Hi all,
First real post! I'm interested in getting into the pizza making hobby. In the past, I had romantically considered having a custom pizza oven built off my deck, but I've gotten more realistic lately. I'm looking for something that will produce really good pizzas at a reasonable price (@$500), and that is super easy to use. I know myself, and although I bbq with charcoal (weber performer - to me the best bang for buck way, easiest way to get into charcoaling), I know that I won't use the pizza oven much if I have to do a lot of set up work.
That being said, I started by seeing the kettlepizza insert for webers. I figured it would be reasonably easy to set up and use since I have a performer, the price was right, and the pizzas looked good, but then I realized that there would be no way to turn the heat off. I'd have to let the coals burn down completely since there's no easy way to shut of the oxygen supply.
Next I started looking at the propane fueled portables. Of them all, the Ooni Koda 16 seemed like the easiest to use (set up, size of pizza possible, size of opening to see in and turn pizza, speed of pizza making with the burners on 2 sides, closest to best temps possible) option.
Then I read an opinion that made me doubt myself. They said "this product is pushed heavily by numerous influensters, which IMO makes it suspicious, since a good product doesn't need so much paid advertising."
So I was just wondering what you all thought of the Koda 16, and whether there might be a better option given my parameters.
Thanks!
