Can I use my Ooni Karu 12 in adverse weather?

Can I use my Ooni Karu 12 in the cold?

• Yes - The Ooni Karu 12 can still be used in the cold, however, in colder climates and times of the year, the baking stone will take longer to heat up.
• We don’t suggest using butane in cold weather as butane has a low freezing point. If using your oven with the gas burner in cold weather, use propane.
  
  

Can I use my Ooni Karu 12 in rain or snow?

• Yes - rain or snow won’t affect the way your Ooni Karu 12 performs.
• If leaving your Ooni Karu 12 outside in wet weather, make sure you store it under a carry cover. Make sure you also place the chimney cap on your chimney to prevent rain or snow from entering your oven.

Can I use my Ooni Karu 12 in windy conditions?

• We don’t advise using your Ooni Karu 12 in overly windy conditions.
• If wind is unavoidable, position your oven so that wind flows against the back of the oven (always avoid wind blowing directly into the front of your oven).
  
  

Can I use my Ooni Karu 12 at high altitudes?

• High altitudes may affect your oven’s performance. You may notice lower gas pressure and weaker flames. If so, allow your oven a little bit longer to preheat.
• Due to this, the oven may not get to the advertised temperatures.
