    This is great Tom, I followed your lead and did a cook last night with charcoal and just a little wood for the big heat. So much easier to control the heat with the lump charcoal. Great tip and video. Thanks

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  3 года назад

      It’s always great to hear my videos have helped someone out so thanks very much for letting me know! Charcoal is usually my go too, for pizza cooks but I’m also going to try bread cook soon! So charcoal will be good for that too!

      ​@@TomVoyageukhi Tom I was wondering do you know if this will accept moderately sized peices of wood such as the bags of wood from b and m? I currently have the karu 12 it's really annoying I have to cut the wood in 2 peices each time and was wondering with the karu 16 maybe they could in as one of peice? Thanks

    Awesome. You might want to get an additional small round peel to be able to turn the pizza directly inside the oven without needing to take it out.

    Greetings from the US, thanks for the video I’ve been wanting to get an outdoor pizza oven and I don’t want to use gas. I’ve cooked with wood many times and found spikes and lulls in temperature as you did. I have the Keter stand that you are using it was great to see the size of the Karu. Cheers!

    Hi Tom. This was an excellent and very helpful video, thank you. I was wondering if you could provide a source for the cart the oven is sitting on? Carts etc are often an afterthought, but important that they are both weatherproof, heatproof, mobile with a place to hang things and store the peel etc. Thanks, even if you cannot provide the source of your cart!

  • @chris2ferUtoob
    @chris2ferUtoob 2 года назад +3

    I did my first test run by just bringing it up to temp with just wood. I also found that using wood alone made the heat fluctuate quickly and also created a lot of soot. I agree that its best to use a base of charcoal.

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  2 года назад +1

      I've cooked loads of times and always find that way works the best, using wood only takes a lot of maintenance, and often requires you to be with the oven at all times to monitor it.

    Hi Tom! Awesome video! I own a Karu 12 and been using it with wood ever since. The only downside with Karu 12 so far is that the pizza stone needs a significant amount of time to recharge after every pizza.
    Do you have any experience of baking pizzas back to back with Karu 16 with solid fuel? Please share yours! 😊

    • @vtreglia86
      @vtreglia86 11 месяцев назад

      I just used the Karu 16 for the first time. It was 44 degrees Fahrenheit and we made 14 pies over the span of 2 hours. We did not really see a big drop in temperature right away, but we had a nice pace while making pizza. I do wish that it came with a thinker stone to hold the heat better.

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  3 месяца назад

      Generally just use charcoal and wood mix to produce less smoke and clean it off with a dry cloth once it’s cooled down.
      Did it once when hot and the fibres on the cloth melted to the glass so don’t do that

It looks a pretty good bit of kit for the money and I know someone at work who has one and really reckons it. It would be really cool if you did a review one day as a comparison 🤔

    Why don't you use one of those smaller, round peels to rotate your pizza while it is still in the oven? It allows you rotate quickly without pulling the pizza out plus you don't burn your fingers on hot crust.

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  3 года назад

      I would say yes, if you plan to cook more than just pizza in the oven. With the temp gauges and the glass door making this a little more versatile and easier to use as an actual oven rather than just a pizza oven. Thats not tot he stay the ooni pro inst a brilliant oven though!

    Hi thanks for your great videos.
    Im a subscriber.
    I ordered the karu 16.
    Don't have enough for a table yet.
    I'm wondering do the legs get hot ?
    Would it be ok to cook in the oven as it sits on top of one of those 6 foot plastic folding plastic tables from Walmart, Costco, etc.
    Would it melt the table or is it ok because the legs stay cool and not much heat radiates from the bottom of the oven or from anywhere which would be enough to melt the plastic table ?
    Thanks.
    Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon.

      To answer your question, no the legs don't get very hot, just warm. I use mine on a plastic table sometimes with no issues what so ever (just be careful not to drop coal or lit wood on it)
      But other than that its fine to use. Like any fire, just don't leave un attended

    Tom - how do you get the pizza to slide off the tray so easily the first time? We used our Ooni Karu 16 for the first time last night cooking 3 pizzas and the pizza would not slide off and we needed to use a spatula that first time to get it all off. We did find by using some flour on the tray for the next pizza it helped, but not much. Also, we used wood only but I do like the charcoal wood combo as the wood cooked fast and we had to use a lot of it. Thanks!

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  2 года назад +1

      Hi Hank! Thanks for the comment! I always tend to use a mixture of charcoal and wood just to give a nice hot base temp. A few tips to help you're pizza stop sticking, is firstly use plenty of flour until you get used to it, i usually use a mixture of flour and semolina. Secondly, Don't leave the pizza on the peel too long, make the pizza on a work top and only use the peel to move it from the top to the oven. Also, make sure your pizza peel is cool, i often find they stick to the dough if they have been in the oven a while and are still hot! Hope this helps.

    I had zero idea how to use wood and charcoal with this oven. But I tried it when I did the burn in because I was still waiting for the gas burner to come in the mail. I ended up leaving the fuel hatch off and it stayed around the temps I like for NY pizzas which is the style I make 99% of the time. I think it maxed out at 650f and I didn't have to fiddle with the vent or chimey opening. It could have just been dumb luck because I didn't really pay attention to how much wood chunks and charcoal I used. I might have to try again to see if I could duplicate it lol.

    • @TomVoyageuk

    A question: is there a taste difference making pizza on the Ooni or the KamadoJoe? Or is the only difference the speed?

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for the comment Stefan! The difference isn't so much in the taste, but how the pizza is cooked. With the Kamado, all the heat comes from below, So you get a very crispy base, but the top doesn't get that charring that a rolling flame over the Ooni will give. Not to mention, to get the ooni up to temp costs one small ammount of fuel, and 20 minutes, the kamado takes lots of fuel to heat it up that hot and takes over an hour to fully saturate with heat!

The dough I'm using for this this first pizza has a 64% hydration, so I'm thinking I might want the stone to be in the 625F to 650F to start and adjust it as I go.

    • @TomVoyageuk
      @TomVoyageuk  Год назад

      Hi, thanks for the comment! I usually go for 450c (about 850f) for high hydration dough, especially if your flour is 00 flour and designed for high temp cooks. if you're new to this though, 650f is fine to get a feel for the oven and will give more of a even bake than leopard crust, still taste good though!

    Tom, just seen your video while contemplating upgrading to the 16. Great video, the only note I have, is that you seem to have the oven with the wind blowing towards the front of the oven rather than coming from the back. After having Oonis for several years, I know how sensitive they are to that and will really affect your temps. And can double the length of time it takes to heat up.

      Thanks for the question, I feel charcoal gives a very consistent temperature and is easier to maintain a lower heat for cooking meat, or bread for example.
      I’ll generally use gas if I want an easy pizza cook, when we have friends over for example, and wood when I have the time to tend to the fire and keep it hot.
      Gas would also be handy for cooking things other than pizza but I’m not sure what kids of temps the low flame would give, if it was an oven temp of around 200c that would be ideal!
