Maybe At least the gas conversion but this thing is super solid, well worth the money imo! First pizza was incredible! I love this beautiful ingenering work of art! Thank you so much! The greatest Father's day gift ever!!!❤❤❤🎉😊

Thank you for your lovely comment! 🍕 F.

That's fantastic news! 💛 Enjoy pizza making 🍕

That's amazing to hear! 💛🍕

Became popular because it offered incredible value at the price (prior years). Now they are just another pizza oven. In fact there are better products out there.

Hi, I sincerely appreciate my Karu12”, but I have paid it 300 euros. For tha pizza it’s a good oven, but today I continue to think that wasn’t so cheap

@@gianmariaferrato2509 sad reality with most companies they forget their target customers

@@AdiGV They still sell the Koda 12, Karu 12 or Fyra. All under $350, if this oven's too much $$$ for someone Ooni has a lot of cheaper options. IMHO it's nice they're coming out with a premium oven like this. I have a Koda 12, and unless I pass away before this is avilable I'll be getting a Karu 16. It looks like a killer oven. They're not going to discontinue the other ovens when this comes out. Tell me which oven's are better with this set of features? The Carbon looks nice, but it can't use wood/charcoal and it can only cook 14" pizzas. The rest are either REALLY expensive, or somewhat cheaper but can only cook 11-12" pizzas. I don't know if there's even a competitor for this unless you get into the $1,500+ price range.

That's awesome to hear, Michael! We're so glad you're loving your new Ooni Karu 16. If you're planning on trying NY style pizza, make sure to check out this recipe - ooni.com/blogs/recipes/new-york-style-pizza-dough?_pos=1&_sid=7ecfd63ed&_ss=r. It's a favourite here at Ooni HQ!

Great question...I am watching for a reply on this about rotating. Although, I am new to Ooni and don't have one until my Karu 16 is delivered...November :( Absorbing everything I need to know now for that first cook off!

I would think that you would still have to rotate the same, just possibly a quicker ambient temperature warm up time and heat retention with the door closed. The fuel source end of the unit will probably still char the pizza pretty fast if you don't turn quickly enough.

I have one fyra 12 now I want this one 😩😂

Too many flaws still and for the price, I could get a better oven. The Karu was a great value for money.

@@AdiGV What are the flaws still out of curiosity?

You'll be able to pre-order the gas burner VERY soon! Keep an eye on our website today.

This should be included at this $800 price point

@@Oonihq You are losing customers because you aren't being honest about when we can order the propane and natural gas burners. Just be honest and tell people they aren't coming until 2022. You have a successful product, and are going to burn a lot of people who get ovens and can't get burners.

I am in the same boat as you. Ha ha ha. Oh well I love the 12 so it's all good.

Hi, Michael! Because Neapolitan-style pizza cooks so quickly at such extreme temperatures, it really comes down to your personal preferences for firing up your oven. However, for more 'Low & Slow' pizza styles and recipes, you can certainly achieve a smokier flavour profile when using solid fuels in our Karu. If you have any other questions for our Team, please feel free to reach out to us at support.ooni.com.

Hey! No, the Karu 16 Gas Burner will not be compatible with Ooni Pro.

Hey! The door has vents to enable cooler air coming into the oven through the vents on the door to be pressured down over the inside of the glass surface which helps to reduce the amount of soot that will stick to the glass, leaving you with a clearer view of what you are cooking for longer.

Add more for gas burner.

Yeah this is 300$ too expensive

@@Ryezn5057 that was exactly my thought!

I am planning on selling my Ooni. They seem to have gotten greedy because of the pentup demand the past few months. Don’t think I want to continue a relationship with such company. Now I need to price the Karu, pro gas burner, cover and custom accessories for sale 😌

@@AdiGV Even though I agree with you 100%, I can’t sell my Karu. I enjoy using it a ton and that’s the only thing I purchased from them.

Hey! We'll pass your suggestion along to our product team for consideration. We appreciate the feedback!

