Ooni Karu Wood/Charcoal Pizza Oven -- Lessons Learned with Fire Management

Ойындар

There are plenty of videos about the popular gas-fired and wood pellet Ooni ovens, but not a lot of videos about the Ooni Karu wood/charcoal-fired pizza oven. It takes a little more fiddling and knowing your wood, so I made this video going over the different fuels you can use and what it takes to get the oven up to that ideal 700°F (370°C) temperature for thin crust pizza or even higher for Neapolitan style.

    Wow. 57k views! Yes, the fire grate is backwards. Thanks for the notes on that! And yes my pizza dough was not well-shaped. I now produce round pizzas with a good shoulder around the edges. As for cutting down wood to the desired size, I've been shopping for a small log splitter. I tried an axe and gained new respect for woodcutters who can hit the dead center of a log nearly every time, rather than 5 inches to the left or right!!

    To Morgan Feldon: Easiest way to stock up with a nice variety of different types of wood? 1) I go to the Home Depot, BBQ section, and buy the large bags of wood chunks, eg. pecan, apple, hickory, mesquite. You showed us your Oakwood bottom of the bag small chunks/leftover chips. 2) I then went over to the Home Depot, tool section, and bought a one hand short handle axe for $25. Place proper support underneath, and easily chop/axe the apple wood chunks to desired size. Experts advise me Applewood burns the hottest! Thanks, and Enjoy your Pizza!

    Nice video. Your fire box is set up incorrectly. The open hole does go the back, but the inner tray needs to be angle down towards the front. When angled to the front, nothing falls out of the back (rectangular hole), so no need for aluminum tray underneath. And, you get get better airflow when angled to the down to the front. Better draft, better fire, better heat.

    @@wcpportfolio Hi Ryan. It's working out awesome! I've used propane, wood, and as of today, natural gas. I finally got it sorted out and drew from the BBQ gas line so that I can use lots of natural gas. I have to say that at 90 seconds to 2 min's in there w/wood, you really don't taste the wood flavor in the pizza and the oven gets filled with soot. I will probably not use the wood fire that much and stick with the (much easier) gas. The wood is very easy to start and maintain, though. I make mine Neapolitan style.

    FANTASTIC and informative video! I wish I would have seen this before my first 4 bakes! The stone temperature, I have found, is possibly the most important aspect of making pizzas in this oven. I disagree- the thermometer is a MUST to verify stone temp. Thank you for breaking down the different fuel types and pointing out the crucial information that the lump charcoal burns much cooler than the wood (for all of us that are not used to smoking). You absolutely have to add the hard wood to get the rolling flames on the top that are the real heating element of the oven. Without the rolling flames your stone WILL NOT get to the desired temp. Definitely a learning curve with this oven but worth the process! Thanks again!

    Sounds like for the cost of one bag of wood, some lump charcoal, and an axe (I’ve already got the hammer to break down the lump charcoal) I can be up and running pretty well. Thanks for the video, I’m heavily considering buying a karu Edit: I bought the karu 12 and it’s awesome. I’ve been running chips (too lazy to buy a splitting hatchet for chunks at the moment) and they work really well, I’m just looking for a cheaper way to get chips and chunks. I get about 2 pizzas per handful (the second pizza cooks a little slower but it’s no sweat, I’m firing the first at 850 and the second by 700ish. If you add more chips when you notice temps dropping you won’t lose any heat). I may pop my head over to my local lumber yard and see if they have anything worth while. Also for larger lump, I’ve just been smacking it against the ground in a plastic bag because I’ve misplaced my hammer, it works quite well.

  • @feldon27

    Charcoal will maintain the oven around 600°F. Wood brings it to 700-900°F plus adding the wood smoke flavor. If you really want Neapolitan pizza, you need a high temp of 900°F for 60 seconds. The dough must be extremely thin, with wet tomato sauce and sliced wet mozzarella and without the typical American toppings. The 900°F heat is necessary to dry out the wet mozzarella. Personally, the pizza I make is New York thin crust style pizza at 700°F for 90 seconds. I use whole milk low moisture mozzarella and a less wet tomato sauce. And I can put any toppings I want!

    I use an Big Green Egg to make Pizza. The main problem is that you can burn the bottom. 650 is the right temp. Higher than that, you burn it. So I'm looking into a smaller oven like an ooni, but what I see is that the bottom doesn't brown up. Everyone burns the top and edges and the bottom is under cooked. I've seen some hacks that use a rotator to keep it moving. Sounds like a good option. Also, I don't like all these small 12" models. I would prefer a 16" to handle a 14" pizza.

    There's a pizza place here in town that is proud of cooking their pizzas at 900°F. They also have a very thin crust, light toppings, and the pizza spends about 60 seconds in the oven. I think you will be surprised at the pizza you get with a properly preheated pizza stone at 700-750°F and disappointed if you stay under 650°F. The Ooni and BGE are different. Also I'm not looking for the bottom to "brown". Of course you want it cooked so there's no raw dough. But on my best pizzas, the bottom is crispy and done, but it isn't "brown". The reason the top and crust browns is that they are in close contact with the intermittent flames. With experience, you can get leoparding which is controlled browning of the crust edge. If you want the bottom brown, you'd probably have to add baking soda or something.

    Go to a pizzeria (a real one) and they use a wooden peel with cornmeal or flour and build on the peel… they turn and remove with metal peel. Either way, always best to build on the peel and do it quickly.

    You need to let the stone warmup longer - the bottom of your pizza was white

    Your firebox is in the oven backwards. It should be slanted to the front of the oven that way the ash doesn't fall.out of the oven

    Never put 00 flour on a peel. That’s why your stone is black. Semolina and use a perforated peel for best results.

    If you're cooking with large flame you need a stone somewhere around 820F. Don't go much above 850 or your pizza will scorch. If you are cooking without flame or smaller flame, something like 700-800 is good depending on flame size. A ny style pizza you can launch at around 700 flame.

    OOni is overrated as hell. Buy a stone, put it on your gas grill or wood smoker and be done with it. Never can get it hot enough to do anything but waste a good pizza that could have been cooked better in the oven.
