Does this ooni karu burn wood pellets well or are they really only practical in another ooni model?

The Karu is designed for lump charcoal & regular hardwood. I start the oven with the lump charcoal and then add the hardwood chips to get the oven up to temp [900+ degrees]. I would not use this oven with wood pellets and I would not get the wood pellet version of this grill as the Karu is awesome. Lump charcoal is cheap and all you have to do for the hardwood is take a walk in the woods looking for dead fall. I understand the convienance of the pellets but I'm a purist. If trying to do true Neopolitan style pizza you need wood and to me it makes a big difference. The Karus was one of my better purchases in many a moon.

Looking at uuni 3 vs uuni pro. anyone know how heavy the uuni pro is without the chimney and stone?

If you are just looking to do pizza or sear steaks get the Ooni Karu.

Hi, I would like to know how many wood pellets I need for cook maybe for 5 or 6 hours? and if I can use this oven for a pizza truck.?

Not sure how a truck would work. It would have to be ventilated (the smoke stack needs to be outdoors) I would think. We have had it burning for up to an hour and a half on 12/13 pieces (small) of wood. Purchased a bundle pack at our local Lowe's store.

Can you set it on any table top? Or it gets too hot underneath and could burn the table?

Actually it doesn't transmit much heat downward at all. After 15-20 minutes at 700 F the temperature of the plywood I set it on was only 105 F and I could hold my hand under the oven with no discomfort.
