Hi Tom, Thanks for re-enforcing this very important piece of advice. CO is particularly deadly because you cannot see, smell or taste it. Another example of 'prevention is better than cure'
It’s a question I had often wondered myself and decided to research it more. If I can help people to stay safe when using their pizza oven then i feel it’s my duty to explain the reasons why! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the clear explanations. Even though the answer is “no”, it is not clear why, when we can use propane stoves and ovens built into my kitchen. This answers my question.
I've used my Ooni 16 w/ propane attachment in a professional (indoor) kitchen with it set up directly under the ventilation hood and I am still very much alive and the pizza was great. Context is everything. Have a hood to suck up CO? Go for it. No hood? Don't go for it.
I use my ooni karu on gas in the kitchen as close to the back door as possible with the door fully open. I also have a large window open in the kitchen. Also had it running for very extended periods of time, sometimes over an hour, and I've been using it inside for about 6 months on a very regular basis. My theory is that the hot, carbon monoxide harboring air will go outside, because of diffusion (hot air goes towards cold air and vice versa) generating a flow of air. I've never suffered any of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and the ceiling inside the kitchen has no soot marks. If you wish to do the same, I highly recommend purchasing a carbon monoxide meter to be on the safe side and ventilating the area as much as possible. Regarding Ooni's claim about their ovens being fully weatherproof I do not agree completely as my old karu12 stone cracked as a result of using the Ooni outside on a rainy day. This is why I began using my ooni indoors. Id say if you have an outdoor shelter or gazebo that would be the best thing really. An alternative solution i think would be to fit a chimney cap onto the ooni to prevent water from getting in during heavy rain if planning to cook using wood/charcoal in bad weather conditions.
Some good advice there, thanks for commenting. The issue you may have had with your stone is the fact it got wet. If a stone gets wet they can crack when they next get hot.
Yeah, tell me about it, its been dog shit for ages now here! Although at least its getting into spring time! I have used my Ooni's in cold and wet weather before and they still work fine!
Hi Tom I’ve seen a roccbox being used in a catering trailer before, would this be deemed safe, as they have vents and of course an opened hatch? I noted the did not have an extractor under it.
Thanks for the questions Robert, its difficult to say but as long as there is good airflow it should be ok, many caterers use roccbox and Ooni's for their business with no issues. Just make sure its well ventilated if you're using this in a trailer. Perhaps reach out to Ooni directly for more info
Thanks Tom. I have a roccbox set up in trailer next to service hatch which is approximately 7ft wide as well as 8 gas vents In trailer. Rear door is also open when working. Got a carbon monoxide alarm to test to see if the ventilation is enough. Many thanks Robert

How about using it on my balcony in my building? Lot of air comes, but the problem is the roof from another balcony, i dont know if heat will make a black spot on the roof?
If it’s a gas pizza oven, it’s unlikely to leave a black spot, as there is little soot. I would contact ooni directly for more clarity on weather it would be safe to use on a balcony

I've never suffered any of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and the ceiling inside the kitchen has no soot marks. Personally I'd give it a try because you definitely wont die. If you use a CO reader please let me know how it goes because I haven't used one yet.
If I owned the apartment and set the regulations. I would totally let you cook pizza on the balcony. This would be on the condition you made pepperoni pizza and garlic bread every Saturday night 👍
The gas used in homes is methane gas which usually is transparent when burning. Gas companies put a substance to make it become blue when burning. The yellow flames only means that it’s a different gas not more dangerous. Barbecues, when initially burning coal make a yellow flame
Just what I was looking for. Thank you for getting straight to the point.
What? It took him two minutes in a four minute video, and waited until after the like and subscribe bullshit

There is no link for Canada and do you have a reduction code?

Thank you for getting straight to it and allowing me to win an argument. Cheers!
Haha you’re welcome!

Fair play but not many people have access to a kitchen with proper ventilation but if you do that’s ok

Hi! Thanks a lot! Please give me some advice, I have to wear it hot after cooking, what bag should I use? Any ideas? 😊
Thanks for watching and for the comment, i wouldn't recommend putting the oven away hot as it may melt the bag.
the flame of my ooni is always blue... any idea what might cause that, and if it's something to worry about?
Hey man, great video as always! Keep up the great work:)
Thanks Matey!
I'm looking at getting one but the UK weather puts me off. Though I may use in garage with doors open.

Hi Tom,
What if you put it by a window with a crabon monixide reader near by?
Thanks for the comment! I can’t really comment on weather that would be ok or not! I think it’s best to just stick to using them outdoors

Hey in the end did you end up using a meter or you dead😢@@thefatcontroller7721
Hello! I live in a apartment, but really want to get a pizza oven. What if i use it on a balcony😬
Hello, I would not recommend using this on a balcony, you would need to check your apartment regulations.
Sounds like a good idea
@@ralphcarey9095 thanks really appriciate it
If I owned the apartment and set the regulations. I would totally let you cook pizza on the balcony. This would be on the condition you made pepperoni pizza and garlic bread every Saturday night 👍
For apartment use, try an electric pizza oven, such as the one made by Brevel.
Thanks for the great advice. You would of helped a few people to better understand the dangers it my pose 👍
Well it made sense to make a video because I get asked a lot. Many people have balconies and outdoor sheds they want to use them in.

Thanks for watching!
A 1000 thanks for this video.
You’re welcome, I’m glad you liked it!
Nice job once again keep it up
Thanks buddy!
How much will it cost to be shipped to the philippines
i dont know you would have to speak to the company
When you convert the unit to natural gas using Ooni’s kit, it gives you a blue flame instead of yellow.
Thats handy to know! Thanks Pete! Sadly this conversion kit isn't available in the UK.
Very helpful.
We’ll explained. Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching my video!
