Ooni accessories worth buying, by model

First, check what came in your box

The most common wasted purchase in this category is a duplicate. Several Ooni ovens and most bundle listings already include a peel, and buying a second one before checking is an easy fifty to ninety dollars gone. What is actually in the box goes through the current listings oven by oven.

Worth being specific about one case: the Karu 2 is sold both bare and as a bundle with its gas burner and a 12 in perforated peel. Those are different purchases with different accessory needs, and the listing title is the only thing that tells them apart.

How we ranked these

Three criteria, and none of them is brand loyalty. We have not used these tools; every claim below is the maker's own published specification, cited on each write-up.

1. Does it fix a problem the oven actually has? A peel sized to the mouth and a glove rated for the temperature both do. A branded cutter does not.
2. Does Ooni publish the fit condition? Ooni is unusually good at this — it states which brush fits which oven size and which covers fit which models, including one awkward exception. A published fit condition is worth more than a guess.
3. Does Ooni win against third-party on a published number? Sometimes yes (gloves, covers), often no (thermometers, turning peels). We say which is which rather than filling the page with one brand.

Peel sizing: match the oven mouth, not the pizza

This is the single most common accessory mistake in the category, and it is the reverse of what people assume. You size a peel to the opening the peel has to pass through, not to the diameter of the pizza you are making. A 14 in head does not go through a 12 in mouth comfortably, and forcing it scrapes the sides and disturbs the pizza.

The 14 in peel is the right answer for every Ooni above 14 in, including the 18 and 20 in ovens. A peel does not need to be as wide as the pizza — you launch from the center of the head and the dough overhangs it. Full sizing logic, including the wooden-peel question, is on choosing a peel.

Top pick · The one peel to own

Ooni 14" Signature Perforated Pizza Peel

Ooni · Accessory

Hard-anodized perforated aluminum on a long walnut handle. The perforations shed the flour that otherwise burns on your stone, and that is the whole argument.

$90.00 · Check on Amazon

#ad · how this site is funded · price as of October 17, 2026

Published specification

Head

14" anodized perforated aluminum

Handle

Long walnut wood

Why perforated

Excess flour falls away and steam escapes before launch

What it does well

• Perforation is the single feature that most reduces the burnt-flour smell and the black speckling on the base of a pizza
• Hard anodizing gives a smoother release surface than bare aluminum, which is the other half of a clean launch
• The handle is long enough to keep a forearm out of a 950 F mouth

What you give up

• A 14 in head does not fit through a 12 in or 13 in oven mouth comfortably — match the peel to the oven, not to the pizza
• Metal peels are poor at holding a raw dough while you top it; a wooden or bamboo peel is better for building on
• This is Ooni's premium peel and it is priced like it — the plain perforated version does the same job for less whenever it is back in stock

Buy it if

Any 14 or 16 in oven, and the peel to buy first.

Skip it if

12 in ovens, and cooks who build the pizza on the peel rather than on the counter.

Pick 2 · 12 in ovens

Ooni 12" Signature Perforated Pizza Peel

Ooni · Accessory

The same perforated aluminum head, sized so it actually passes through a 12 or 13 in oven mouth without scraping the sides.

Head

Fits

What it does well

• Sized to the oven rather than to the pizza, which is the correct way to choose a peel
• Same perforation and anodizing as the 14 in Signature
• Lighter, so it is easier to hold steady at the moment of launch

What you give up

• A 12 in pizza on a 12 in peel leaves no margin for a slightly oversized stretch
• Too small for any 16 in oven
• Still a launching peel, not a building surface

Pick 3 · The highest published rating, with a stated duration

Ooni Pizza Oven Gloves

Ooni · Accessory

Leather outer, aluminum insulation inside, and a rating Ooni states properly: 950 F for up to 15 seconds. The duration is the part almost nobody else publishes, and it is the part that decides whether a rating means anything.

$34.99 · Check on Amazon

Rating

950 F / 500 C for up to 15 seconds

Outer

Leather

Insulation

Internal aluminum layer

Cuff

Long sleeve over wrist and forearm

Certification

Ooni states the second-highest UK heat-resistant certification

What it does well

• Publishes a duration with the temperature. A rating without one describes a fabric, not a hand
• 950 F is the peak temperature of the ovens this site covers, so the rating is matched to the job rather than to a laboratory
• Leather over aluminum insulation is a construction you can inspect — you can see what is protecting you
• The long cuff covers the forearm, which is where the burn happens when you reach across a hot mouth

What you give up

• Leather is not machine washable, and pizza work makes gloves dirty
• Fifteen seconds is a real limit, not a formality — these are for moving things, not for holding them
• The most expensive pair here alongside the Gozney, for a glove you may only use a few times a cook

Buy it if

An Ooni owner, and anyone who wants the rating stated with its duration.

