[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a complete novice at using an outdoor pizza oven. My first attempt at using my Karu 12G was pretty much a disaster. The second try was a bit better. Now with the third, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. A tip for other newbies like me: the stone cooks the crust, and the flame cooks the toppings. For the pizza to turn out right, the stone needs to be hot enough to cook the crust before the flame overcooks the toppings. So first get the stone really hot, then turn down the flame and close the damper some.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We burnt the first one but only because we had to get acquainted with the oven so it wasn't by any means a disappointing experience, in fact – we had expected to mess something up, it's a live fire we're talking about! :-) And it was the first time we had ever used a wood-fired oven before. But the surprising thing was that we didn't toss that pizza (it looked black, haha) but cut it and it turned out that inside it was great. We ate it all! But I'm the person who always asks for the most well done bread at the bakery... Anyway, I do love that charred surface. From then on, once we figured out how the oven behaves and and how long it takes to get the dough done but also once we got better organised ourselves with toppings and refilling the fire wood in between pizzas – oh my goodness, we will no longer be temper to go to a pizzeria. We both think that it's been one of the best investments we've made. It's great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best thing I get in years, on par with my wife, but its not arguing and gives me pizza, i was sceptical, if it makes difference between regular kitchen oven, but the difference is huge and the taste is beyond expectations
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upgraded from my Uuni 3 as i wanted the charcoal/wood/gas options. It has been great. Definitly holds temperature better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve made pizza three times since I got this oven about a month ago. It’s been amazing. Using wood and charcoal is a challenge and something I want to get better at regulating the temperature but the results are amazing
