the propane doesn't burn perfectly when leaving the pipe holes. Adjustment (slightly opening/closing the air intake) is very easy, there are a couple of videos on youtube. As always, industrial manufacturers tend to choose and set conservative general adjustments with their products (not too much air) but depending on your local situation, especially your location's height above sea level, will require significantly more air intake. Maybe this would be something to consider for your setup? Cheers

You are absolutely correct if you are referring to a burner, like on a turkey fryer. A blue flame with give you the hottest temperature. That is known as an oxidizing flame. But in the case of a pizza oven you want a carbonizing yellow flame. Let me explain why. The oven works by 3 types of heat. One is the radiant heat from the stone itself. The oven heats the stone up appropriately. Convection heat is the air temperature of the oven air. This is how a home electric or gas oven operates. The third heat source is directly from the flames. This is radiant heat and is mainly infra-red heat. To increase the radiant heat, one wants a more yellow flame which emits more of the infra-red spectrum so the yellow carbonizing flame is perfect. If you look inside of a wood fire oven, you will see that the fire is mainly in the infra-red spectrum. These portable ovens are just trying to copy a larger wood-fire oven using propane. Commercial gas pizza ovens also set the fuel-air mixture to get a yellow flame.

Thank you so much for the videos . I dont have a turning peel yet.Thought it wasn't necessary but watching this video i understood that is a must. My question is whats your routine between each lunch with the leftovers. I try to wipe the stone with ooni brush as much as i can .I did not understand what are you doing.You take the stone out and clean it? Isn't the stone so hot 🔥🔥? Appreciate the help and keep up the videos they are very helpful.

Nick, thanks for dropping by the channel again :) I do brush excess flour off the stone between pizzas if needed but it doesn’t happen much as I don’t have much flour on my pizza or peel. My pizzas tend not to leave much mess these days so it’s generally clean between launches. I wouldn’t imagine moving the stone during a cook, way too hot. I hope that helps. Cheers!

Is there any way to tell when the center is done? Probably only if you know a lot about pizza? We tried this for the first time last weekend with Trader Joe’s refrigerated crust and no matter how thin we tried to get the crust, it was always doughy in the middle and burned around the outside (I LOVE a good char, but it went beyond that). So.. I guess that means our stone was too cold and flames too high? Probably more problems than that b/c I also didn’t realize that the dough shouldn’t be cold - I obviously have a lot to learn. We will try again this next weekend!

Yes, very simple. Once it’s cooled just give it a good scrub with water and washing liquid, use a wooden spatula for the tough bits. Then the important thing is to flip the stone for the next cook so the heat gets rid of the last pieces of residue. It will never be 100% perfect after the first cook but that’s fine and normal. Cheers 🤣

Hello. Thanks for the great video. Whats the best tip to keep flour away from dough ? Every time I use some flour on the peel so it doesnt stick , the flour gets burned and the bottom of my pizza will have burned spots due to flour going in with pizza . Its really annoying. Thats the trick ?

Hello, thanks for the kind feedback. I think there are three major points here that are my personal observations; 1. Use tipo00 flour as it’s finer compared to semolina flour which burns more. 2. Use a light dusting of flour on both the dough and peel. It shouldn’t be caked on. Just enough to let it slide at launch. 3. Make sure you don’t have your stone too hot - I launch at 430C/ 809F. And if I see a build up of flour on the stone I have a long metal scraper to get the worst out if I need to. I hope that helps!

Hi Dana, thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. No corn meal or semolina flour, I find it coagulates on the stone and burns. I just use tipo 00 flour on the launch peel. Works every time so long as there is no wet dough exposed - I fix that by covering with Tipo 00 also. I hope that helps.

Thanks for the video. However, I think that your cooking procedure is all wrong 1) your cooking takes waaay to long, the inside will be too dry. You need a way higher temperature 2) the heat is way tool low and you need too much time between each pizza to reheat the base The Ooni is a fantastic oven; I love it; however, it is not a full-fledged/sized oven, and you need to compensate for that. The proper procedure, in my opinion, is conceptually the opposite one: - Temperature in the bottom left corner must be ~900F, the higher the better - Full temp, there is no middle position, both while heating and cooking - you cook only in the bottom/left corner, no center, no move in/out of the pizza - you rotate the pizza very often, you cannot leave the pizza in the same position as you do, 10 seconds and you turn it, 15 seconds tops - you rotate the pizza 180 degrees the first time - the pizza cooks in about 50/70 seconds (I never measured it though, just a feeling) At the very beginning, I started doing like you, but the pizza was not right; the inside was cooked too much vs the outside. The correct pizza must be soft inside while very slightly crusty outside but still soft anyway. Your one will get too dry on the inside for a Neapolitan pizza (You cook the pizza slightly too much, the outside color is too dark)
