Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Portable Pizza Oven - UU-P29400

I have use my pizza oven twice. First time pizza got burnt on the ends. 2nd time it was perfect it cooks so quickly and I keep turning it. No burnt ends.

Easy to setup and use. Really pleased with the purchase as a birthday present for my husband. We now regularly enjoy pizza nights as a family with kids, it's a fun activity and something different to having a bbq outside (and much quicker to get the food cooked!).

Great upgrade from pellet version

Love the oven, makes great pizzas, really good fun with friends and family.

We opened the box, set it up and had family around. We used the wood pellets . Even the very first pizza was delicious. It's super easy to use, great. pizza (ooni dough and ooni GF dough for the first ones). Highly recommend.

Well. What can I say. First pizza I left the heat up high so a little burnt around the edge BUT the second. That's my first pizza I made from scratch, cooked and i felt like I was in an Italian restaurant. This pizza oven is now my favourite appliance ! Love it.

Bought as a birthday gift for my pizza loving husband - best gift! He loves it and it was really easy to set up and use. Pizzas were delicious

Really frustrating experience, from start to finish. It's really cumbersome to get the pizza on and off the pizza stone. The flame is on the top, burning the back half of a labor intensive pizza, while the bottom and center of the pizza is raw dough. I hardly use it, because I need a year or so to recall how much it angers me to use. It's also quite an awkward thing to store. If you'd like to buy a used one cheap, please contact me. I'd like to get rid of it. I have tried with both wood, the propane attachment, and have the storage case.

I have had my Karu 12 for 4 years. I chose this model because I wanted the whole wood fired experience. I have no doubt gas would be easiest, but I enjoy managing the fire. I use a combination of lump wood charcoal and kindling and it heats up really well. I do find that after a while of cooking it becomes difficult to maintain the temperature, even with restocking the fire, so the pizza cooks get longer over time. I guess this is an airflow issue as the grate becomes fuller. We use it for small family/friends groups and usually cook 5 pizzas. For us it's perfect. On the down-side parts of it do rust. Mine has been kept in its waterproof cover, under shelter, and I was shocked how much it had rusted over winter when it came to getting it ready for the first go of this season. To Ooni's credit, they have been amazing since I reported this and they have replaced to whole oven. The customer service is absolutely fantastic! This one I will be sure to store inside over winter.

So far so good. Had a bit of a learning curve figuring out temp regulation and where the sweet spot is. Look forward to many summer pizza nights on the patio with family and friends!
