Karu 2 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven
Product Description
The Karu 2 delivers authentic fire-cooked flavor and flexible fuel choice in a smaller footprint—ideal for patios, tailgates, or compact outdoor kitchens. Whether you opt to burn wood or charcoal for traditional flame-touch flavor, or switch to the optional gas burner for plug-in convenience, the Karu 2 adapts to your cooking style.
It reaches up to around 950 °F, enabling stone-baked pizzas in about 60 seconds. A ClearView™ borosilicate glass door gives you full visibility of your cook and features technology to help reduce soot build-up so you can monitor your crust and toppings without opening the door. The enlarged fuel tray and efficient fuel burn help maintain high heat with less effort.
With a weight of around 34 lb and folding legs, the Karu 2 is designed for mobility: set it up in minutes, cook like a pro, and store it easily when you’re done. Thanks to its high-heat design, cleanup is minimal—after a cook, run the oven hot briefly to burn off residue, then brush or wipe the stone and ash tray.

Practical Note
For consistent performance, let the oven preheat fully and maintain a steady fuel burn. Use the ClearView door to track progress without opening and losing heat. When using charcoal or wood, rotate your load to support an even stone surface temperature.
