Adorable addition to our rooftop space, I think we will soon be smitten. . ! Our first two attempts were fair to good, and hoping 3rd time (with correct mix of wood and charcoal - we initially used wood only - and not allowing the dough to get too warm well the unit comes up to screaming hot) will be the charm!
My first Karu 2 was working fine for just over a year with relatively light use and storage inside. Unfortunately, when I came to use it next, the pressed steel bezel into which the chimney fits had become detached. On close inspection, I discover that this is attached to the oven body roof using three small angular brackets. These are welded lightly to the basil ring and then pop riveted to the oven. The minimal weld is used were grossly insufficient to hold and had simply broken. This component is obviously subject to constant heating up and cooling down and will consequently be stressed. The amount of weld used was massively less than his required.
Ooni were good and replaced the whole oven. I just hope this was a one off manufacturing defect and won’t happen again. I can’t fault that after sales service and I am once again enjoying using this Pizza oven.
Really happy with the oven so far, the hardest part is getting the dough to size and launching it. The best part was the discount on the Oonie website.
Absolutely love this. Since purchase 2 month ago it has been used every weekend. Very easy to set up. Good quality and perfect pizza maker for a novice. Would defo recommend
