About the Ooni Koda 16
The Koda 16 is the Koda 12 scaled up to a full 16 inch stone, so it fits a whole New York pie or a larger Neapolitan with room to turn. At about 40 lb it is a two-hand carry rather than a grab-and-go, and it reaches the same 950F ceiling in around 20 minutes.
Its wide L-shaped burner heats the stone more evenly than the smaller Koda, though the corners still run cooler than the center. It comes in propane and natural-gas versions, so if you have a gas line you can skip refilling tanks. This is the gas oven for a cook who often feeds four or more.

Common questions
Is the Ooni Koda 16 worth it over the Koda 12?
Yes if you cook for four or more or want to make full 16 inch pizzas, because the larger stone gives you room to turn a pizza and fits a New York pie. If you mostly cook one or two personal Neapolitans, the lighter, cheaper Koda 12 is enough.
Can the Ooni Koda 16 run on natural gas?
Yes. It is sold in both propane and natural-gas versions, so with a gas line you can leave the tank behind. Buy the version that matches your fuel; conversion kits exist but the correct model is simpler.
