I have the karu 12 and what I’ve noticed works best for me is lump charcoal to start and right before I launch the pizza I add in some wood to get the flame to come over the top. I like a crispy base though so I don’t add too much wood just enough to get a rolling flame over the top and then let it go for a bit before launching. I’ve found my sweet spot to be about 800 F give or take a couple.Yes I have the multi fuel model so I have been using charcoal. I typically use a chimney starter to get the coals going then dump them in the back and let the oven heat up. I have not had any issues. I usually keep some wood chunks to give the oven a nice temp bump if needed.
