Memorial Day cookouts are well under way but for me, the best outdoor cooking comes in the form of a pizza oven. I have had this exact model of the Ooni Karu 12 for over two years and it does not disappoint. I use it almost year round. This version is wood fired but has the option for gas hookups. And right now it is on sale for $249 at Amazon, one of the lowest prices I've seen. That's almost $100 off.
You can cook pizzas in under one minute once it's fired up but the Ooni Karu 12 is the little oven that could. You can also roast (small) chicken and vegetables or even bake bread. I have yet to use the gas adapter because the wood fire tastes and smells so amazing. Still, I love that I can convert it for use especially during peak summer.
There is a newer version of the Karu, the Ooni Karu 2, which is also on sale for about $90 off, which brings the price down to $360. Both models are portable -- purchase a carrying case separately and you can pack your oven up and take it camping, to the park or to the beach. Just make sure you account for plenty of cool-down time before packing up as the oven can reach 950 degrees Fahrenheit.
