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.
Like any pizza oven, however, the Fyra 12 also needs fuel. And fuel costs money. Ooni sells 20 pound bags for $25. But there are many cheaper options available and any brand will work. Also, don't forget to pick up some fire starters.
Since we got our Ooni Fyra pizza cooker, we have spent many an evening and night having backyard pizza parties as a whole family. When lockdown rules allowed us the freedom to invite other people into our garden, we were happy to cook pizzas for them all.
As well as a pizza oven cover, pizza peels and serving boards, there's just about every Ooni-branded pizza oven accessory you could imagine to go with your Ooni Fyra. From thermometers and trolley tables to pizza cutters and even topping stations with compartments for all your favourite toppings, the list is pretty impressive.
This is a great way to make sure you get your pizza off the peel without losing your toppings. It's easy to get the hang of it, and it takes only a few attempts.
I would recommend the Koda 12 gas-powered version if you have a large family and plan to make pizza the center of your next dinner party. While it will cost $50 more and not as portable as pellets, you'll still enjoy the experience and be able to bring your guests along.
The Ooni Fyra was extremely easy to assemble. This assembly process was easy even for someone like myself, who has zero patience when it involves following assembly instructions (my Ikea flatpack meltdowns in our house are quite famous),
Amazing stuff! It took less than 10 minutes to open everything, read the instructions, then set it up.
First, you will need to remove the chimney cover. Next, remove and replace the chimney cap. I followed the directions and used around two handfuls to get me started. Add a firelighter, such as the Ooni ones that were provided, to the front of grate. Light it and push it into the back.
Pellets have a lot to offer. They are very efficient in burning, as mentioned previously. However, this is a question when baking at high temperatures for pizza-making.
Ooni has been making amazing outdoor ovens for many years. We've tested a few of them and found that they often strike the right balance between quality and performance. We'll be reviewing the Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven. This is the 4th installment of the Ooni Series.
It is one of my favorite things about cooking outdoors, and how clean it can be. Fyra 12 has a lot of soot, even though it's well-oxygenated. There are many things to clean. Fyra 12 comes with two chimneys, one for pellet loading and one for smoke. Each has removable parts that can get clogged up after cooking. The pizza stone itself is relatively easy to clean.
Ooni's cheapest oven for pizza is great fun. For some, the learning curve might be too steep.
Ooni has made amazing outdoor ovens throughout the years. We have tested several of them, and they are consistently high in quality and perform well. This review will be about the Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven, which is the fourth installment of the Ooni Series.
The Ooni Fyra still looks very familiar to its predecessors and the other new Ooni models. It has maintained the same classic dome shape that’s a trademark design of Ooni pizza ovens. It features a chimney much like the Ooni Karu and the Ooni 3 models.
The Ooni Fyra is very similar to its predecessors as well as the new Ooni models. It still retains the Ooni Fyra's classic dome shape which is a hallmark design of Ooni pizzeria ovens. It is similar to Ooni Karu's and Ooni 3 models in that it has a chimney.

Ooni Fyra's successor to the Ooni 3 oven, which was a very popular model. It burns only wood pellets, and unlike its predecessor, has undergone several performance upgrades. A taller hopper can hold more fuel. There is also a new viewing window. Additionally, the shell retains heat more effectively than the Ooni. Even though they took several attempts to perfect, the pizzas that we made with it were fantastic. Other things we loved were its small cooking surface, its portability, and the ease of assembly. You can also use any type of wood pellets. Although it was easy to light and use, we did have some difficulties with it.
When the oven arrived at home, I prepared a batch of dough and carried it up to the roof. The rest--trials and errors, many pizzas on multiple rooftop parties and lots of compliments--is history.
It was a real bummer that my Ooni arrived with plans to make pizza that same day. However, I discovered that I didn’t have the right materials. Ooni will not ship a pizza peel, so be sure to choose a model that's thin and narrow enough to fit your pizza. I really liked this one. While you could probably use a wood peel to make it work, I found I needed the thinness in metal to be able to maneuver.
When it comes to backyard pizza ovens, Ooni is the brand to beat, and the Fyra 12 ($349) is the cheapest model it makes. The Fyra 12 is also Ooni's most portable option. It weighs 22 pounds and uses dry hardwood pellets as its fuel source, which are naturally easier to transport and widely available for purchase at grocery and hardwood stores around the U.S.
Ooni Fyra pizza can be cooked outdoors. This tray will be your base for the fire. When the fire has blazed for about 15 minutes (you can look through the peephole in the oven front to see), you will add more fuel to your pellet feeder to ensure there is always fuel flowing into the fire. A pellet hopper that is full will last for around 15 minutes. The fire must be maintained strong by constantly replenishing it. It is best to not forget about it. If you do, your fire will soon become too cold.
This pizza oven's small size shouldn't deceive you. It can produce delicious pizzas just like the ones at your favorite pizza place. We love it and can't wait for the summer to test it again.
Without a built in thermometer, it is difficult to determine when the pizza oven is at its highest temperature and ready for baking. However, I found that 15 minutes was sufficient for it to reach the heat point in most weather conditions. The best way to tell if it's ready is by looking through the viewing port. If you see rolling flames (where flames reach the roof of the oven), then it's likely ready for cooking.
They all have a different feel and it is difficult to learn. My theory: A lot of this is due to the small firebox discussed in the previous section.
Here are some facts about me, which I would share with the adoption agency if I bought an outdoor pizza-oven. There is a roof over my head that I can access, where I sometimes use a charcoal grill. However, it is unfinished and slightly slanted. There is only one table on the roof. No outlets. No gas hookup. The atmosphere is very sparse. I am also not a fan of the idea to use a propane tank. They freak me out. The less I have that I need to do to keep this oven operational and lit, then the better. With all that in mind, Ooni's Compare Ovens page helped me to decide that the Fyra 12 was the best match.
The Ooni Fyra was extremely easy to assemble. This assembly process was easy even for someone like myself, who has zero patience when it involves following assembly instructions (my Ikea flatpack meltdowns in our house are quite famous),
But, as with any pizza oven the Fyra 12 will need fuel. Fuel is expensive. Ooni sells bags 20-pound for $25. There are cheaper options, however, and any brand will suffice. Grab some fire starters, while you are at it.
As Uuni has expanded into different countries, it's become apparent that the word 'Uuni' is being pronounced differently around the world. As we are a truly global brand, we have decided to change the spelling of our name from 'Uuni' to 'Ooni', which is the phonetic spelling.
In addition to baking any pizza of your choice, you can enjoy a wide range of incredibly delectable pastries like galettes, calzones, and bread with a crust that you would never achieve in a regular oven.
You could always try burning wood pellets in your normal pizza oven, you can buy a big back of ""cat litter"" pellets from B&M. 15 minute heat up on the Uuni 2S, followed by about 45 seconds per pizza... First fire up of the Uuni 3 last night - the burner is amazing! 24 Mar 2017
