Ooni Pro is so much better! My friend had a Roccbox and it struggles to heat up with wood. He has to use very small pieces because the burner is tiny.
I saw a video of the Ooni inventor cooking with real wood in the snow and it heated in 20 minutes. That’s when I bought mine and I have been using it every week ever since.
