Ooni Karu 2 | How to Cook Pizza in Freezing Temperatures.

Hi! Join our pizza cooking journey using the Ooni Karu 2 (formerly known as the Ooni Karu 12G). Can you still get a perfect Neapolitan pizza when it's freezing outside? In this video, I’m firing up the Ooni Karu 2 on a misty, icy morning to show you how to manage a wood-fired bake in low temperatures. Cooking in the cold changes everything—from how the chimney draws to how fast your stone reaches temperature. I'll take you through the entire process, including a few "oops" moments with the wood fuel and how to save the bake with a pizza peel! In this winter wood-fired session, you’ll see: Cold Start Tips: How to manage the fire and chimney when the air is heavy and misty. Fuel Management: Dealing with wood placement and ensuring no "gaps" in your fuel tray for consistent heat. Temperature Monitoring: Using the built-in thermometer vs. an infrared gun in freezing weather. The Quick Bake: Watch a real-time bake where every second counts to avoid the "Turn Don't Burn" disaster. Pizza Goals: A look ahead at what's coming to the channel this year! Whether you’re a wood-fired purist or just learning your Ooni, these tips will help you master the flame even in the dead of winter. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAJrK6Iol_EskBG92-jnZYAF0VB036hbS I hope you enjoy this video, thank you so much for being here, I really appreciate you! ✨☕️ If you would like to support Got2EatPizza or you would like to buy me a coffee you are welcome to donate to my paypal account: 🍕 https://www.paypal.me/got2eatpizza OVENS & ACCESSORIES HERE!: US Ooni official store https://tidd.ly/4eN1mYK UK Ooni official store https://tidd.ly/4eQjBgN AMAZON LINKS: ⇢* NINJA 8 in 1 Woodfire Oven: https://amzn.to/47Jp18A ⇢* Mini Wooden Pizza Roller - https://amzn.to/31TJAgp (helps stretch the pizza) ⇢* 12" Wooden Pizza Peel - https://amzn.to/2nQfKvs (for the 12" Pizza Ovens) ⇢* 15" Wider Wooden Pizza Peel - https://amzn.to/3rXxlwB (for the 16" Pizza Ovens) ⇢* Laser Temperature Thermometer - https://amzn.to/2VKRQhB (for every oven!)
