Ooni - Karu 12 Gas Burner - Silver

The title says it all. This is enormously more convenient than using wood fire (easy to use, low maintenance, etc. ), but heats SO SLOWLY. After 45 minutes running at full blast, my oven was barely hitting 800 F.

We are having so much fun baking pizza in our Ooni oven both with the gas burner and alternating using wood pellets. Having a home outdoor pizza oven allows for experimentation and it's been delicious and a wonderful family activity.

I have a Koda 12 that I have used for the last few years. The burner lights easily and the pizza stone heats very well. Since I bought a Karu and attached the propane burner, it's a real pain in the butt to light the oven, and the stone doesn't get nearly as hot. It's a mystery to me why this is the case, but I need some suggestions. Thank you, Brad Myers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works as it should. Can get back of stone up to 850°, front low 7s. Have been using in pretty cool temps so that may make a difference. Recommended to keep front door off makes it a little harder to heat I would imagine. Satisfied overall though- it's quick and easy if you don't feel like messing with wood.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our Karu12. We had a different one before, and the flame was so difficult to manage. This is simple, easy to use and produces consistent results. You do have to manage the flame, which is easy, but we haven't burned one yet.
