  1. I've noticed that you used your oven on a wooden base. It that safe? I'll be buying the karu 12 and would like to know if I need a metal base bellow the oven or I could use it on a wooden table.

  2. Nice video, I have the oven on max between pizzas and also turn it down to 3/4 for the cook! I you thought about trying a different stone?

  3. I've been having problems with my launch since I got my Koda in 2020, using flour on the peel. Thanks for this – I switched to semolina this weekend. Game changer. Thanks for all your videos.

  4. I have had this oven 2 years, never disappointed in the results. Thank you for the wonderful tips🙏🥰💕

  5. I learned to use this oven from you in an earlier video a couple of years back. It got me good results on my first bake ever, and I still do it this way 🙏 I would only add your tip to flip over the stone before heating up the next time the oven is used, for the self cleaning effect – love that.

  6. Hello,

    I've had a koda 12 for about 3 years but fell out of love with it. The main trouble i had with it is managing temperature when cooking multiple pizzas. I tend to make 5-7 each time- the first 2 cook beautifully but i find the subsequent are underbaked but with burnt crusts. Simply- the stone gets too cold. I even purchased a biscotti stone (>£50) to try and mitigate against this but it didn't help. I would have burnt crusts, underbaked dough centrally and undercooked toppings. Ive tried alot of different things including turning the flame right up in between pizzas and right down once the pizza is in. I also turn frequently and dont use sugar in my dough to reduce chance of burning. I figured this was because the 12 is simply too small- do you have any advice against this?

  7. i found it helpful but confusing too… the picture, of dial was it 1/4th to the full to illutrate what u meant?

    then "crispier = lower" but whats the number for that "lower" temp?

  8. My issue with these ovens is by the time u finish buying the toppings ur better off just buying the pizza at a good pizza shoo as all the ingredients end up costing the same if not more. Same issue with the ninjs creami, yes its ice cream but again bu the time u add all ingredients its cheaper to just by store ice cream and sometimes it is better then ur recipe, my recipe.
