The Ooni Karu 16 brings advanced cooking technology to outdoor culinary spaces, offering the flexibility of multiple fuel sources including wood, charcoal, or gas with an optional burner (sold separately). This oven is designed to reach an impressive 150°C (950°F) in just 15 min., allowing for the production of authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas in 60 sec. The oversized cooking area is large enough to accommodate 16" pizzas, making it a powerful choice for backyard entertaining or small-scale outdoor catering events.

A key advancement in this model is the ViewFlame technology, featuring a full glass oven door that allows the chef to monitor the bake without releasing heat. The integrated digital thermometer provides real-time internal temperature readings, ensuring precise heat management for different styles of dough. Constructed with a carbon steel shell and a high-temperature resistant finish, the Karu 16 is built to withstand the elements while maintaining superior heat retention through its thick cordierite baking stone.

The optimized airflow design ensures that the flame rolls over the top of the pizza, creating the perfect "leopard spotting" on the crust and melting toppings evenly. For chefs who value versatility, the ability to switch between traditional wood-fired flavors and the convenience of propane gas makes this oven a highly adaptable tool. Its professional aesthetic and high-capacity output make it a centerpiece for any outdoor kitchen setup.
