A great Oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only issue, when starting, you have to reduce the flame on the first side you light, otherwise the second side doesn't receive enough gas to ignite.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does take longer to heat up than the Koda 16 that this replaces, but it seems to have more even heat distribution. It did reach 850F after about 1/2 hour. Once temperature was reach turned flame to low and launched pie. Rotated it twice, the crust achieved a leopard print after about 1.5 minutes. Turned flame back up and finished top. Great pizza and easier then in the Koda 16.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having used my friend’s Koda 16 in the past, I was nervous about the amount of heat from the flame and stone. On those ovens, I was having to drop the flame right after launching. I’m finding that the Max needs no last minute heat adjustment. The bottom and toppings cook perfectly. I am greatly relieved. I’ve also cooked some salmon fillets to perfection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ever since I got my Koda 16 several years ago I have been wanting a bit larger of a cooking space. The Koda 2 Max delivers. I really enjoy the extra space as well as the dual temp controls. Great oven.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The electronics, digital temperature hub, has malfunctioned from day one. Haven't been able to get support either (have to schedule a real person or accept canned responses). Rather disappointing. Cooking pizza I usually burn it and raw in middle. Mostly on me, learning curve and all.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit shipped did not auto light in one side and was defective. It was a lot of back and forth instead of just replacing it.
