About the Ooni Karu 12G
The Karu 12G is Ooni's multi-fuel 12 inch oven: burn wood or charcoal for a live flame, or bolt on the gas burner for hands-off heat. It hits 950F in about 15 minutes and, unlike earlier Karus, adds a glass door and a built-in thermometer so you can watch the bake and read the stone.
Multi-fuel means you decide the trade each time you cook: wood for flavor and a bit of theater, gas for a quick weeknight pizza. The 12 inch stone keeps you to personal pizzas, and wood firing has the usual learning curve of feeding the fire while you cook.

Common questions
Can the Ooni Karu 12G run on gas?
Yes, with the separately sold gas burner attachment. Out of the box it burns wood and charcoal; adding the burner gives you the quick, steady heat of a gas oven when you do not want to tend a fire. Many owners keep both and switch by mood.
What is the difference between the Karu 12 and Karu 12G?
The 12G adds a glass door and an integrated digital thermometer over the original Karu 12, so you can see the pizza and read the stone temperature without an infrared gun. Both are 12 inch multi-fuel ovens reaching 950F.