Skip it if

Anyone who wants to put their gloves in the washing machine.

Pick 4 · Ooni owners who want the sizing decided for them

Ooni Pizza Oven Brush and Scraper, Short Handle

Ooni · Accessory

The only brush here whose maker publishes which ovens it fits: Ooni states the Short is for 12 to 16 in ovens and the Long for 16 to 24 in. Bamboo handle, G430 stainless bristles and scraper, two-year warranty.

Fits

Ooni's published guidance: Short for 12 to 16 in ovens; the separate Long is for 16 to 24 in

Overall length

20 in, per the Amazon listing

Bristles

Semi-flexible stainless steel, G430

Scraper

Stainless steel, G430

Handle

Bamboo with a blackened finish, hang hole

Warranty

2 years — 1 year, plus a second on registration

What it does well

• Ooni publishes the oven-size mapping, which nobody else in this category does — you are not guessing whether it reaches the back corners
• A two-year warranty on a cleaning tool is unusual, and the bamboo handle is the nicest object here
• The hang hole fits an Ooni table hook, so it lives next to the oven rather than in a drawer

What you give up

• Stainless bristles are harder than the brass ones on the cheaper brushes here. Ooni calls them semi-flexible, but stainless is the more aggressive material against a cordierite surface
• It is the most expensive brush on this page by a wide margin, for a job a cheaper tool does
• The Long version is the one that fits 16 to 24 in ovens, and it was out of stock at Amazon when we checked on September 19, 2026 — so Koda 2 Max and Arc XL owners cannot simply buy the right size here

Buy it if

An owner of a 12 to 16 in Ooni who wants the brand's own tool and the sizing question answered.

Skip it if

Anyone with a deeper oven, or anyone unwilling to pay a brand premium for a brush.

Ooni Karu 16 and Karu 2 Pro Cover

Ooni's strongest published claim on any cover here: 100 percent waterproof, with an elasticated edge and adjustable straps that pull in around the legs rather than draping over them.

Weight

Note

Ooni says it may arrive in Karu 16 packaging and is still the Karu 2 Pro cover

Fitted dimensions

Not published

What it does well

• 100 percent waterproof is the strongest claim any maker makes here, and it is Ooni's own wording rather than a listing's
• Straps that pull in around the legs are what stop a tall oven's cover becoming a sail
• Covers two ovens, the Karu 16 and the Karu 2 Pro, which is unusual in a category sold one model at a time
• At 0.5 lb it packs down small enough to travel with the oven

What you give up

• The boxed dimensions Ooni publishes are the folded cover in its packaging, not the fitted size — they tell you nothing about whether it clears a stand
• "Aluminum, polyester" is a materials list, not a construction spec: no denier, no coating, no fabric weight
• The Karu 16 packaging note means the box may not say the model you bought, which is unsettling at the door even when it is correct
• A wood-burning oven's chimney is the part a cover has to accommodate; Ooni does not publish how this one handles it

Buy it if

Pick 6 · The Ooni Koda 2 Max

Ooni Koda 2 Max Protective Pizza Oven Cover

Ooni · Accessory

The only cover here that publishes a fabric denier and solves the hose problem at the same time: a rear pouch swallows the regulator and hose, which is the part that otherwise sits on the ground getting wet.

Rear pouch for the hose and regulator, or for the cover itself while cooking

Care

Hand wash only; air dry

Fitted dimensions

Not published

What it does well

• Publishes a denier. Ooni states 600D, which is more than most of this category says about its fabric at any price
• The rear pouch takes the regulator and hose, so the one component that genuinely does not want to sit in a puddle has somewhere to go
• The same pouch stores the cover while the oven is lit, which is the difference between using a cover and leaving it in the garage
• Waterproof rather than water repellent — a stronger claim than Gozney makes for the Arc covers

What you give up

• The most expensive cover on this page by a wide margin, for an oven that is already the most expensive here
• Publishes no fitted dimensions, so there is no way to check it against a stand or an enclosure before buying
• Hand wash only, and a cover that lives outdoors gets dirty
• Fits exactly one oven. Ooni does not list it as compatible with the Koda 2 or the Koda 2 Pro

Buy it if

Anyone who owns a Koda 2 Max and leaves it outside.

Skip it if

Any other oven, including the smaller Koda 2 models.

