Wood-Burning Sauna Heaters

For those who have a house in the country, wood-burning sauna heaters are a good choice for a sauna. Most country houses have a good supply of firewood so saunas can be operated at quite a reasonable cost. Some wood-burning heaters have glass doors - watching the flames while taking a sauna can be a soothing experience.

Wood-burning sauna heaters are combustion chambers with controlled air flow. The amount of air flow determines how fast the wood burns – lower air flow and the wood will burn slowly. Controlling the air flow also controls the temperature to a certain extent, but there's no way to set a wood heater to a certain temperature like electric sauna heaters. There is no danger of smoke being released into the sauna - it is drawn out of the heater through the metal smoke pipe installed through the roof of the sauna.
