Sauna Habits

A More Sustainable Sauna Stove


About Sauna Habits

According to different sources, traditional sauna stoves have one of the highest emission factors among residential heating appliances. They have low efficiency, a high combustion rate, significant wood consumption, and an insufficient air supply, resulting in incomplete combustion. The suggested solution aims to make taking a sauna more sustainable without losing the traditional experience of wood burning stoves. The inner structure of the stove makes the airflow circulate inside and provides a better heat exchange, reducing heat waste and effectively burning combustible gases and particulates. The core is made of fireproof concrete that withstands temperatures high enough to achieve almost total combustion of the wood; these properties of long-term heat accumulation and radiation result in less wood consumption.
