Ooni Karu - Chimney vent; Open chimney vent; Closed chimney vent

Chimney vent
The easiest way to regulate temperature in Ooni Karu is
through fuel management. The inbuilt chimney vent also
allows for adjustments to be made to airflow and heat
distribution through the oven.
If your Ooni Karu is not running hot enough on wood or
charcoal, check that your chimney vent is open and chimney
cap is removed. This will provide maximum airflow and top
temperatures through the oven.
Open chimney vent - increases the draw of air through the
oven, creating more powerful flames and an increased heat.
Closed chimney vent - reduces the draw of air for a smokier
eect and a lower heat.
