Thinking of building a Sauna using a wood stove?

I have yet to come across a Listed Wood Stove suitable for use in a Sauna, they have all been built using un-certified wood stoves. An un-certified wood stove requires 48 inches of clearance to any combustible surface, so unless your Sauna is being built with masonry you are probably not going to comply.

Some people get around this my building their Sauna out in the open where a fire would not be an issue. If your Sauna accidently caught fire and burned your house down, you most likely would not be covered by your insurance company.

The new electric sauna heaters are fast and easy to install. I can turn my sauna heater on using my phone which is a really nice feature to have when it is cold out.
