    For sure - 200+ pizzas later and they’re the key things. One other interesting thing is the amount of dough. It’s extremely difficult to get 12” out of 160g that ooni recommends, especially for a beginner. However, if you decided you were going to go 300g you will run into the same issue with overtopping - raw dough at either the centre or the middle of the cornicione.

    Would love a koda 16, but it’s very difficult to handle/manage anything bigger than 12 inches!

    I was doing 10"ers, more square than circular last night ! :D

    Only reason id buy a 16" is the two sided flame and just more space inside to rotate a 12".

    We "got" one as a Christmas present from our sons. It was supposed to arrive on December 18th but seems to be stuck in the Netherlands for the time being.
    I'm using the time to do my research on dough, methods and accessories. Could become an expensive present.

    Mine is also coming from the Nederlands, expected now in March. It's probably on the same lorry as our Covid vaccines.

    I'm using the waiting time to make charcoal. It's simple: I put sticks (cherry, apple) or bits of firewood in an old Le Creuset casserole pot and then put it in the red embers of the stove. It's vital that the lid is propped open with a nail or similar and as the gas escapes, it makes a lovely flame. Before bed I pull out the nail and shut down the stove.

    Charcoal is lethal if burned indoors.

    The gas burner for the Karu is sold out at the moment which is a pain.
    Has anyone bought the perforated peel and is it worth it and also they infrared thermometer, is it really required?

    IR thermometer is a must in my opinion, it’s guesswork otherwise to get correct temps for cooking different things and pizza styles. Get one from Amazon for 20+ quid just make sure it can do up to 550C

    When I get a chance I will get a perforated peel, it’s much easy to prevent dough sticking etc due to lower surface area. IMO so far ooni stuff is worth the money so will probably go with theirs.

    Thank you Pipmae and Newtown90. I thought you may say as much! My wife is an Italian coeliac ( the cruelty!) and we make pizza and pasta a few times a week. I personally think the Schär Mix B Mix Pane (called Universal in Ireland) is the best flour for GF pizza dough but the Caputo which we tried once was also excellent. The Schär dough cooked in a rectangular pan comes out like a proper Sicilian Nonna pie :) Btw SuperValu is the only supermarket I know if that sells the Schär Universal Flour in the yellow plastic bag.

    Sent you a PM LaLa2004.

    Hey - could you please send me the gf pizza base recipe please? Thanks

    Perfect, thanks Pete.... that kinda makes my mind up to go the whole hog.
    Has anyone used charcoal briquettes with the Karu and do you stick a log of hardwood on top just before cooking to get a good flame?

    Perfect , I will have a look...
    I bought the 12’ Karu, cover, perforated peel and thermometer.
    I will get the gas burner when in stock and I was going to get the grill plate now but will wait and get it with the gas burner to get the free delivery

    Well it looks like I owe Pete123456 another thank you as his advice pushed me to buy the Karu and some accessories last night and when I check the EU site now it looks like all the ovens have increased in price with the Karu and Koda by about 25% from €279 to €349, so an increase of €70 which defo would have put me off.

    I ordered a 12" Karu, carry-case, 12" peel and a "cooking with fire" recipe book.

    Everything except the actual oven itself has been delivered. Ordered 26th November and everything delivered in the past week / 10 days.

    Yeah, that is an absolute pisser as 25% is a fairly hefty increase although if you do use Thephantomsmask's referral code you at least get 10% off everything that you order.

    That's mad. I got a heavy parcel so thought it was the oven... just opened it there after reading this and it's just the sizzler plate... And delivered by some lad in a car.

    That being said I did see on my tracking that there are two parcels so maybe he'll be back.

    I ordered this last week with the phantoms referral (thanks) before the price increase, but as they are not to be delivered until March could I be hit with duty or VAT?

    jaysis 70 euro is quite a price hike, that would put you off. Also the Koda 16 is now 500 euro, pretty sure it used to be 400. Wonder whats behind it, maybe they are planning a 'sale' in February so are jacking prices now to reduce them later

    Seen comments from Ooni on social media saying its due to an increase in the price of steel and logistics!

    I have the Karu and its a great oven but i don't think i would pay over €300 for it now ,im thinking about upgrading myself for the summer either the pro or 16 but ill wait and see over the next few months.

    Quick question. I recently got an ooni and was going out to fire it up for the first time. I got a butane tank and was going to blast it up. The connection for not fit. Is the propane and butane connections different?

    I am not a registered has installer and I'm not totally familiar with the different valves, but I think that you can just cut a gas attachment for Butane Vs Propane and attach generally speaking. This might work for Ooni.

    (Don't do if in doubt, this is just an idea)

    Yep the ooni comes with a patio gas regulator. which has propane inside the canister. So either buy a patio gas 11kg bottle or as previous poster says change the regulator. ooni do advise to only use propane though. Burns hotter I think.

    Of course it will, if it got super cold (-10 or colder) you will have trouble with butane but luckily they recommend propane. The issue you might have (and this applies to summer also) is wind. To much wind or rain is going to prevent it from heating up as efficiently or getting as hot if the flame is all over the place.

    Have a look at the pizza oven forum, a lot of us have oonis and use them a lot

    I was using my Karu with charcoal last week when it was -2 out didn't seem any slower. Stone was over 500 with IR thermometer. Helps that it was a still night as Pete said the wind is a bigger issue. Saying that I've used mine on pretty breezy days but I have panels on my decking that help block it a bit.

    Sorry my mistake - hadn’t had my coffee. :o it’s still worth having a flick through the pizza oven forum, I did a lot of research and I went with gas for convenience, the difference in the pizzas is not noticeable.

    Wind is still your enemy and you’ll need good quality hardwood. If you have a sheltered place and good quality wood and some time to get it going, you should have no problem at all in winter :)

    You need to get patio gas canister rather than that one. calor is grey, flogas is cream. 11kg size. The gas is still propane in the patio gas.

    Used ours a few times over Xmas. The pellets light handy enough.

    You can use that but you need to get a propane regulator. The gas inside is the same as in a patio gas canister but the regulator fitting is different as it's a screw on type vs the push down type on patio gas.

    Hi

    Sorry for asking a stupid question but....I'm going to anyway!!

    I ordered the Ooni Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven (37mbar) - I just assumed i could use my usual calor gas connection and cannister that I use for my weber - is it a different connection and cannister I need to use with this?

    Thanks in advance.
