Our analysis

Add propane without giving up the solid-fuel oven

The burner attaches to the rear of a Karu 12, Karu 12G or Karu 2. Ooni rates it at 5.3kW and states that it can heat the oven to 850°F in 25 minutes.

Choose the right version

Door rules differ by oven generation

Karu 12 must run with its door off and chimney on. Karu 12G and Karu 2 may use the closed glass door, with the gas burner fitted as instructed.

Compatibility: Ooni Karu 12, Karu 12G and Karu 2, with model-specific door and chimney instructions.
