Ooni Karu 12

The cheapest Ooni that burns wood.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants to bake over wood and finds the fire-tending part of the fun.

The Karu 12 is the entry model with a wood fire. You burn wood or charcoal, and with the separately sold gas burner you can turn it into a gas oven after all. That combination makes it the most versatile oven under three hundred euros.

A wood fire gives you something gas does not: smoke flavour, and the irregular, fierce flame that puts the characteristic black blisters on the crust. The trade is work — you light it, feed the fire between pizzas, and clear out ash afterwards.

With no built-in thermometer and no glass door, this is the most stripped-back version. Anyone who wants the comfort of the Karu 2 pays a hundred euros more.

Strong

  • The lowest price for an oven with wood flavour
  • Convertible to gas later with the separate burner
  • Stainless steel body that stands up to the weather

Weak

  • Tending the fire mid-bake takes attention
  • No glass door, so you open it to look
  • The gas burner is a serious surcharge on top of the oven

Accessories that fit this model

What you need with the Ooni Karu 12, and what can wait. Only what fits this size.

Ooni 12" perforated pizza peel

The holes let flour fall through, so the pizza slides off the peel instead of sticking to it. If one thing saves your first evening, it is this.

€64.70

At bol
Ooni infrared thermometer

Reads the temperature of the stone in a second, which is the temperature that decides a pizza. The Connect hub included with the Koda 2 Max, Koda 2 Pro and Karu 2 Pro measures air and meat core temperature, not the stone, so it is not a substitute.

Ooni gas burner for Karu

Turns any Karu into a gas oven. Most useful if you want to bake quickly midweek and save the wood fire for the weekend.

€97.99

At bol
Ooni pizza cutter

A wheel cuts through a thin base without dragging the toppings along with it, which a knife does. Small thing, noticeable on the first pizza you cut.

€29.50

At bol
Ooni oven gloves

Ooni oven gloves

recommended

The outside of an oven running at 500 degrees is not something to handle with a tea towel. These are made for the size and the heat of a pizza oven.
