Wood Burning Stoves for Saunas

Long before electricity, saunas were heated with wood. The soft heat and gentle steam created by fire and stone still define the most traditional sauna experience. For those drawn to the original rhythm of sauna bathing, a wood-burning stove offers something familiar, elemental, and enduring.

These stoves bring modern efficiency to an old-world method, without losing what makes it timeless. Built for cabin-style saunas, off-grid setups, or those who simply prefer the crackle of real fire, each model in this collection is made to provide strong, consistent heat and a full steam experience.

Designed for Function, Built for Safety

Today’s wood-burning sauna stoves include thoughtful design upgrades that enhance both safety and ease of use. Some offer external feed boxes, allowing you to load wood from outside the sauna. This keeps your space clean and reduces disruption once you're inside.

Sauna accessories and sauna heater parts like stone cages, safety rails, and bench integration kits allow you to place and protect the stove in ways that suit your layout. These details help prevent accidental contact and create a safer environment, especially in shared or family-use spaces.

Steam, the Way It’s Always Been

When you pour water over the stones, the room fills with gentle, enveloping steam. It's a quiet immersion, not dry heat, not performance-driven, just the steady warmth of real flame meeting rock and wood.

Explore the collection to find a wood-burning stove that suits your sauna build, your installation needs, and your preference for how heat should feel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wood-Burning Sauna Stoves

The right stove depends on your sauna's volume (length × width × height). Most manufacturers provide a recommended cubic foot or cubic meter range for each model. If your space has a lot of glass or is poorly insulated, size up slightly.

Typically between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the stove, outdoor temperature, and insulation. Allow extra time if you're using it in cold or damp conditions.

Yes. All wood-burning stoves require a chimney or flue system to safely vent smoke.

You can, but we recommend having a professional handle the chimney setup and stove clearance requirements to ensure safety and local code compliance.

Use clean, seasoned hardwoods like birch, maple, oak, or alder. Avoid softwoods like pine or wood that’s painted, treated, or wet. Dry wood burns hotter, cleaner, and with less creosote buildup.

External feed stoves have a firebox door that opens outside the sauna. This lets you add wood without bringing it inside or opening the sauna door, helping maintain heat and cleanliness.

Let the stove cool completely before cleaning. Empty ashes regularly, check chimney components for buildup, and inspect door seals annually. Use only a soft brush or vacuum, no water or harsh chemicals.
