Bertello Pizza Oven Review - Pizza Cook using Gas & Wood Fire

[@upsjohn1960]

This oven's ok, but with family night and with the kids participating in pizza cooks, my concern with this oven would be the blowback at the refueling hopper. I'll stay with my karu 16. Thx for the information.

[@TomVoyageuk]

Being honest, if i had to choose between the Karu 16 and this one, i would stick with the Karu 16 too

I just bought one of 12 inch everything kits and I am learning by watching before going out to burn some pizza. Good point on using the gas knob to raise the temperature when the wood is running out. In all the videos it is obvious how difficult it is to look into the oven and everyone is bending over. Tonight I realized that I had a wide masonry wall with sloping concrete floor next to it, so I put the oven on it at different places to see what height worked for me. My favorite height was for the oven to sit 48 inches above the floor. I haven't tried cooking on it, but I am going to leave it up high and see if that works.

I think whoever buys this oven will be happy with it. Every oven has it's quirks and drawbacks. I like the multifuel option. The gas and wood combo is better for parties. My problem is more with the aesthetics.

[@TomVoyageuk]

Thanks for watching! Great comment!

Nice review. I’m curious how long it takes to reheat the oven to cooking temperature for subsequent pizzas, or is it ready to go right away?

[@KitchenCraftFood]

Nice review Tom!

[@TomVoyageuk]

Cheers buddy! Great channel by the way!

Hi Tom, have you tried pan pizza in the pizza oven? I know it’s a bit of a cop out, but it’s so nice. It’s literally my goto now! Worth a taste test. Much easier to cook too as not as temp sensitive. Plus imoa it tastes twice as nice!

[@HonortronicsInc]

Pan pizza cooks at a lower temperature and is more suitable for a home oven. Chicago or Detroit style. Brooklyn or Neapolitan Style pizza is better suited for this oven.

Nice review. Personally, I would like to see update videos of stretching the pizza dough and some pizza sauce recipes of what you are currently making. Thanks as always

[@Bevieevans8]

Good review Tom thank you. Hope you didn’t get too injured 😮

[@gerardcampbell3981]

Nice video, Tom. A question for you: After I've heated my Ooni to temperature, how low should I drop the temperature to? All the way to low? I'm still having cases where I think my cook temp is too hot despite turning it down a bit, resulting in a burnt bottom and in some cases slightly uncooked. I mean some char is nice but not charcoal! Thanks!

I'm in the market for something to upgrade over my Ooni Koda 12. This could be it.

[@ItzKamo]

what about ooni karu 12g?

[@MarcDupuis50400]

That's interesting. As a Ooni Karu 12 owner myself, I don't feel like this adds a lot (if any) upgrade. These 12inch pizza ovens really seem to all look and feel the same. I'm actually a bit disappointed to see a newcommer not bring a lot of added value to the existing competition. It does look cool and all, but just not groundbreaking is it ? I do think about upgrading my Karu 12 though, but if I did I think the space is what I'd be mainly looking at. These 30*30ish stone are really tiny to cook on, not a lot of space to turn the pizza in, or even wiggle room to place it closer or further from the fire.

[@bertacci]

@@MarcDupuis50400so the difference with this oven is that you can use any fuel source or a combination with it. Ooni you need to buy each oven independently based on desired fuel source.

[@MarcDupuis50400]

@@bertacci I get this point, but personally I don't really see myself using both gas and wood at the same time. (also, the Karu line does allow to switch between wood/charcoal and gaz. Not at the same time though). I'm more interested in a gain in stone size. Still a very cool oven for sure !

[@csutfin1142]

how do you clean the ash tray without removing the gas burner. The gas burner prevents the removal of the ash tray without removing the burner which is very inconvenient. Is there a better way to remove the wood ashes.

[@HonortronicsInc]

You can remove the ash tray without removing the burner. Removing the burner makes it a little easier to put the burner back in, but it isn't necessary, especially if you add a thermocouple sensor like I did in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2ncipeDjL9krdE

[@chdjhns]

Are these pizza ovens propane or natural gas? I saw eBay hah some natural gas burners for them

[@TomVoyageuk]

Mine is propane

[@robintaberner]

How many pizza ovens do you have now?

[@TomVoyageuk]

Errrrrrm, more than I need 👍🍕

[@plane_guy6051]

A nice added feature would be if this stove could be installed in a nearby building, and then if by just picking up my phone, I could call someone making minimum wage, and have them cook the pizza FOR me and then have someone else deliver it to me in a car.

[@G4CEFITNESS]

FIRST!!! What's going on Tom. Good to see your video. That's a nice pizza oven. Man, Ooni needs to step up its game. I'm surprised it didn't come with someone to make the pizza for you, lol. Next video, compare this to the Ooni Karu 12. Great review. 👍

[@robintaberner]

Can I point out, cooking a pizza in 90 seconds is going to have absolutely no effect on taste. No smoke flavour in 90 seconds

[@TomVoyageuk]

People say that but I think you can tell

[@robintaberner]

@@TomVoyageuk with all the cookers and domes I see behind you in your videos, I would have assumed you know about hot smoking food. THAT takes time and you’re not going to get wood smoked flavour in a 90 second pizza cook.

[@HonortronicsInc]

I'm with @TomVoyageUK. Even with 30 seconds of the burning embers over the pizza makes a HUGE difference in the final flavor. That is why I am such a big fan of this oven. Try it and see for yourself!

[@HonortronicsInc]

I have really enjoyed this video and used it while getting oriented with my own Bertello oven. I use this oven at least once a week and quickly realized that I didn't like using the infrared temperature sensor because the readings were really varied, so I installed a digital temperature monitor to the system. Here is a link to the video on how I did it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2ncipeDjL9krdE Thanks again for posting such useful content!!!

[@ItzKamo]

overpriced in japan sadly, i wanted to see the wood only, not mix up with the gas 😃
