Product Information
Full details
The Ooni Karu 12 is designed for outdoor cooking enthusiasts and pizza lovers who want authentic, stone-baked results in their own backyard. Its primary benefit is its multi-fuel versatility, allowing you to choose between the traditional taste of wood and charcoal or the convenience of a gas burner, while reaching professional temperatures of 500°C in just 15 minutes. A key caveat to consider is that the gas burner attachment is sold separately, and the unit is intended strictly for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas.

How do I clean the baking stone?

How long does it take to cook a pizza?

Troubleshooting
Oven is not reaching desired temperatures
Ensure you are using dry, high-quality hardwood and check that the chimney damper is fully open to allow for proper airflow.
Pizza crust is burning before the toppings are cooked
Rotate the pizza more frequently during the 60-second cook and ensure your pizza dough is at room temperature before stretching.
Excessive soot buildup
Use smaller pieces of kiln-dried wood and ensure the fire is burning cleanly without blocking the oven's intake vents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Karu 12 is straightforward: unfold the legs, insert the stone, and attach the chimney. For wood/charcoal, start with small, dry pieces of hardwood to build your fire. For maintenance, never use water or soap on the cordierite stone; simply scrape off charred residue once the stone has fully cooled. If you spill food on the stone, flip it over during the next fire to burn off the debris. The exterior stainless steel can be maintained by wiping it with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always store the oven in a dry place or use a dedicated Ooni cover to protect it from moisture.
