Just got my 12G the other day, replaced my often used and worn out UUNI 2 pellet oven. The door is a game changer and the damper on the chimney is something that the old UUNI 2 did not have but could have used. I love that i don't have to constantly tend to fuel like i did on the old oven. We did 4 pizzas today and i just occasionally had to add some wood on top to get the flames going. I also cooked a chicken breast in the oven prior to cooking the Pizza. It held heat for a really long time on a single load of charcoal with just the additional kindling for flame. Overall its a really nice upgrade. BTW the "allen" key holder( which is actually a Torx) serves two purposes. It holds the tool so it wont get lost but it also acts as a detent for the rear leg so it cannot move while the oven is in use. Its a really clever design.

You don't need a metal table there isn't much heat under the oven I just bought a Karu 16 and i don't have a table so far I put it on the cardboard it came with and nothing burns the cheapest table you can have 😅

@Scotty_in_Ohio Год назад

Love the glass door: Now I'll be looking to upgrade my oven - perhaps an unfortunate accident in the garden but more likely I'll set someone up with my Karu 12. I could take/leave the thermometer - though it would save time in hunting down my infrared one as it seems to grow legs at the most inopportune times. My Karu 12 (which was a recent purchase) came with a larger fuel basket which I'd noticed during a few other videos on the Karu 12.

@sandrawheatley8267 Год назад

Hi Tom - I purchased the Karu12G on the upgrade scheme from Ooni - I had the Fyra 12 which was fab. Love this upgrade BUT no one ever seems to advise that the Oonis do need to be ‘seasoned’ for 30 mins before their first use to burn of any manufacturing oils. Why don’t you advise that this is done? Sadly it isn’t mentioned in the Karu12 G user guide either. Love your videos! Thanks Tom.

@TomVoyageuk Год назад

I've never actually heard of the upgrade scheme? What does that involve? To be honest, i've never really worried too much about seasoning ovens. I usually have them running at least for 30 mins before cooking anyway, but you're right if Ooni recommend it then i should state this in videos.

@LukeHutch 11 месяцев назад

@@TomVoyageuk Upgrading from the Fyra 12 to the Karu 12G through the Ooni Upgrade Programme too thanks to this comment! Might be one to do a quick video on Tom? It's a little hidden in the backend but if you search for Ooni Upgrade Programme on Google it pops straight up. All you have to is give the serial number & proof of purchase of your old oven and a member of the team will be in touch with a 20% off discount code for a new oven. Such a great idea!

@adamister Год назад

Do you have any experience using wood pellets on the ooni? Im curious hiw well this would work for convience and am trying to decide between the frya and karu. Thanks.

@TomVoyageuk Год назад

Thanks for the question, The Karu 12G is only designed for use with Wood, Charcoal or Gas. If you used pellets, it makes it very hard to add more without the use of the hopper. I personally like the Karu, and find cooking on a mixture of wood and charcoal a more reliable source than cooking on pellets. Plus you always have the gas option if you fancy an easy life!

@kai-weihu2736 Год назад

Hey Tom AWESOME openbox. That pizza is fantastic and really give me impulsion to order the oven right away :D I am a bit concern about the size: Is 12inch enough for me? In my case, I mostly cook for 2 or a small group of guests, 4- 6 ppl. Would you be able to share some of your wisdom about how should I decide in terms of size?

@TomVoyageuk Год назад

I often cook on the 12" for 6 people, its plenty big enough. Think with a 16"oven, you need to prepare more larger dough balls, takes more fuel, and costs more overall. i would go for the 12" it will be fine! I'm catering this weekend for 20 people, and will be running 2x 12" ovens!

@TheJezmhill Месяц назад

@@TomVoyageuk what is the sort of interval required between bakes for 12" pizzas? if I was catering for 16 is that possible in this oven?

@TomVoyageuk Месяц назад

@TheJezmhill ⁠it’s possible for sure, but will take a while as every 3 pizzas or so will need some more heat in the stone. I usually reheat the stone for 10 minutes every 3 pizzas to keep the stone around 450c/850f

@michaeldecastro2372 7 месяцев назад

at 5:32 why did you slide the full charcoal tray through the oven? rather than leave the tray inside and load the charcoal through the hatch? is that just preference?

Yes, pretty much, i find it's easier to arrange your coals for good airflow outside the oven, rather than using the small hatch at the back. but which ever way works for you is best, there is no right or wrong

If you are only making 12 inch pizzas is there any benefit to the 16 vs the 12G with regard to evenness of browning and texture quality of crust?

@TomVoyageuk 7 месяцев назад

Good question and the answer is no, the 16 won't necessarily give a better bake/crust just due to its size. What i do like however is having the extra room in the 16 to be able to move the pizza closer to father from the flame, to alter your cooking speed.

I believe yes, as the koda model with no door also has no chimney. With the karu you use the chimney to have the top rolling flame over the pizza, so you should close the door. Will save you on gass consumption

Yes for gas door closed and chimney on 🙂

With the 12G, the door should be shut when using the gas burner 👍🏻

Yeah, with the old karu, i would use the gas with the door open, and no chimney. But with the new Karu 12G, you need to keep the door closed, but have the chimney on as you still need the airflow.

As a regular Karu 12 owner I can't help but be sad to see how much of an upgrade this is for just £80 extra. If I was purchasing my first oven now this would be a no brainer, but difficult to justify shelling out the entire £379 for the door and thermometer. But damn I really want that door lol

you forgot to say how long it took to bake the pizza. Also, does wood make a difference when it comes to the flavor?

@TomVoyageuk 5 месяцев назад

The cook time depends on the dough and style of pizza you cook, Neapolitan style can cook in 60 seconds, although i get better results going for 90 seconds to 120 seconds. Wood does impart some flavour, but for me, using wood is more about the char you get on the crust, and the enjoyment of using wood to cook, rather than it being a substantial difference in the taste.
