The latest evolution of the Karu family arrives with a cordierite stone and thermometer as standard. Refined real combustion for the most demanding fire cook.
The Karu 2 is the update to Ooni's multi-fuel oven, made for the cook who already knows what they want from wood fire. It comes with a quality cordierite stone and a built-in thermometer as standard, so you head out to cook with everything ready to chase the wood-flavoured Neapolitan from day one. It's the most finely tuned Karu to date.
It keeps the range's soul: wood and charcoal for the aroma of real combustion, optional gas for weeknight convenience. What changes is the degree of polish. The materials and heat retention are dialled so the oven recovers quickly between pizzas, key when you're cooking in batches for a table that keeps ordering.
Against a kamado, the Karu 2 is the fire companion that shares philosophy but not function. The kamado keeps the long ember and deep smoking; the Karu 2 brings the 500 °C wood oven with the stone base that defines a good pizza. For the fire enthusiast who already owns ceramic, it's the piece that closes the circle.
The most refined Karu yet: stone and thermometer as standard raise the wood experience without complicating it. A very solid buy for the fire lover.

Frequently asked questions
What comes with the Karu 2 as standard?
It includes a cordierite stone and a built-in thermometer, so it's ready to cook a wood-flavoured Neapolitan without adding basic accessories.
What fuels does it take?
Wood and charcoal as standard and gas with an optional adapter sold separately. You can alternate depending on whether you want flavour or speed.
Why does heat recovery matter?
When you cook several pizzas back to back, the oven needs to return to temperature quickly. Good recovery reduces the wait between pies in a long batch.
How is it maintained?
Remove the cold ash, dry-brush the stone, and burn off stains with the oven's own heat. Clean the glass cold with a damp cloth.
Is it a good match for a kamado?
Yes: it shares the respect for real fire and covers 500 °C wood pizza, while the kamado keeps its dominance in long ember and smoking.
