Can I use my Ooni Pro 16 in the cold?

  • Yes - The Ooni Pro 16 can still be used in the cold, however, in colder climates and times of the year, the baking stone will take longer to heat up.
  • Leaving ovens uncovered in cold/wet periods - can take longer to pre-heat.

We don’t suggest using butane in cold weather as butane has a low freezing point. If using your oven with the gas burner in cold weather, use propane.

Can I use my Ooni Pro 16 in rain or snow? 

Yes - rain or snow won’t affect the way your Ooni Pro 16 performs.

  • If leaving your Ooni Pro 16 outside in wet weather, make sure you store it under a carry cover.

  • Make sure you also place the chimney cap on your chimney to prevent rain or snow from entering your oven.

Can I use my Ooni Pro 16 in windy conditions?

  • We don’t advise using your Ooni Pro 16 in overly windy conditions.
  • If wind is unavoidable, position your oven so that wind flows against the back of the oven (always avoid wind blowing directly into the front of your oven).

Can I use my Ooni Pro 16 at high altitudes?

  • High altitudes may affect your oven’s performance. You may notice lower gas pressure and weaker flames. If so, allow your oven a little bit longer to preheat.
  • Due to this, the oven may not get to the advertised temperatures.
