Our verdict
The Koda 16 offers significantly more turning room than a 12-inch oven without moving into the size and weight of the largest second-generation models. Its 18.2kg weight is still substantial, but the 16-inch cooking area makes it an appealing middle ground for regular outdoor hosting.
Capacity
The Ooni Koda 16 accommodates pizzas up to 16 inches. The oven measures 630 × 580 × 370mm, so it needs a generously sized, stable work surface.
That extra room is a genuine advantage. You can make a large centrepiece pizza, but we think the more useful benefit is having space around a standard 12-inch pizza when launching and turning it.
Space and handling
The Ooni Koda 16 weighs 18.2kg. At 630 × 580 × 370mm, it is best given a permanent or semi-permanent position rather than squeezed onto a small table.
Its manageable weight makes occasional repositioning realistic, which is useful if the oven cannot live outside permanently.

Controls
Integrated temperature monitoring is not included.
Turn-dial gas ignition. The controls are deliberately simple, with no phone alerts or cooking logs.
Fuel and heat
The Ooni Koda 16 runs on propane gas and is for outdoors only. Its maximum temperature is 500°C.
Heat comes from l-shaped gas burner. Gas keeps the learning curve short, although it removes live-fire fuel management.
For 16-inch capacity with wood and charcoal as standard, compare it with our Ooni Karu 2 Pro review.
Ownership

Trade-offs
The footprint deserves careful measurement before buying. The gas-only design prioritises convenience over the involvement of a live wood fire.
Space, lifting weight and preferred fuel should settle the decision before smaller features do.
