Woodburning stove for the sauna

If you are planning to install a sauna in your home, a wood sauna heater is an excellent choice. A wood-burning sauna heater gives you the traditional sauna experience and also provides higher humidity than an electric sauna heater. In this post, we'll look at what to look for when buying a wood-burning sauna stove, whether it requires a permit, and which rock is best for the stove.

Advantages of the wood-burning sauna stove

- Natural ambience

A wood-burning sauna heater has no sauna heating rod that can wear out. It gives the sauna an authentic and natural ambience. The crackling of the wood fire and the pleasant smell of burning wood create an inviting atmosphere. The warm light of the fire creates a calming mood and contributes to relaxation. For many sauna enthusiasts, it is precisely the natural experience that is an important aspect that makes them turn to a wood-burning sauna heater.

- Controlled heat

Another advantage of a wood-burning sauna heater is the ability to control the heat manually. By adding logs or adjusting the air supply, the temperature in the sauna can be regulated individually. This allows sauna guests to enjoy the heat that is most comfortable for them. In addition, the scent of the wood used can enrich the sauna experience and add an aromatic note.

- Energy-saving and environmentally friendly

Compared to electric sauna heaters, wood-burning sauna heaters offer the advantage of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly use. Heating with wood is a sustainable option as wood is considered a renewable resource. In addition, burning wood can eliminate the need for fossil fuels, which helps to reduce carbon emissions. So by using wood as a fuel, sauna guests can not only benefit from a pleasant warmth, but also contribute to environmental protection.

- Robust and durable

Wood sauna stoves are characterised by their robustness and durability. High-quality models are made of heat-resistant materials and can withstand the high temperatures in the sauna. With the right care and maintenance, wood-burning sauna heaters can be operated reliably for many years.

- Connection to nature

Last but not least, a wood-burning sauna stove allows a special connection to nature. The firewood can come from the immediate area or be sourced regionally, which supports the local economy. Collecting or preparing the wood can become an additional ritual that further enriches the sauna experience.

What should I look for when buying a wood-burning sauna heater?

When buying a wood-burning sauna heater, there are several important aspects you should look out for:

  1. Size and power: Make sure the stove is suitable for the size of your sauna. A stove that is too small cannot heat the room effectively, while a stove that is too large can overheat the room. Pay attention to the stove's power, which is given in kilowatts, and choose according to the size and insulation of your sauna to ensure adequate heat output.

  2. Quality and materials: Check the quality of the stove and make sure it is made of high-quality materials. A sturdy and durable stove will give you long-term use. Make sure the stove is heat resistant and can withstand the stresses of high temperatures and humidity. It is also important that you can still get spare parts for the stove years after purchase.

  3. Ease of use: A good indoor wood-burning sauna heater should be easy to use. Check that the stove has clear and easily accessible controls.

Does a wood-burning sauna stove require a permit?

In Germany, it is important to note that the installation of a wood-burning sauna heater requires a permit and must comply with the provisions of the Bimsch Ordinance. It is essential to check local regulations and laws before purchasing a wood sauna heater. Depending on the location and the regulations of your community or city, you may need to obtain a permit from the local authorities before you are allowed to install the heater. This is to ensure that the installation meets safety and environmental standards. In addition, it is important to note that compliance with regulations and laws may also affect your insurance. In the event of an accident or damage, the insurance company can only cover the claim if the installation has been properly approved and carried out according to the applicable regulations. Therefore, you should ensure that you obtain all necessary permits and comply with legal requirements to avoid potential legal and insurance problems.

Which sauna stones should I use in a wood-burning sauna heater?

Olivine diabase sauna stones are recommended for a Finnish sauna heater with wood. Olivine diabase is a rock that is known for its excellent heat storage properties. It can absorb high temperatures and release them slowly and evenly, creating a pleasant and constant heat in the sauna.

When choosing sauna stones, you should also pay attention to their size. It is recommended to use stones with a size of more than 10 cm. Larger stones have a larger surface area that is penetrated by the heat and they provide better evaporation of water, resulting in higher humidity in the sauna.

It is important to point out that the choice of sauna stones can ultimately be a personal preference. In addition to olivine diabase, there are other types of stone such as olivine peridot, soapstone or basalt that can be used in sauna heaters. Each type of stone has its own characteristics and can influence the sauna experience in some way. It can be helpful to try different types of stone and choose the one that best suits your preferences and requirements.

Conclusion

A wood-burning sauna heater offers a traditional sauna experience and higher humidity than an electric heater. When buying a wood-burning sauna heater, it is important to look at the quality, performance and safety of the heater to ensure it is suitable for your sauna. Local regulations and laws should also be checked to ensure that the heater can be approved and safely installed.

A wood-burning sauna heater offers a variety of benefits that enrich the sauna experience. The natural ambience created by the crackling of the wood fire and the pleasant smell of burning wood creates an inviting atmosphere of relaxation. The ability to manually control the heat allows sauna guests to enjoy the temperature that is most comfortable for them. In addition, the use of a wood sauna heater is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, as wood is considered a renewable resource and fossil fuels can be dispensed with. The robustness and durability of a wood sauna heater ensure long-term use. Last but not least, a wood-burning sauna stove enables a special connection to nature, as the firewood can come from the surrounding area or be sourced regionally.

When buying a wood-burning sauna heater, it is important to look at the quality, performance and safety of the heater to ensure that it is suitable for your sauna. Local regulations and laws should also be checked to ensure that the stove can be approved and safely installed.

Overall, a wood-burning sauna stove is a great addition to your sauna and can provide a traditional sauna experience. By careful consideration and selection of the right stove and stone, you can ensure that you have the best sauna experience possible.
