I am so glad you took the time to do this video and share your success. My wife probably thinks I really don't like my 2021 Father's present. That will change now, thanks to you. I just ordered the gas burner from Amazon 10 minutes ago. It will be delivered Monday. Perhaps you have a suggestion or a solution for my other Ooni related issue. My my grill island/patio roof is made of corrugated plastic panels and the temperature of the exhaust from the chimney is too high for comfort. I have considered various diverters and chimney "add-ons", but nothing that looks very good. One option I considered was a 45° bend of vent pipe to divert the heat out... anyway diatribe over. Thanks again!
I wonder if you could get a cap that fits that diffuses the heat? Something along these lines (although I haven’t measured the pipe so I doubt this one would fit) www.acehardware.com/departments/heating-and-cooling/chimney-and-flue/stove-pipe-caps/43355?store=05349&gbraid=0AAAAADtqLJEXHlLYp9reWPW1ComggUqAI&gbraid=0AAAAADtqLJEXHlLYp9reWPW1ComggUqAI&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjamO2ojw_gIVQW1vBB24SQcFEAQYDCABEgKpj_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Such a great video that answers all the questions I had. I've cooked upwards of 20 pizzas on my Fyra in one evening with pellets but it was one of the most stressful evenings I can remember 😅. Do you measure the stone temperature? What are you seeing in the middle or closer to the door using the gas burner?
@@allyourtechai I've just realize that on KARU or Koda, there is not cheminée, maybe i should find a way to close it =) BTW, if you come to north of France, tell me =)
Great video, I'd be really careful keeping that propane bottle so close to the oven in case of a gas leak, tank should be lower than oven as propane is heavier than air, unlike natural gas.
Good call out. This was only placed there for the demo, otherwise it’s in the bottom shelf of the Ooni stainless steel outdoor stand that you can purchase.
Hi, did you have the chance to measure the temperature of the stone? Would it be possible to keep the temperature of the stone around 850/900F with this mod?
Good instruction. I would not be concerned over the door causing a hazard because the 2 vent stacks are more than adequate. No more of a hazard than a gas grill lid.
If you buy the ooni gas conversion no drilling needed. It slides in and re-screws into the unit. Took my 5 minutes to convert it over. Easy peezy. Worth the extra money to have an exclusive OONI oven even though I paid $40.00 more for the easy fit.
Don't think this comment applies to the Ooni Friya but the Ooni Karu. There's no Ooni Friya conversion kit. Either way, the one in the video should work.
This is great. Thanks! Wondering if since converting to gas if you have tried to use the Fyra using pellets again and if the 2 holes you drilled caused any issues. Cheers!
Very helpful video. My unit however went out after 5 minutes. Then very hard to restart. Door was removed so that’s not the issue. I repeated the test. Hard to start, then went out on mid range after 2-3 minutes as if a bad thermocouple. Returning and may try another one.
How is the taste compared to cooking with pellets? I have Fyra 12 but I just ordered Koda 12 hoping it's less hassle keeping the oven in perfect temp but now my worry is that I will lose all that smoky wood flavor and slightly burned edges when cooking with gas.
You definitely still get the char on the edges, but you do lose some of the smoke. Not enough to make a huge difference though. I was pleasantly surprised. My primary reason for going with wood was the taste, but this was so much easier that it made up for any loss in flavor.
I was just looking on the Ooni site. They were very specific about “only for the karu.” Yeah, right. I’m buying this sucker tonight! If, for some reason, I want to cook pizzas at the park I’ll use the pellets. And on that note, they also say that you can’t use hardwood or charcoal because of the ash receptacle. I’m going to put that one to the test too.
Just did my install. Worked perfectly. However the intense heat did cracked my stone. I think I need to ease into the flame. Buying a new stone if I feel I need to
I ended up cranking it up to high to get the temp up, then dropping it down to medium while the pizza was inside cooking. That seemed to get the job done.
@@allyourtechai Do you have to raise the temperature again, after you baked a (or some) pizza or does it hold the temperature after heating it up on high?
@@z3alt454 He talks about it in the video, he raises the temp from medium to high in between pizza cooks to maintain the temperature. Then drops it to medium when he actually cooks the pizza.
Used your vid to install my gas burner. Worked like a charm! Thanks for the instructions :-)
Glad it worked out! Really made a huge difference for me :)

I have one now and it is magnetic. However, I am not sure the gap created by the magnets would be a good thing.

>Thank a lot for your video mate !
Cheers from France
Glad it helped (and I just moved to Portugal a couple months ago. Basically neighbors haha)
@@allyourtechai I've just did the modification
Maybe it's because it's a bit cold in France ( around 10°C ) , but i struggle reaching 400°C

Epic, thanks - nice safety and cooking tips too!

It’s a good point. I left the front cover on personally, but don’t need anyone to blow up and blame me lol
propane will not go up the vent stacks if flame goes out, it is heavier than air so need to keep door off

That option didn’t exist when I made the video. Glad they finally came around
Which one is that?
Do you have a link for this perhaps? I see the gas burner for Karu 12 and Karu 16 but not a conversion kit that wouldn't require drilling. Thanks.
Don't think this comment applies to the Ooni Friya but the Ooni Karu. There's no Ooni Friya conversion kit. Either way, the one in the video should work.
If you don’t feel like ruining any warranty you have on your oven, getting a set of good magnets also does the job
Ohhh that’s a good idea
Great idea!
Love it! Great suggestion!
What magnets did you use?
What are some good magnets to use?
do you happen to know if the natural gas burner will also fit into the fyra?
This is great. Thanks! Wondering if since converting to gas if you have tried to use the Fyra using pellets again and if the 2 holes you drilled caused any issues. Cheers!
I did a few times and didn’t notice any negative impact at all. The holes are very small!

Interesting, wonder if you did just end up with a bad unit. I haven’t had any issues with mine fortunately.
intersting, how did the second unit work?

No problem 👍. Makes a huge difference

@@saldrich3226 Did you try hardwood? How did it go?
Excellent, tanks à lot !!!!!
Did you need to close the valve of the chimney because of the heat loss? Nice video!
I left the chimney open, but did end up using the front cover (use at your own risk). It cooked great with that combination.
Thank you!
Can you do a conversion kit for a Maximus pizza oven from wood to gas propane?
Thank you so much 😊
Just did my install. Worked perfectly. However the intense heat did cracked my stone. I think I need to ease into the flame. Buying a new stone if I feel I need to
you can find a steel online for this oven better than a stone anyway
Where can I buy the kit from to convert it please
hi, what is the length of screws?
I’ll double check. Pretty short though. Just a few mm to get through the two surfaces.
This is a great video!!! Approximately where on the gauge did you find it was optimal for not burning the top?
I ended up cranking it up to high to get the temp up, then dropping it down to medium while the pizza was inside cooking. That seemed to get the job done.
