Lighting & Extinguishing – Wood or Charcoal
Ooni Karu comes with a wood and charcoal burner as a standard. Only use charcoal that is suitable for cooking and do not cook food until the fuel has a coating of ash. When cooking with wood, use pieces of dry, non-treated hardwood (up to 20 cm (8”) long and 4 cm (1.5”) in diame-ter) in the burner.
To light your Ooni Karu with either wood or charcoal:
Remove the chimney cap, open the chimney and ceiling vents and attach required
door.
Remove the hatch and place a layer of charcoal or a small stack of wood in the
charcoal/wood burner. Use a gas blowtorch or a natural fire-lighter to light
the wood.
Once there is a fire going, slowly add more fuel. Replace the hatch and leave
Ooni Karu to pre-heat for 10-20 minutes. Add more fuel as needed.
Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting. Use only fire-
lighters complying to
EN 1860-3.
To extinguish
Let the fire burn down naturally and leave Ooni Karu to cool. Do not remove
ashes until Ooni Karu has cooled completely.
