While we’ve featured some of Ooni’s outdoor pizza ovens in the past, none yet have approached the absolutely massive size of their latest creation, the Koda 2 Max.

With a whopping 24″ cooking area and two independently controlled gas burners that heat up a pair of 0.8″ cordierite pizza stones (their thickest yet), this beast is the one you’ll turn to whenever demand for your homemade pizzas becomes too much for any other oven to handle.

Unlike other Ooni models, the Koda 2 Max isn’t designed to be portable or used indoors; rather, it’s intended more as a permanent fixture of your backyard.

With it, you can cook a single 20″ New York-style pizza or a pair of 10–12″ Neopolitan-style pies side-by-side, allowing you to quickly and easily feed the whole family — and probably the rest of the neighborhood while you’re at it.

Thanks to those dual cooking zones, you still have the ability to cook just one small pizza if that’s all you need right then, or you can work with two completely different styles of pizza at once, no problem. You can even cook non-pizza dishes like steaks, veggies, small skillet dishes, party dips…the list goes on.

What’s more, mounted on the front is a Digital Temperature Hub that provides instant heat readings from different places in the oven and sends them to your phone so you can stay on top of things even after stepping away. Included with the hub are two food temperature probes for use with roasted meats, which is convenient.

The Koda 2 Max is $999 at Ooni’s site and available in either propane (tank) or natural gas (gas line) versions.
