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.

Thanks for your videos, your pizzas look fantastic! Ordered my Karu 12G on Wednesday evening, here it is Friday morning and it has already arrived! I'll give you 3 guesses on what I'll be doing tomorrow 😊🍕 Can't wait to enjoy some awesome pizzas for me and the family!

I am glad I took my time to decide to buy my ooni, just ordered the 12g and gas accessory and cant wait to make my first wood cooked pizza.

Just placed an order on one 12g from Ooni….1 to 2 week waiting period. ……great info video….decided to go with the wood/ coal fire…love the traditional wood fire flavor. This new glass door sold me quick…Would like to see more info on the stack pipe damper adjustment for heat flow during the cook time…should you leave it open or close it…. Thanks for all of your videos…

I really enjoyed your video and am planning to spend my Christmas money on this and a new mountain bike fork! (Rockshox Pike Ultimate)

Great vid! Cheers!

Can I use it for commercial use in my food truck? Thanks for sharing this.

Congrats on your new oven. As usual, looks delicious.

I'm on the hunt for a table to keep my Koda 12 on so checked out the AU link you've provided for Ooni's folding table, which I thought at $AU399 wasn't too bad. Sadly, I checked the NZ store and the same table is $NZ489! I love Ooni's products, and I love my Koda 12, but sometimes it's pricing is definitely on the steep side. Thanks for the video, Tom.

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.

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

Nice review Tom.

Loving the videos, I really like the look of this 12g, is there anything else you have or can cook on this besides pizza?

You make it look easy

Mine should be here in the next few days. Fingers crossed

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.

Awesome - I'm sold! Thanks again, Tom! Any problems with the chimney fitting and the fuel door handle (that I've seen on a couple of other videos)?

Great video. I’m waiting for my Ooni 12G pizza oven. Never had a pizza oven before so your films are invaluable. One Question, you cooked the pizza straight from the box. Do you not have to cook off the oily factory film before doing a pizza?

Another good video! I noticed you have a flock of these Oonis. Where do you store them? I have the Frya and trying to battle temperature inconsistencies. I know it’s a knock to the back. Would this oven be a good next step? Or ?

Still not available in Japan, not even on amazon. They do have the karu 16 and old karu 12. i just feel the karu 16 is not worh the price, i mean.. it's twice the price of the 12g 😮

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?

Hi Tom ! when you were indicating the temps, - are you talking degrees C ? I'm assuming so, since you are in the UK, just wanted to be sure on that, thank you.

Nice review like always. Your early review on the 12g was what made me decide to invest in an ooni. Ordered 2 weeks ago, hoping it will ship soon. So if you're reading along Ooni... I'm getting hangry😂

Would you recommend this over a Koda 12 for a first pizza oven?

I would like to see a Fyra 12G

When you say 436 I assume you mean Celsius? 7:40

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?

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

What wood are u using? Love your videos 👍

Hi, really like your video, I have a question about the temperature of the bottom/tabel the over is sitting on. How hot is is going to be? Do you need a metal table or a thick hardwood table would do?

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?

Hi, did you notice any woobbling of fuel handle?More people complained about it. The same chimney - woobbling. One more question - did you try gas?Can you make video?Because ,,supposedly" not cooking side of pizza but more topping. Thanks for you hones review and afford and sry for my english. I am Czech.

Will the same gas attachment from Karu 12 fit 12G..? (great review btw)👍🏻

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.

Trying to decide Karu 12g or 16, quite a price difference but a fair bit more space.. Thoughts??

First to comment, second to like! Woo Hoo!!! Awesome Tom. Great vid. What a beautiful oven. Man, how many ovens you own now, lol.

Tom don’t get mad for me asking but is tepid water the same as warm or does that mean hot.

With my old Karu 12, you can't run the gas burner with the door on. In fact, when I tried it, it put the burner out. I assume it's the same for the new model?

this or pellett version whcih is best???? this actually looks amazing. !!1

Have you, or do you plan to, review the gozney pizza ovens as well?

Can you use pellets as fuel in karu 12g?

Great video, can the door stay shut when you use gas?

What kind of cart do you have the ooni on?

Karu 12G vs Roccbox ?

12G? Like some kind of new Cell phone standard?

@10.25 , you need JD's hot honey, a great ingredient.
