How to Light Your Ooni Karu 12 - Wood Only

I've had the amazing Ooni Karu 12 for 3 years now and thought it was about time to update you with my processes for lighting the oven and bringing it up to temperature.

This method shows you how I light and heat up the oven using just kiln dried oak kindling. This is the purist's method for wood fired pizza - the method I recommend for those who love playing with fire, and enjoy the atmosphere created by sweet smelling oak smoke.

I used to fall into the marketing hype around getting the oven to temperature as quickly as possible, but using my experience with wood fired ovens I've realised that even with an Ooni, there are benefits from taking a little longer and saturating the oven with heat. The main benefit is a faster recovery time between pizzas, so if you do find the stone takes a little longer to heat back up between pizzas, then extend the heat up time to 30 minutes.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask any questions in the comments and I'll help however I can!
