Ooni Karu 2
Ooni's second-gen 12 inch multi-fuel oven: wood or charcoal out of the box, optional gas burner, glass door and built-in thermometer at 500C.
4.6 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Outstanding
Strengths
- 45% larger fuel tray than the Karu 12 makes wood-firing genuinely practical, not a chore
- Glass door and built-in thermometer let you watch the bake and track stone temperature without opening up
- 500C in about 15 minutes with real smoky flavour that wins blind taste tests
Watch outs
- Gas burner attachment is a separate purchase, pushing total cost near bigger gas ovens
- Wood-firing remains hands-on: feeding, airflow and temperature swings take practice
- Swapping between gas and wood means physically removing the burner
- Max pizza size 12 inch (13.3 inch stone)
- Cooking stone 15 mm cordierite
- Max stone temperature 500C (950F)
- Preheat time Approximately 15 minutes (one UK reviewer measured 25 minutes to a 340C base with wood)
