Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven or Ooni Volt 2?

Two electric ovens for pizzas up to 12 inches (30 cm), both running off an ordinary socket. That is where the likeness ends: they are made for a different place and a different use.

The Ooni Volt 2 may be used indoors and outdoors according to Ooni, and adjusts from 20 to 450 °C. Ooni gives a heat-up time of about 12 minutes. It weighs 17.6 kilos and, at 26.3 cm, is the lower of the two. If you have no garden or balcony, the Volt 2 is the only option of these two.

The Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven is an outdoor oven with eight functions, including pizza, smoking, roasting and dehydrating. A drawer of wood pellets adds smoke flavour to whatever is in the oven. Ninja states 370 °C as its maximum and gives no heat-up time. It weighs 14.6 kilos and draws 2400 W.

Pick the Volt 2 if you want to bake indoors, or if you want the hotter of the two: 450 °C against 370 °C. Pick the Ninja if it can live outside, you also want to smoke or roast with it, and pizza is only one of the things you will use it for. Make sure there is a socket where it will stand.
