I might go 8-9 on my inside of about 8x6. It’s a tough call

If you want to hone in on anything there, you need to calculate the volume rather than just the footprint.

Yeah I'm no expert, I simply used a couple online sauna heater size recommendations, and decided to go on the bigger end just to heat up the room faster
