The outdoor sauna is a cabin designed for bathing in dry heat. This heat can be generated by a variety of heating techniques. The most important of these are wood-burning stoves.
Let’s talk about the wood stove
The wood-burning stove is a traditional and widespread heating model. For outdoor saunas, it offers a certain enveloping warmth that is characteristic of a wood fire. The fire starts in a firebox filled with logs, then spreads throughout the sauna: a pleasant sensation!
Consisting of a firebox, cladding and flue connection, the wood-burning stove works fairly well, but needs to be supplied with wood. It is therefore sometimes proposed as an alternative to electric heating.
Some advantages of using a wood-burning stove
The advantages of wood-burning stoves lie in the very use of wood as fuel. Thus, using a wood-burning stove to heat a sauna results in :
- an economic aspect, as wood is the cheapest fuel;
- comfort through a relaxing experience;
- ease of use, as the wood-burning stove is maintenance-free;
- efficiency that translates into a rapid, gradual increase in sauna temperature;
- an ecological aspect resulting from the nature of wood, which is a natural and relatively clean energy source.
All in all,using a wood-burning stove to heat your sauna is a good alternative to an electric heater, given the many advantages it offers.
