Traditional wood sauna stoves go deep to the heart of the pure sauna experience. The incomparable soft heat, lush hiss of steam and the relaxing crackle of the wood-fuel fire as well as the ritual of tending the fire are simply unmatched. Wood-fired sauna stoves make a heritage for sauna enthusiasts that have been treasured for thousands of years. Today’s wood-burning heaters capture and reinterpret for modern living. 

If you are one of those who have experienced a sauna heated by a wood-fired sauna stove, you must have known what the difference is all about. It is believed that only a wood fired sauna is a true sauna. It may seem biased as the original Finnish sauna was heated with an open fire that resembled more of a smoke room than a modern-day sauna as no chimney was utilized. 

Currently, the wood fire is evolved into a state-of-the-art sauna room using clean wood-burning sauna heaters with similar technologies to what you would get in a modern home. The wood-burning sauna heaters are designed of stainless steel to withstand the changing environment of a sauna room. The dual burn chambers help in ensuring a clean burn with minimal smoke. Typically, most wood-fired sauna heaters will provide a top chimney vent or a rear vent to allow different positions. 

The main reason behind using a wood-fired sauna heater over an electric heater is the large heating capacity. However, wood-burning sauna heaters are not controlled by high-temperature limits; which you will find on every electric sauna heater. The heat capacity is only limited by the wood amount you can fit inside the firebox. That’s why a wood-fired sauna heater can be hot and much hotter than electric sauna heating systems. With a larger reservoir of rocks, the saunas allow sauna bathers to absorb heat energy and allow them to add an enormous amount of water before the rocks will minimize their heat. 

For operating a wood-burning sauna stove, you need a type of wood that is properly dry so that it burns clean. It is highly recommended to use good-quality wood like Western Red Cedar that will help you take advantage of an enjoyable, fully authentic sauna experience.
