Benefits
Lighting a base layer of charcoal keeps a steady, even
temperature; adding wood will give a burst of heat and
wood-fired flavor, which is perfect for pizza.
See page 16 for lighting instructions.
Cooking with wood alone is the fuel of choice for Neapolitan
pizza purists. Wood is also ideal for any food that enjoys a fast
cooking time, such as steak, fish and vegetables.
Use quality fuel, kiln dried hardwood (wet wood, greenwood,
softwood will cause excess smoke and poor performance.
We always use Ooni Premium Hardwood.
See page 16 for lighting instructions.
Bake amazing bread, meat and more with charcoal. We love the
option for low and slow cooking with charcoal and it gives you
the option to bake thicker-crust and deeper-dish pizza.
Charcoal will give a base temperature without excess flame.
We always use Ooni Premium Lumpwood charcoal.
See page 18 for lighting instructions.
For cooking with ultimate speed and reaching super-high
temperatures very quickly, use the Ooni Gas Burner to create
the ideal temperature for cooking pizza and so much more.
See page 20 for lighting instructions.
