Wood Burning Steam Saunas – The Most Popular Choice in Saunas
When you’re ready to build your own sauna, you will find that
wood burning steam saunas are the
preferred choice for an authentic Finnish sauna experience. The aroma and scents
of a cedar sauna combined with the crackling of a real wood burning fire just
doesn’t compare to electrically heated steam rooms. If you have access to a free
supply of wood and don’t mind the manual labor of cutting and chopping your
supply, there is the additional advantage of saving money you would have to
spend on electricity or natural gas.
The Polar Sauna Wilderness Wood Stove is ideal for backyard outdoor saunas and
can be used indoors if installed according to your municipal building code. This
is an energy efficient wood burning stove with a large rock capacity needed to
produce the high humidity of a steam room sauna. The steam is produced by pouring
water over granite or river rocks on top of a stove. An optional 5 gallon water
tank can be placed in the front of the heater for an ample supply of easily
accessible water.
The heavy-duty wood burning sauna room
heater comes with a stainless steel exterior heat shield to prevent
accidental burns. The chimney can be routed from the top of the stove or out the
back. A steam sauna heats up quickly with this energy efficient stove because of
the double flame circulation system resulting in even heat transfer to the
rocks. An optional glass window lets sauna bathers view the fire while soaking
up the soothing heat.
A sauna room heater that burns wood is ideal for recreating the feel of a
traditional Finnish steam sauna.
There are six different models to choose from with rock capacities from 77 – 132
lbs suitable for heating saunas measuring 282 – 987 cubic feet. The rocks are
free but add to the shipping costs. You may be better off collecting your own or
buying them locally.
