Karu 2 Pro 16" Multi-fuel Pizza Oven
Product Description
The Karu 2 Pro expands what a portable outdoor oven can do by giving you full control over fuel choice. You can cook with wood or charcoal for traditional flavor or switch to an optional gas burner attachment when you want quick ignition and steady heat. With its 17-inch cooking area, the oven can handle 16-inch pizzas, large cuts of meat, or cast-iron dishes that benefit from high heat.
The oven reaches up to roughly 950°F, enabling fast Neapolitan-style pizza bakes in about 60 seconds. Its borosilicate glass door incorporates ClearView technology to help keep the viewing window free of soot, so you can monitor crust rise and topping melt without opening the oven. Inside, patented Flame Keeper airflow improves heat distribution to support even cooking across the cordierite stone.
The Bluetooth-enabled Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub delivers real-time air temperature readings directly to your phone. The included food probe adds internal temperature monitoring for proteins, helping reduce guesswork during multi-step cooks. The carbon steel shell, powder-coated exterior, and multi-layer insulation maintain heat effectively while standing up to outdoor environments.
Cleanup is minimal. High temperatures naturally carbonize spills on the stone, while the removable fuel tray allows simple ash disposal after cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What fuels can I use with the Karu 2 Pro?
A1. The oven supports wood and charcoal by default. A compatible gas burner attachment is available separately for propane use.
Q2. How does the ClearView glass door help during cooking?
A2. The borosilicate glass and engineered airflow reduce soot buildup, allowing you to watch the pizza without opening the door and releasing heat.
Q3. Can I monitor temperatures remotely?
A3. Yes. The Ooni Connect Digital Temperature Hub sends ambient oven readings to your phone and supports a digital food probe for internal temperatures.
Q4. Is the Karu 2 Pro suitable for more than pizza?
A4. The heat output and interior size make it capable of roasting chicken, searing steaks, baking breads, or cooking cast-iron dishes.
Q5. How do I handle cleanup after cooking?
A5. Residue on the stone burns off at high heat. Once cool, any remaining ash can be removed using the detachable fuel tray.
Practical Note
When using wood or charcoal, preheat the oven fully to allow the Flame Keeper airflow system to stabilize internal temperature. Using the temperature hub to monitor stone and air temperature helps with timing launches and balancing fuel additions.
