How do I setup Ooni Karu?
All Ooni pizza ovens are portable and do not require any installation. You simply need to open the oven legs, light the wood inside the oven and you will be ready to cook in minutes!
What kind of fuel can I use with my Ooni wood fired oven?
Ooni multi-fuel pizza ovens can be used with wood and charcoal as standard. Optionally, you can also purchase the Ooni Gas Burner that gives you the option of running your oven on LPG cooking gas!
Pizza Pro Firewood Logs are made from 100% mango wood, free from chemicals or additives, and perfectly sized for Ooni Karu 12, Karu 2 and Ooni Karu 16 pizza ovens. You can purchase Pizza Pro Firewood here.
Mango tree wood, which is easily available in most parts of India is the best choice for wood fired ovens. In the mountains of north India, mango tree wood may be difficult to find. In this case Oak wood is a good choice.
We recommend using pieces of hardwood approximately 15cm/6in long as shown below.
How do I light my oven using wood?
First, check that your Ooni wood fired oven is ready to be fired up: Remove the chimney cap, open the chimney vents and put on the door.
Remove the fuel hatch and place a small stack of burning charcoal in the fuel tray, followed by a layer of wood.
Once you have a nice fire going, add more fuel. Close the hatch and leave your oven to preheat for 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on the fire and add more fuel as needed. Remember, adding too much at once can smother the flame.
You can use charcoal and wood separately, but we love combining the two for an even heat and unbeatable flavour.

Cannot be more than happy to buy this beautiful product. The build quality is top of the world. Proper stainless steel. Pizza peel, turning peel, rocker blade, all have immaculate quality. The oven is very easy to use, though I haven't tried the Gas Burner yet. I am enjoying the nuances of the wood fired pizza so far. The only downside with Kari 12 is that it is 12. You have less room to play with movement of the pizza and controlling the heat. Karu 16 should be far better and it's definitely I'll be buying the next.
Also, the customer support from Pizza Pro is lovely. They are prompt to respond and resolve the queries, post purchase too.

Easy to set up, easy to get it working like a professional woodfired oven and easy to store! You have no idea how easy is it to make professional, beautiful pizzas, unless you have tried making them in the Ooni Karu. I have the 12" one and its a multi fuel oven which makes it ultra handy for times when wood isn't available. I also add lump coal and then a piece of wood for that great char and flavour though- and no one will tell you this- you can make it with just lump coal!

Well packaged, good-looking and totally easy-to-use Pizza Oven. I have been a huge pizza fan my whole life but the fact that I can use both LPG and smoking woods at home to bake a restaurant grade Pizza has made it a whole new experience. Worth buying for sure.

Gave it to husband for Christmas! Made pizza Christmas night. We need to work on our crust recipe but all came out awesomely and easily for first go.

Wow. What a great experience pizza making has become. The ooni fires up beautifully and the cooking takes just a couple of minutes. Most of the time is in learning how to prepare the dough, how to get the pizza on and off the peel and of course how to cook it and eat it (the fun part).
