Ooni Fyra 12

Lightweight wood-pellet outdoor oven that reaches 500°C and weighs just 10 kg, making it the most portable wood-fired option Ooni makes. The pellet hopper feeds automatically, but you need to stay close and keep feeding it.

How this oven bakes

  1. Keep the hopper fed. A stall mid-bake drops the stone and the next pie comes out pale.

  2. Give the deck the full 15 min. Air temperature lies. The stone is slower.

  3. If the base burns before the topping is ready, check the cooking surface with an infrared thermometer and let it cool before the next pizza. There is no separate bottom-heat control.

Pros

  • 10 kg is genuinely carry-anywhere light — fits in a backpack bag
  • Wood pellets give real smoke flavor without managing logs or charcoal
  • Reaches 500°C faster than most wood ovens (~15–20 min with dry pellets)
  • Lowest entry price for wood-fired flavor in the Ooni range

Cons

  • Pellet hopper needs refilling every few pies — you can't walk away during a session
  • 12-inch max is limiting; a 12-inch pizza is smaller than it sounds in practice
  • Pellet quality matters a lot — cheap or damp pellets cause temperature drops and creosote
  • No gas or charcoal option; you're locked into pellets

How the calculator uses this oven

  • Temperature and bake time. It reaches 500°C. At the default hydration, the calculator bakes Traditional Napoletana (60%) at 455°C on the deck for about 85 seconds, and Pizza Classica (65%) at 278°C on the deck for about 6 minutes.
  • Baking surface. The calculator assumes the stock cordierite stone. Swap in a biscotto and Traditional Napoletana takes about 90 seconds instead of 85 seconds.
  • Hydration for this oven. It reaches the heat Traditional Napoletana wants, so the calculator keeps the style's 58–65% hydration.
  • Baker corrections. Bake times learn from bakers' reports on this oven. A correction starts once at least 5 successful bakes from 3 different bakers share the same style and surface.
