Wow, what a great comparison between these two ovens. Thank you for spending the time to make this video, I'm interested in the Gozney Arc XL and this has proven extremely useful to me.

First time watching one of your videos. Exactly what I was looking for! Graphs, stats, photos, all the info I was looking for! I couldn't find anyone else talking about the recovery time which is a big deal for me. Thanks.

Great review. Right amount of info, especially liked the temp graphs, and all was presented well and coherently. Good job!

[afreaklikemejustneeds]

that review completly flippt my choice between those two ovens. i was set on the karu 16 mostly because of the door because where i would use it its windy. it seems like the arc xl with an additional bought door might be the game.

awesome review!

This is by far the best channel here ! Cheers from Quebec !

[sheri]

Man I'm loving your channel, hope you the best. Best Pizza oven reviewer for me.

I had the same issues with my ooni karu 16 that you had. The problem with the gas burner not lighting is probably due to the ignition being to far away from the rest of the burner. It seems like the gas burner has a lot of production issues since so many people complain about the same things. I sold my ooni karu and bought the gozney arc xl for all the reasons why you disliked the ooni karu. The door and the temperature control in the back were too annoying for me. Great video en review btw, looking forward to your other videos!

I have the Karu, and the only time the flame went out is when I left the top on the chimey or if the vents weren't open properly. Your Piezo needs to be alligned with the metal so it can get a spark. I'm pretty sure the piezo just needs to be adjusted. I like the Arc because flame is on the side, it's more portable, better recovery time, and the knob is in the front. One con I see with the Arc is the flame is so close to the floor that cooking larger pizzas would be more challenging than it is in the Karu. Living in MN it gets extremely cold and windy, that door has been a pro, especially cooking other types of food. I think the Arc is a slightly better option, but I wouldn't sell my Karu to get one. I'm completely satisfied with the end result with the Karu. With the door closed I get to 850ish in around 30-32 minutes.

Amazing comparison, loved the numbers comparing the two!

Don't forget Ooni sells a slotted pizza door for the Karu that you don't have to open. I love cooking with wood, so I would choose the Karu 16 again over the Arcxl. But I absolutely detest the knob in the rear. BTW, I've never experienced my flame going out my karu 16 or 12 while using gas, and I've own the 12 for years and the 16 since it came out. I will get the Dome when I decide to upgrade.

Great comparison. I have the Karu and have to manually light each time and have occasional outages. Honestly, my bigger issue is that despite having a knob that suggests flame adjustment, there is only a few mm distance between low and high. Confirmed with Ooni this is as designed; you aren't supposed to adjust the flame other than high/low, though a careful hand can get some control. Does the Arc's gas knob allow for more control? I'd also be interested to see a propane usage comparison between the two over the same amount of time. Thanks!

Great video as usual!
I love to bake bread and I am between the Ooni Karu 2 pro and the Gozney dual fuel Dome. Would be cool a comparison is those 2 ovens baking bread. Any recommendations?

[DirtyDrummer]

I have an Ooni Karu 16 and have had the same burner issues. I’ve even had a discussion online with one of the owners of the company and all she does is make excuses and act like you don’t know what you’re doing. They sent me a new knob because the original basically melts on the inside and ends up, not turning the actual metal piece that adjusts the flame. I told her the propane burner is a defective product and then she ends up not responding. I have had it for almost 2 years now and I have gotten pretty used to it and am able to turn out really good pizzas on it but if I had to do all over again, I would never buy another Ooni product.

[javiergutierrez]

Great videos!
Have you tried the newer version Karu 16 pro? I am in the search of a natural gas oven with a door to be able to bake sourdough bread loafs besides just pizzas. the Gozney Dome looks like ideal but is very pricey vs Ooni’s new NG Karu 2 pro.

[faisala]

Great review! Whats the name of that company that does the door accessories .. sorry I didn’t catch that

[dppaz]

Really good video - very informative!
How about the Dome vs the Arc XL ? What one would you pick out the two ?

[longthedragnn]

They need something like a heat or flame shield for the arc xL to prevent burning. Excited to see your 16 inch ny style review on the arc xl. Thank you

[samoborbeno]

For pizza catering and 50-60 pizzas, 11-12 inches, do you recommend two Gozney Arcs or two Gozney Roccoboxes? Which one better maintains temperature stability, and which one recovers temperature faster? From your experience?

[sebastijangombac]

Thank you for your reviews! Can you compare Gozney Arc XL VS Glowen Raptor pls?

[JPclf]

When you did the recovery test for the arc, did the internal temp go down much?
Thanks a lot by the way exactly what I'm looking for to see if I'm buying the arc!
