Know before you buy
Yes, the Ooni Karu 2 Pro is designed for fuel flexibility. You can use the included wood and charcoal burner tray for traditional flavor or purchase the optional gas burner attachment for a more controlled, convenient cooking experience.
The integrated digital hub connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth to provide real-time temperature readings. It also includes a food probe, which is particularly useful for monitoring the internal temperature of larger items like roast chickens or thick steaks.
The door features an airwash effect designed to minimize soot buildup during high-heat cooking. While some light residue may occur over time, this airflow system helps keep the glass clear so you can monitor your pizza without opening the door and losing heat.
The 17-inch cooking surface is specifically designed to accommodate pizzas up to 16 inches in diameter. This extra space also provides enough room to maneuver the pizza for an even bake.
The oven features a self-cleaning function where high heat burns off excess food residue. For ash disposal, the unit is designed with an easy-access tray that allows you to quickly empty cooled ashes once the oven has fully cooled down.
While preheat times vary based on the fuel type and ambient weather conditions, the Karu 2 Pro is engineered for rapid heat-up. Once at temperature, it can cook a 16-inch pizza in as little as 60 seconds.
