Are gas or wood-fired pizza ovens better for beginners?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, gas models like the Ooni Koda line are consistently described as the easiest entry point: set-and-forget temperature control, fast heat-up, and no fire management. Specialist subreddit consensus notes that at the high temperatures these ovens run, pizzas cook so fast that wood imparts little extra flavor, so many owners say gas is the more practical choice unless you specifically enjoy flame tending. Multi-fuel ovens give you both options if you want to experiment later.
