Ooni Koda 2 Max Outdoor Pizza Oven
Product Description
The Koda 2 Max is Ooni's largest oven, offering a 24" cooking surface that accommodates everything from oversized New York-style pies to two or three smaller pizzas at once. Dual independently controlled burners create true dual-zone heating, allowing one side of the oven to run at high temperature for fast pizza cooking. In contrast, the opposite side holds a lower, steadier heat for deep-dish baking, roasting, or finishing proteins.
Its tapered burner design distributes heat evenly across the stone to reduce temperature variance and help maintain consistent results throughout long cooking sessions. For outdoor cooks who value precision, the integrated Ooni Connect digital temperature hub provides real-time stone and ambient readings and supports food probes for internal monitoring. The system pairs with the Ooni app by Bluetooth for logging, alerts, and session tracking.
In practice, the large stone surface allows you to stage food strategically. One side can serve as a recovery zone after launching pizzas, while the other remains ready for continuous service. The broad cook deck also allows side-by-side cooking of pizza and vegetables, seafood, flatbreads, or other accompaniments when hosting larger gatherings.

Q3. Does the oven include the baking stone?
A3. Yes. The unit includes the 24" cordierite stone along with a digital hub and food probes.
Q4. What materials are used in the oven construction?

Practical Note
For consistent results during extended cooking sessions, preheat both zones fully, then shift pizzas between sides as needed for even stone recovery. This approach helps maintain consistent stone temperature when serving larger groups.
