Pizza ovens

It is yeah - it doesn't get that hot underneath.

Thanks, it's very low tho at 70cm, I'd like something that would Ideal be 1m or a little more

Anyone have a good same day dough recipe? Haven't really used the oven over winter but wouldn't mind doing a pizza tonight

Not bad for a winter bake !

If it's delicious then it's delicious.

Looks great. Love a bit of onion on pizza. And pineapple! 😲

Hi guys! What gas do you run your Ooni on? Been asked and answered I know somewhere wise in this thread but damned if I can find it now but as Summer is on the horizon I figure it’s time to get my Karu 16 up and running after winter. I did a few cooks last year after I got it but the weather just wasn’t great later in the summer so faffing around with charcoal just wasn’t on the cards. I figure getting gas will probably keep me cooking into autumn as well or beyond.

I see places selling propane and patio gas side by side. They are essentially the same thing I believe but I’m just not sure what I should get so any help would be appreciated. Also opinions on bottle size too would be good. I don’t want to be running to the hardware place every other week. Thanks.

Thanks. I bought the gas adapter in a bundle with the oven. I’m not sure if it comes with the bottle adapter as it’s been in the shed since delivery. I read on the Ooni site that they’ve stopped shipping the bottle adapter now with 37mbar adapters as there are a number of standards so they want customers to get their own local version. Does anyone have the Karu gas attachment and how did you get on with the adapter?

just had a Quick Look and it does come with a red tank adapter.

Don't know about the Karu 16 gas but I have the Karu 12 Gas adaptor which uses Propane. Personally I don't like using the gas compared to using wood. I have taken out the grate section of the charcoal/wood holder as I can load it up more and it is way faster to heat up and hotter than the gas so I would expect with the large wood holder of the 16 it is very easy..I have a plentiful supply of hardwood which I have cut up for the Ooni but if I didn't I think I would buy some kiln dried logs and cut them up.. Goodwoods in Drogheda have some very good specialty woods for Pizza ovens.

I use gas purely for parties as wood never kept up with 10-12 bakes one after other with everything done in an hour..main reason i got koda 12

They’re 500+ new and accessories aren’t cheap so I’d say if you priced it reasonably you’d get takers. Can’t see why not really.

This is the probably the wrong place to ask, but...... maybe the best place.

What tomatoes do people use for their sauce?

I generally use the Dunnes Simply Better tinned San Marzano and I find them brilliant but they're a bit expensive at €1.79 a can.

I've tried a few cheaper San Marzano tins from different shops and altho much cheaper, none are as good as the Dunnes. I find a lot of them very watery, even if they have a low juice content.

Another plus one for the pizza sauce, the connivance and the fact it tastes good makes it a simple solution for me.

Yeah also a big fan of the mutti pizza sauce, especially the smaller double pack of cans they do so I don't have to worry about wasting half a normal can if im only making 2-3 pizzas.

Mutti 🤩🤩

nice where did u get the seeds?

I have a wood-only Ooni Fyra 12 and have had a problem from the start. I'm usually doing 5 or 6 large pizzas and have noted that, while it's piping hot for the first few and they're done quickly, by the time I get to the last two or so it's much cooler and they take at least twice as long and aren't crispy, especially under the base. It seemed to improve a bit when I started jiggliing the pellet feeder chimney every so often, to get the ash to settle, but looking in at the feed tray the last time, there was previous little ash actually falling through. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I'm wondering if the last wood pellets I got (https://www.heavins.ie/p/wood-pellets-15kg/10377) are too large, compared to the Ooni ones I bought with it? I'm considering bending the grill base of the feed tray somehow to try and get the ash to fall through better.

There's also an issue when it's windy and I can see the flame blowing out the back of it instead of forwards over the pizza but I suppose nothing much can be done about this.

Need to keep topping up the Fyra really. Two person job.

Yeah I've got good at that so it's not an issue really, just the ash below clogging up things.

Ooni Koda 16 Gas Pizza Oven - used like new condition, 30% off on amazon warehouse so it's about €378. Sale ends at midnight tonight though

did you make that yourself or buy it - and if you bought it, where from?

Has anyone any recommendations for good quality and value kiln dried wood suitable for ooni karu 12? Based in Dublin. Thanks.
