Unclear instructions on door and chimney positions with Karu 12G
on July 19, 2023
Posted by: Victoria
There seems to be some ambiguity about how to use this with the new Karu 12G models. In the Q&A, the answer was to keep the door closed, but this didn't work when I tried, I found if I closed the door, with the chimney attached but set to the closed position, the flame will go out. I think because it needs oxygen to burn.
Here are my observation trying the gas burner at its highest setting (just for breaking in the oven, we haven't started cooking with it yet).
- With door open, and chimney in closed position: oven doesn't get very hot, only to the orange zone of the built-in thermometer, but not reaching the reds. Pizza stone surface temp was about 430ºC nearest to the flame, and 350ºC nearest the door.
- With door closed, and chimney in closed position: flame goes out after awhile
- With door closed, and chimney open: oven seem to get hotter, reaching the first bar of the red zone in the built-in thermometer. Pizza stone surface temp was about 480ºC nearest to the flame, and 430ºC nearest the door. It might be able to get hotter if I tried for longer.

I think when I cook, I will try it with door closed and chimney open.
Other than that, this is very easy to use, easy to attach and detach and switch between this and wood (in different sessions). Nice to have gas as an option and for when cooking with the griddle pans where you want lower, more consistent temperatures. The kit comes with everything you need if using regular 10-13kg size bottle propane gas (e.g. Calor, Flogas, Gaslight, in the UK). You just need to get the bottle gas. It is very easy to attach to the 10kg Gaslight in my case.
Minus one star from the score because instructions are not clear regarding door on or off etc. Would be nice if they explained the rationale for keeping door open. Also Q&A answer is wrong, and potentially dangerous as the flame could go out if keeping both door and chimney closed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to upgrade with the bundle option with my Ooni pizza oven purchase. The gas burner attachment was easy to install and use.

We like using lump charcoal but you can’t beat the convenience of the gas burner. Great for cleaning the stone as well.
