I think I might get one. My oven only gets to about 300 C. I have to cook pizzas about three-four minutes, and I know I’m losing some of that sauft and crunchy in the same time flavor.
I recently bought an Ooni Karu 12 G. Other videos just use hardwood charcoal, let it burn for a solid 20 minutes sealed up, add more, let it sit for about another 10 minutes, sealed up with vents open. Get your pizza ready at about 30 minutes. Throw a couple pieces of oak in to kick up the heat last minute and launch your pizza. Usually takes about 30-35 minutes with less poking and only added oak wood at the end. Either way... seems you can expect to wait 30 minutes for things to get hot enough.
Yep - about that, but also depends on your climate too and wind levels but adding a combo of wood and charcoal straight off is going to get the oven hotter quicker imo.
Hi! I’ve never counted but it must be about x20 good sized kindling pieces per cook if I am using no real wood logs and that includes heating up and the kindling I add just before the cook for the flames. That may sound a lot but I use about 6 criss-crossed to start up the oven fire 🔥. With larger logs that number is halved. 🪵
Hi - yes - I always use this wooden peel to launch as it’s easy and lightweight to use, with fine semolina , the pizza glides off it with small little movements on the launch (I wouldn’t use anything else!) then for the turning, I use a lightweight metal perforated peel as that works best for me too! 🍕🔥
I added charcoal to the mix after watching your video. It made such a massive difference👍
Hi- that’s fantastic to hear! Enjoy your lovely pizza! 🔥🍕
Your videos are fun and highly educational 🙏🥰💕Thank You🙏
Hi! So nice of you to say - thanks for watching!! 🍕🔥

This gets to 500c so will do that for you - but also check out the Ninja Woodfire and Koda 16 as they are great high heat ovens. 🔥🍕⚡️
Great video - thank you
Glad it was helpful!

Hello - about how many pieces of kindling do you use per cook? Thanks.

Thank you sooo much
it looked like you loaded using a timber peel and unloaded using a metal one? Why was that?
