The first time you pull a pizza out of a wood-fired oven after sixty seconds, blistered and smoky, your home oven is finished. The Karu 12 is that oven in a size you carry with one hand: fold the legs, fit the chimney, and it works on a balcony as well as at a campsite. Ceramic-fibre insulation holds the heat, so the stone recovers fast between pizzas.
The LADJA team uses it for:
- Neapolitan pizzas on trips into the countryside
- Charring hot peppers while the stone reheats
- Pizza night round after round, without waiting for the stone
"Wood or gas?" Wood for the smoke and the theatre. Gas for a Tuesday. This one does both, with the burner sold separately.
