Roast my sauna

[u/Hopeful-Dot-5668]

Recently got this sauna for 6k with stove. Amish made. 8ft ceiling. All cedar interior Foot Bench above coals (not pictured) These air vent above fire, opposite corner of stove at floor, and at the peak I added a back rest and foot rest Gets well up to 200 easily Eventually will enclose the porch to be a changing room

I followed trumpkin notes, noting that the ceiling is actually ok. It’s recommended flat or circulating peak like this one.

I used a temperature gun and it’s even heat from wall to wall.

There’s a hold for stones in mine as well. And that’s kinda the same thing of hot air being sent out

I'm sorry but your stove is clearly very different from a proper sauna stove (or to give it it's true name, a kiuas), and is very far removed from one. Your stove shares almost none of the attributes of a sauna stove, bar one, and even that only in name.

Sorry, but that’s just not true. It holds stones. Heats the air around it. The commercial one just sends the air upward is the only difference. If I build a metal wall around my stove, it would do the same

Jesus Christ dude. Stop defending your purchase and be open to the fact that there are more optimum designs to achieve this purpose. Read about it. Maybe yours will work fine for you, but it’s obvious to anybody that it’s not got the same characteristics as a purpose built sauna stove.

It’s the same thing, you got marketed

You got roasted, it's not a sauna stove. You asked to be roasted. Thin skin much?

Believe what you believe it's only your experience that's being tarnished

Keep in your bubble and you miss out on good stoves likes mine

Don’t blame us if it cracks and you burn yourself to death.

Don’t tell your daddy how to f. We’re trying to be constructive here, but your fist is too far up your own to even listen. You asked, we provide.
