Ooni Karu 2 Pro vs. Gozney Arc XL
Two very different propane-capable outdoor ovens. The Karu 2 Pro is a compact, portable oven that burns wood or charcoal by default, with an optional gas burner attachment. The Arc XL is a larger, propane-only countertop oven with precision lateral-flame control and a digital display, built specifically around consistent gas-fired cooking rather than fuel flexibility.

Ooni Karu 2 Pro
Pros
- Switching between wood/charcoal and gas (with the separately sold burner) covers both flavor and convenience in one oven
- Built-in Bluetooth temperature hub tracks ambient oven and food temperature from a phone
- Reviewers consistently praise its versatility and cooking results across wood, charcoal, and gas
Limitations
- This specific bundle includes the gas burner attachment, so it costs significantly more than the base wood/charcoal-only Karu 2 Pro — confirm which configuration you're buying before purchase
- Wood/charcoal fueling requires more active fire management than a gas-only oven
- Owners report the folding legs can fold up too easily during use
- Some owners report the companion Bluetooth/Ooni Connect cable needs to be wiggled to get a reliable connection
- Getting consistent temperature control takes practice, per multiple reviewers
Gozney Arc XL
Pros
- Precision lateral-flame control and a digital display give more direct temperature management than most propane ovens in this comparison
- Countertop-sized footprint (about 60 lbs) is far more portable than Gozney's larger Dome line
- Reviewers report gas fueling delivers stable, consistent temperatures pizza-to-pizza
Limitations
- Propane-only — no wood, charcoal, or natural-gas option, unlike Gozney's multi-fuel Dome line
- Reviewers report the stone is notably harder to remove for cleaning than on comparable Ooni ovens
- At the time of several reviews, Gozney didn't sell a 16-inch peel to match this oven's full pizza size — its 14-inch peel isn't large enough to launch a full 16-inch pizza
- Premium price relative to other propane ovens in this comparison