Great question! When any wood or charcoal starts to burn, there will be smoke produced until it reaches optimum temperatures. Our Karu 16 is a solid fuel oven and some ash lift off is normal! However, if you're noticing excess soot, there are a few suggestions we can offer: - Brush your grate free of debris before firing. - Add fuel gradually and make sure it is burning cleanly before cooking. If you continue to see dark smoke, it may be that your fuel is not completely dry or that too much has been added at once. It's important to have a kiln-dried hardwood that has an extremely low moisture content. - Never add too much fuel. Ensure you can always see some of the grate’s perforations when topping up. If you can’t, the airflow may be blocked. - Fully open up the vents and chimney baffle - Use the Ooni Pizza Oven Brush or a similar Oven Brush to wipe off the stone. - Soot can be wiped down the the oven is cool. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions for us, please feel free to contact our Support Team directly at support.ooni.com or reach out to us on any of our social channels (@oonihq). We're always happy to offer up some additional advice for your Karu 16!

@@Oonihq thank you very much ooni 👍👍👍👋

Nope, we recommend using wood kindling and varied wood pieces in the fuel tray located in the back of the Karu 16. Pellets would not achieve an efficient flame. We do offer a Karu 16 Gas Burner attachment. ☺️

We're so glad you're enjoying your Karu 16 and appreciate your feedback! After extensive testing, we've included heat-resistant Fixings for your Draft Plate/Gas Burner because these tend to be the most durable and effective for maintaining these components in place. The Torx Key that comes standard with your Karu 16 can easily be stored underneath your unit in a handy key-sized compartment. If by chance you lose this component, we'll of course be happy to send you another one if you reach out to us at support.ooni.com.

Hi Robert! We would be happy to help with any questions about the material used for our ovens. If you can please reach out to us at support@ooni.com and we can help!

I was until I found the price here will be over double the USA price at $1699 or two grand if you want the kit including the gas adaptore. Very disappointed!

Hi there! Please reach out to us at support.ooni.com and we can share the information with you!💛

The dual fuel Dome costs twice as much as a Karu 16 w/ gas burner, or $1799 to be exact.

Hey! The Gas Burner for Ooni Karu 16 is designed to run on propane. We are working on a Natural Gas Burner - Subscribe to our mailing list to be kept informed of all Ooni product releases. You can cook with the door on, yes! Hope this helps!

@@Oonihq I am going to be watching for the natural gas attachment!!!

@@Oonihq I know you said when cooking with propane you can cook with the door on but just to be crystal clear does that mean you can cook with the door CLOSED when cooking with gas?

​@@brycecayer5424 Yes! Ooni Karu 16 has been designed so that you can safely use the gas burner with the glass door 😀

Hey Tony! Great choice - you're going to love Ooni Karu 16 :) You're absolutely right in that lumpwood charcoal is the way to go! We recommend using a combination of this as well as hardwood logs (such as beech, birch, oak, hickory, mesquite, apple, or cherry). You can read more about this here: intercom.help/ooni/en/articles/6020281-what-kind-of-wood-and-charcoal-do-i-need-to-use-with-my-ooni-karu-16. You can find both lumpwood charcoal and hardwood oak logs on our website at ooni.com or at your local hardware store! As for cleanup, a simple brush with a BBQ wire brush (or the Ooni Pizza Oven Brush!) is all you need to keep your oven clean and free from soot. Check out this article to find out more: intercom.help/ooni/en/articles/6049508-how-do-i-clean-my-ooni-karu-16 We hope this helps, but if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to send us a message over on Facebook @oonihq!

The Ooni Karu 16 Gas Burner has increased precision thanks to the fully insulated oven body and mounted digital thermometer. The Gas Burner, and therefore temperature, can be controlled using the dial. The digital thermometer measures the ambient temperature within the oven, and cannot be 'set' specifically but our Engineers can confirm the Karu 16 Gas Burner can consistently cook at 250C (480F) for at least an hour straight when set at a lower flame. When using your Koda, you can achieve a low and slow technique for NY-style pizzas by pre-heating your oven/stone to the maximum heat, before turning the flame right down or completely off. The residual heat will so the low and slow work for you!

