Can I use my Ooni Karu 16 in adverse weather?

Yes - The Ooni Karu 16 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.

Leaving ovens uncovered in cold/wet periods - can take longer to pre-heat.

Can I use my Ooni Karu 16 in rain or snow? 

Yes - rain or snow won’t affect the way your Ooni Karu 16 performs. 

If leaving your Ooni Karu 16 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 16 in windy conditions? 

We don’t advise using your Ooni Karu 16 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 16 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.
