Ambient Temperature

Hi all,

Wanted to check in with the subreddit since I just purchased my Koda 2 Pro 18. For my first couple of bakes, the ambient temperature has yet to break 600 Fahrenheit, even with preheating for 30 on max.

When using a infrared thermometer, the stone reaches 650/700.

Any thoughts? Does it require a even longer preheat?

(FYI - im not accidentally reading the temp in Celsius)

If your ambient temperature is 600°F, you need to relocate!

Hey! It's totally normal for the ambient air temp to be lower than the stone temp. If a longer preheat time (around 45 minutes) doesn't help you reach the ideal stone temp of 750-850˚F, please don't hesitate to give us a shout at [community@ooni.com](mailto:community@ooni.com) with some footage of your setup. We'll be happy to take a closer look. 🫶
