I have only used the propane adapter and It's going to make me lazy. wood fired sounds awesome but I'll wait till spring for that.
The Ooni koda is propane only. Mine is the Ooni Karu 16
Food has been excellent ....6 pies done in a week.

LOL wait till you get a blowout. Did you get a wire brush for the stone? If not it's a good idea to keep it clean.

Your pies are looking good bud :blsmoke:

I did get a wire brush but a pusher/ scraper would be better.
Push the crumbs to the back, let the stone reheat for 3 min and launch another pie.
Cleaning the stone... just flip it over and your next cook burns it all off! Neat!!!

That thing is awesome. I've got stones, Baking Steel, wooden and metal peels and shit. But the oven only gets to 550f. Still makes damn good pizzas though. I just need to get off my ass and make some, lol.

A standard oven isn't going to get hot enough. I do the skillet broiler method. You prepare the pizza on a peel and while you're doing that you have a flat cast iron skillet heating up on the stove and the broiler in the oven on high with a rack at the top location. When the skillet is really hot you slide the pizza off the peel and onto the skillet. Then put it under the broiler right away. Doing it this way you can get the skillet twice as hot as you can any pizza stone in an oven that only gets to 500°F. The crust is cooking fast and then the broiler does the top. It only takes a few minutes and it's done.

I've been trying to cook pizza's in the oven for years but could never get the crust to cook right because I never had the heat. Until I get an actual pizza oven this is the only way I'll cook a pizza.

We used to make French bread pizza's, they work in a pinch.

Ya I saw that. That looks good too. I can get the bottom cooked pretty good with the stone or Steel. I heat the oven to 550 with the stone in or Steel. The Steel gets hotter than the stone so it cooks the bottom more. Then turn on the broiler, let it heat up extra for a few minutes and then slide the pizza on it. I keep the door just barely cracked open so the broiler stays on. And it takes about 4 minutes or so if I remember right, lol.

I've tried a bunch of ways, but never the cast iron. I am planning on getting a cast iron pizza pan for sure. I need to figure out a good deep dish recipe.

I don't like to put hot pizzas on pans though to cut. I like cutting on cardboard so the grease and shit doesn't get the bottom soggy after cutting it. I'm a little crazy and save cereal boxes to cut pizzas and cheese bread and shit on, :bigjoint:. Wood works too. Some aren't that greasy than others, but I always load up the cheese.

Used the air fryer for the first time last night. I am no longer an air virgin. It's pretty cool and it seems most frozen foods are coming out with cooking directions using one also. With the way natural gas prices are going not using the stove may be a cost saver.

I really love my air fryer as it has a lot more applications than just frozen food (AKA French fries). In many cases it works better than a microwave to reheat stuff (maybe not as fast but does a better job).

It does a good job on many proteins (chicken, beef, pork and sausages, hot dogs) also works well for veggies, or melting cheese over whatever.

I used it a lot during the hot summer months when turning on the oven is just not a cool idea......also surprised how easy it is to clean up.