Hey Thomas, totally! You can check out the Karu 16's fuel consumption per hour/pizza here: ooni.com/pages/oven-comparison 🔥🍕

We haven't built anything in for that purpose, so we'd suggest being careful about where you decide to set up if you plan to leave your oven unattended! 🙂

Adding a ring on the backside to allow for a chain to lock it up would at least slow someone down or make them move on. A pricey investment to lose. (Just a suggestion.) ​@@Oonihq

Hi there! Unfortunately, you cannot use wood and propane at the same time. We do not recommend adding wood kindling/hardwood chunks when using one of our Gas Burner attachments, as this can affect the overall performance of your Gas Burner attachment and multi-fuel oven. If you have any other questions about this, please feel free to contact our Support Team at support.ooni.com. Thanks! 🍕

Amazing news!!🍕❤ The inbuilt thermometer is enough because it displays internal ambient oven temperature but please find more info here: ooni.com/blogs/ooni-insights/meet-ooni-karu-16-multi-fuel-pizza-oven 🍕 F.

Hey! You should keep the chimney installed when using gas to ensure proper airflow 😊

@@Oonihq Thanks! Trying to decide between the Karu vs Koda. Will probably use propane 99% of the time, but I like the higher interior working height of the Karu. Why doesn't the Koda have a door and does it affect its ability to retain heat as efficiently as the Karu?

Hello! While our chimney doesn't extend, we've included a nifty chimney baffle. This allows you to cook your pizzas or other desired dishes at a range of different temperatures. If you'd like to lower your oven's temperature and reduce the overall airflow, simply adjust the chimney baffle to the closed position.

@@Oonihq the reason for extending was to take the heat away from the top canopy were we have the ooni 16 looks like plan B then thankyou for a speedy reply

Just got my Oonie 16” today. Ordered last Friday. Sold my Pellethead POBoy. It was good but I’m looking forward to having more room to increase the size of the pies.

Hey Bob. We do have a natural gas burner available for the Karu 16, and a natural gas line version of our Koda 16. 🔥

Agreed

Hi there, we are sorry to hear this! Ooni Karu 16 has been in development for over 18 months and the innovation that has gone into this is just remarkable - we are very proud of this oven. It’s refined with thicker insulation, powder coated for greater insulation and weather resistance, inbuilt digital thermometer for an accurate reading of the ambient temperature inside the oven - it is also the first oven to recognised by the AVPN. Then there’s the glass door which has been developed with ViewFlame technology. This incorporates Airwash technology, to enable cooler air coming into the oven through the vents on the door to be pressured down over the inside of the glass surface which helps to reduce the amount of soot that will stick to the glass, leaving you with a clearer view of what you are cooking for longer.

@@Oonihq At that price it should have at least 1" thick floor. The #1 complaint of the Koda 16 is inconsistent floor temp from front to back and you didn't do anything fix it.

Though designed in Scotland I believe it is made in China anyhow!

Hi there! Our Ooni Pro Gas Burner has been designed with a safety device known as an FSD, or Flame Safety Device. This typically prevents any buildup of gas within your unit if your thermocouple detects that your oven isn't hot enough. Above all else, we always want to ensure you're not just making great pizza but are comfortable doing so. Our Pro Gas Burner has been designed for use without a door as a safety precaution, but we would be happy to discuss your particular problem with you further on any of our social channels (@oonihq). We hope to hear from you!

@@Oonihq list of problems i have sent to ooni customer support: 1) if i close the back hatch and the front doors the flame in the gas burner switches off yet the gas is being released in the oven. This is very dangerous. Is there a way i can use the gas burner without keeping one of the openings opened to reduce the waste of energy? 2) the gas consumption is huge, is there a way to add thermal insulation to the oven to keep the consumption lower (also linked to question 1) ? 3) is there a way to have the front doors (the doors with the thermometer) fixed in place with a hinge or something similar? 4) the stainless steel sheet is warped above the burner, does that effect the oven in any way? I usually slowly heat the oven so that the stones do not crack and that means once i place something into the oven for baking the oven is hot, if i then close the doors with thermostat the flames go out. Based on your answer the thermocouple will not detect that the oven is cold and it will continue to leak the gas into the oven. I did not see on. ooni website the statement that ooni pro 16 cannot be used with the closed doors and gas burner more to the point it states on your website: Extra large cooking area for 16inch pizzas, roast mets, fresh bread and more. How exactly do i make a bread in the oven using a gas burner if i cannot close the doors? I will consume one 9 kg bottle of gas per loaf of bread

@Ooni nothing?