Where these numbers came from

• Ooni — Cover for Ooni Koda 2 Max product page: 600D waterproof polyester, rip-resistant and UV-stable, rear storage pouch for hose and regulator, drawstring toggle, hand wash only
• Amazon listing — Ooni Koda 2 Max protective pizza oven cover

Covers: the one Ooni accessory with real fit traps

Covers are cut per oven and the model names are close enough to cause mistakes. Ooni publishes the fit lists, and two of them carry conditions worth reading twice.

One rule applies to all of them regardless of brand: fit the cover only when the oven is completely cold. A cover over warm metal traps moisture against it, which is precisely the failure the cover was bought to prevent. More on that in covers and protection.

Brushes: Ooni is the only maker that publishes the fit

A small thing that matters more than it sounds. Ooni states that the Short brush is for 12 to 16 in ovens and the Long for 16 to 24 in. Nobody else in the brush market publishes which oven their tool suits, which is why the generic 21 in and 41 in brushes are a guess until they arrive.

If your Ooni is 16 in you are at the boundary and either works. Below 16 in, the Short is the one. The wider market — including the cheaper brushes that do the same job — is on brushes and scrapers.

What Ooni does not sell, or does not win

A page listing only one brand's accessories would be dishonest, because two of the four purchases that actually matter are better bought elsewhere.

• An infrared thermometer. The single most useful tool in this category, and the specification is the whole purchase: it must read past 1,000 F. The common ones stop at 716 or 750 F because they were built for griddles, and they will simply refuse to display a pizza stone. See the thermometer roundup.
• A turning peel, if your oven has a single burner — which covers most of the Koda line. A small round head pivots the pizza in place instead of lifting it off the stone. The turning technique explains why that distinction matters.
• A stand or table, if your oven is over about 40 lb and currently living on patio furniture. That rules in the Koda 16 at 40.1 lb and everything above it. See tables and stands.
• A replacement or thicker stone, if yours cracked. Stones and steels covers which material belongs in a 950 F chamber, and it is not the one most people expect.

Replacement stones are not an Ooni purchase

Worth knowing before you go looking: Ooni does not sell a standalone replacement baking stone through this channel. A cracked stone is a third-party purchase, and the sizing is straightforward because you are matching a shape rather than a brand - a 13.3 in round stone for the Karu line, a 16 in round or square for a Koda 16.

What matters far more than the badge is the material. Cordierite, not steel. Steel conducts heat into dough several times faster than stone, which is exactly what you want in a 550 F domestic oven and exactly what scorches a base in a 950 F chamber before the top has cooked. Stones and steels sets out why, and thickness is the other half of it - a thicker floor is the single upgrade that most changes how the fourth pizza turns out.

Cracking is usually thermal shock rather than a defect: a cold stone brought to full heat too quickly, or a frozen pizza dropped onto a 900 F floor. Neither is covered by a warranty on any brand here, and both are avoidable.

The order to buy them in

If the budget arrives in stages rather than all at once, this is the sequence that fixes the most per dollar. It is the same order on any brand - only the fitment changes.

1. The correctly sized perforated peel, if the oven did not come with one. Nothing else matters if the pizza will not leave the peel.
2. Gloves with a published duration. The cheapest real safety improvement here, and the one place a brand genuinely wins on paper.
3. A cover, if the oven lives outdoors - and fitted only once the oven is stone cold.
4. An infrared thermometer reading past 1,000 F. Third-party, and the first purchase that changes the pizza rather than protecting the oven or your hands.
5. A turning peel, on any single-burner oven. Most of the Koda line qualifies.
6. A brush with a scraper, once burnt semolina starts making the next pizza taste bitter.

Everything after that is genuinely optional, and the four accessories that matter makes the same argument brand-agnostically for anyone who does not own an Ooni.

The short version, by oven

Koda 12, Karu 12, Karu 2 or Volt 2: the 12 in perforated peel, the gloves, the Short brush, and the matching cover if it lives outside — checking the gas-burner exception on the Karu 2 carry cover first.

Koda 2, Koda 16 or Karu 2 Pro: the 14 in perforated peel, the gloves, a cover, and a turning peel — these are single-burner ovens where one edge of the pizza faces the flame for the whole bake.

Koda 2 Pro or Koda 2 Max: the 14 in perforated peel, the gloves, and the model-specific cover. Both are dual-burner ovens, so a turning peel is less essential, and at 66 lb and 95 lb respectively a rated stand stops being optional.

If you are deciding between Ooni models rather than accessorizing one you own, which Ooni to buy sorts the lineup, and Ooni against Gozney covers what each brand is actually betting on. Gozney owners have their own accessory list, and it is a shorter one.
