Ooni Fyra 12 Australia

One of my favorite parts of cooking and eating outdoors is how little cleanup there can be. Not so with the Fyra 12, where soot buildup is a common occurrence (even with a well-oxygenated flame). There isn't just one thing to wipe down, either. The Fyra 12 has two chimneys — one for smoke, the other for pellet-loading — each with various removable parts, and all of them are filthy after a cook. Thankfully, the pizza stone itself stays relatively clean, requiring little more than a quick wipedown after use.

What they it's all feel, and the learning curve is steep. My theory: a lot of that comes down to the small fire box mentioned in the previous section.

Ooni Fyra is great fun. Many potential buyers will be happy to pay more for the Ooni Fyra.

When I first unpacked the Ooni Fyra pizza oven, I was surprised by how small it looked but this has definitely turned out to be its main advantage. It’s incredibly lightweight and portable, plus it’s small enough to sit perfectly on top of our raised planting table, which also doubles up as an outdoor kitchen worktop space when we have BBQs.

Ooni Fyra 12 also allows you to cook other dishes, provided that your cookware fits in the oven slot. Ooni also offers recipes on its website, such as banana bread and duck breasts. The Ooni Fyra 12 can also be used to cook other foods. This will work with a tiny cast-iron skillet. However, you will need to take the skillet out and turn the food inside. The handle of the skillet won't stick to the oven. Ooni, however, has its own cast-iron skillet that can be removed. I don't like this (the pan is also small and fragile, IMO) so I will stick with pizza.

With this in mind I set it up on a wooden raised table on our outside space. It's protected from the elements by the garden wall and fence that surround it.

We've been enjoying our Ooni Fyra Oven pizza oven for many afternoons and evenings. Then lockdown rules made it possible to have other people in our garden so we enjoyed making pizzas for everyone.

An Ooni thermometer can be purchased if you want to know when it's hot. This is a great gadget, but it won't be necessary for you to cook pizzas in an oven. After a few times with the oven, it became clear that I could tell when it was getting hot enough.

Ooni Fyra pizza grills are becoming the go-to garden accessory. It's simple to see how. Their promise of making delicious pizza in our own backyards, even though we aren't allowed to eat at restaurants, has made them one if the most desired items in the last 12 months.

Here are some facts about my life that, if purchasing an outdoor pizza oven were like getting a puppy, I would provide to the adoption agency: I have a roof that I can access where I occasionally utilize a tiny charcoal grill, but it is unfinished and a little slanted. There is a table up there, but that’s it. No outlets. No gas hookup. Real sparse vibes. Additionally, I do not like the idea of using a propane tank because they freak me out. The less I have to do in order to keep this oven lit and operational, the better. With all of that in mind, I referred to Ooni’s Compare Ovens page and determined that the Fyra 12 was the match for me.

The Fyra 12 is very easy to light. Simply load the hopper of pellets, fire up the starter, then add more pellets. After that, just relax and enjoy your cold beverage. It also heats up very quickly. The Fyra 12 heats up in 15 minutes on average to reach the right temperature (900 to 950 Fahrenheit), subject to weather conditions. Neapolitan Pizzas should be baked at 950 to 1000°F.

Cooks who dream of churning out pies for a big party should stay away from the Fyra 12. This is an oven for small groups even then, the ash buildup after three or four pies was so immense that the oven struggled to get hotter than 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The result? Pizzas that took longer to cook and didn't come out with the right texture.
