Whether they're designed to be used indoors or outside, a lot of the best
pizza ovens that you can currently buy can only cook a 13-inch pie. That's
great for most situations, especially if you're keen on hosting a party where
everyone can choose their toppings. However, there are times when you need
more space, either for larger pizzas or to bake or roast other foods. Ooni is
filling the void with its latest model, the Koda 2 Max, which is the
company's largest pizza oven so far. The 24-inch, gas-burning unit can bake
pizzas up to 20 inches while still achieving the high-heat cook quality Ooni
ovens are known for.

In addition to being the biggest option in Ooni's lineup, the Koda 2 Max has
several additional features that make it an upgrade over some of the
company's other models. First, it offers dual-zone cooking with independent
controls for both burners. This will allow you to cook two things at
different temperatures simultaneously, or to simply have a hot and cold side
of the oven when needed. To facilitate this, Ooni positioned the two burners
on the sides of the Koda 2 Max rather than having one at the rear of the
oven. The company says its G2 gas technology includes burners with tapered
flames for more efficient heat distribution and more consistent cooking stone
temps.

Another update is the color digital temperature display mounted on the front.
While this isn't the first Ooni oven to show you the temp inside, it is the
first to do so in color and it's the first to send those stats to your phone.
The Koda 2 Max retains the overall look of previous gas-burning Koda
products, including the folding legs for transport. It will also connect to a
propane tank like previous models in order to provide fuss-free cooking where
you don't have to manage a fire while you're making pizza and other dishes.

The Ooni Koda 2 Max will be available in May for $999, making it the most
expensive outdoor-only option in the company's pizza oven range. The all-
electric Volt was the same price at launch, but it currently goes for $899.
If you can do without all of the fancy new features and extra cooking space,
the Koda 16 ($599) and Koda 12 ($399) are hundreds of dollars cheaper, baking
16- and 12-inch pizzas as the names imply.
