Just Okay
on August 13, 2023
Posted by: Chris F.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fired it up as instructed with two separate 30 minute burn offs. The oven billows black soot and smells like plastic burning. This was using both the Ooni wood and charcoal, pellets seemed to be a bit better. Otherwise it works fine. I’ll probably just buy the gas burner. Overall I’m not impressed with the product at this price point. As a side note any toppings spilled will create a fire flare up. I found the spill impossible to remove from the back and had to just let it burn off.

We did a trial run

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did a trial run with our grand kids before the big day. We celebrated our 35th anniversary by having a pizza luncheon. The day turned out great and the pizzas were a huge success. Everyone got to make any pizza they wanted. We had two different pizza dough and sauce made from scratch. Along with many toppings. Looking forward to start our Saturday night pizza nights. 😊

So happy with my Ooni!!
on August 12, 2023
Posted by: Steve D.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Professional level wood fired pizzas!! Very happy with this product. Brought it over to a friends house yesterday and had an epic pizza party. We love cooking and had a blast whipping up classic and exotic flavor combos. I’m a relatively experienced home bread baker and love to tinker with stuff like this. I dialed in the fuel/ temp/ dough/ bake-times after about 3 pizza making sessions. If you’re totally new to baking you might want to eliminate a variable and add the gas adapter. Took some trial and error with wood so be ready to mess it up the first few times and learn as you go. That’s the fun of it! Excellent performance. Worth every penny.

Great pizza oven

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great oven. Tried out a few wood fuelled pizzas, turned out amazing. Just recently added the gas burner, much faster to heat, stays up to temp constantly compared to wood but still great tasting pizza!

I have had the 2nd

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the 2nd edition unni for a few years now and have had some issues with keeping the temp up with pellets , now that I have the multi fuel and gas attachment those days are long gone.15-20 mins warm up and ready to go! pizza sticking to the stone because not warm enough is a thing of the past . The external temp gauge is very handy too although still use infrared gun to get stone temp exact for launch.
I honestly can't say that I have had a bad pizza since upgrading through your upgrade scheme to this wonderful Karu 12g ....and the window in the front is a complete game changer for me .
Thank You ooni
Next thing to try is your bamboo peel and your own dough.

Good pizza oven that gets hot like it's supposed to.
on August 8, 2023
Posted by: Jay F.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little oven. Gets nice and hot as designed. Temp indicator on side is helpful. Only downside is the difficulty to clean the soot off the inside of the oven each time. Very messy and very dirty job, as it's difficult to reach many of the internal surfaces.

Excellent oven
on August 8, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent pizza oven been very happy with results. Waiting on gas valve to be delivered to see how it will work.
As far as starting with wood or lump coal and maintaining heat no issues but the more seasoned your wood (dried out) will make a difference and use only hardwood oak, Burch and such.

A worthy upgrade to a great oven
on August 8, 2023

The Karu 12G takes all the great features of the original Karu and improves on them. The hinged glass door might seem like a small upgrade, but in practice it makes the pizza cooking process infantilely easier, and it will be especially helpful when cooking in the winter when you want to minimise the amount of time that the door is open.
The integrated thermometer doesn't give you a precise temperature, so you'll still need an infrared gun, but it does give a very helpful 'at a glance' indication of roughly where you are temperature-wise, so is another useful addition.
I've found that having the slightly wider and shallower fire pan makes it easier to maintain an even temperature when using wood/charcoal.
There are other small changes, like being able to hook the fire pan lid onto the back of the oven when adding more fuel, and I think the slightly shorter chimney now fits inside the oven for travel, which is handy.
The look and finish are great, although I'm get to see how well it holds up after a wet and cold English winter!
Overall I'm really impressed and think this is an excellent upgrade, or a great first pizza oven for anyone who wants to cook with 'real fire'
