For our standout runner-up… We’ve got to highlight OOFT firewood.
Their most popular selections are intended to be used in an Ooni Karu 12 or 16. So if you’re looking for the best wood for Ooni pizza oven… You may just have found your perfect match.
That said, there’s a couple reasons why we ranked this as #2 rather than #1. (We’ll get to that!)
As far as the packaging goes… It was good, but not mind-blowing. It was well-designed, and does what it needs to do — hold pizza oven wood.
Consistency was an A++ here. Every piece was pretty much identical in terms of dimensions.
The pieces were quite small, however. If you have a portable pizza oven like an Ooni, this will be perfect for you.
But because we’re using a larger pizza oven, it wasn’t ideal to have such small pieces. So if you have a large pizza oven… You’ll likely want to stick to a brand that offers larger chunks.
When it comes to performance, we were pretty happy with OOFT.
Lighting the pieces was super easy… And it took between 10-15 minutes to get the oven hot enough to cook pizza. (The quickest of all!)
On the flip side… That quick ramp-up time of the smaller pieces also led to a quicker burnout. We were having to refill the oven every 10 to 15 minutes to keep the fire roaring.
For a smaller oven, this is probably par for the course… But since we’re heating up a larger oven, we need a little more staying power.
And it’s for this reason that our final brand stole the #1 position…
