The sauna with wood-fired stove

Fire, atmosphere and experience: A sauna with a wood stove provides the ultimate experience and relaxation. The dry heat generated by the wood stove combined with the crackling of the fire creates a beautiful, natural atmosphere. 

Advantages of a wood-fired sauna

• A wood-fired sauna stove gives off a natural heat
• Safe to use
• Traditional way of enjoying a sauna
• No electricity needed in the sauna; usually cheaper to use than an electric heater
• A wood-fired stove will reach the desired temperature faster than an electric sauna heater
• The great crackling wood fire will get you even more relaxed

Disadvantages of a wood-fired sauna

• The stove needs to be well maintained. This entails regularly emptying the ash pan, having the flue pipe swept out if need be, and replacing the sauna stones every two years (the latter also applies to an electric heater, by the way).
