Ooni Karu 12G Multi-Fuel Portable Pizza Oven - UU-P25100

Love how the dough cooks in the pizza oven. The overall unit is great build quality. The temperature gets up relatively quickly. Overall great experience with the Karu 12G

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'

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.

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.

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.

First pizza oven to try, but was easy to set up, heats up quickly and the taste is so much better compared to an electric oven!

Fantasic upgrade on my previous Oooni Frya

Beautiful piece of work

We are in love with our multi-fuel Karu. Primarily, we use the wood, but we have enjoyed our pizzas the other fueling ways too! Ok I has made an incredible oven and we love ours so much we use it every Friday night for pizza night! We are gluten and yeast free so our doughs are handmade and slightly pre baked in our oven to help with transfer to ooni oven. Cooks like a flatbread and the flavor is like no other. Thanks Ooni for making a great product. Enjoy your purchase!

Absolutely love this oven, we've used it constantly since we've had it, great for a quick snack or for when entertaining others. We thought we'd use the wood burner most with the gas as a back up, but so far we've only used the gas - but that gives excellent results. It heats up to temperature quickly and the pizzas taste better (or at least as good as) ones we'd buy in a restaurant/take out. We use the Ooni ready-made dough and Mutti tomato sauce, so all very easy. Highly recommend!
