Nice work. One of the basic rules conserning measurements in sauna is that your toes have to be at the same level or upper as woodstove's top level/stones.
That's great to hear Rick! glad it was helpful. Sometimes it just makes all the difference to actually see some of that details rather than read about them.. cheers
very nice build. I like the simplicity of your design which is what I'm going for as well. can I ask what you did for The floor? what it's made of? I just started framing mine on an existing concrete slab and debating if I should leave it concrete, tile it, or just use one of those rubber mats with holes for water to drain
Do you have a video of you using the wood stove? I'm curious to know how much steam is put out when you put water over the stones. Can you make a video like that? Highly interested in building my own!
no I don't, and that sounds like too much work! haha. I can tell you that I usually use the sauna dry for about 10 minutes, and then just put a little water on the stones every 5-10 minutes. you feel the steam and heat. so its there. but I dont want or need too much water going on the stove. too much rust.
Hi Bryan. It takes about 30-40 minutes to get it hot, and a load of wood in the stove is usually enough for a 30-45min sauna. It get's hot enough that the window and door get opened, which I prefer as you get the cold air mixing in with the hot
I dont have a thermometer in there, I just get it hot and use the window and cracked door to control temp. It is more heat than needed, but manages well with airflow
Thanks Martin. Total cost was around $1200 Canadian all said and done. Most expensive part was the cedar ($400 for the cheap stuff) and the chimney pipe and ceiling kit ($400). Learned a lot building it too so that makes it worth it. We use it almost every week from Sept to May and any time friends are up. Cheaper than the kits and Barrel Saunas that I have seen which go for around $4000.
HI Stephen, there has been no cracking, but I have notices some warping with the window.. on the bottom. nothing crazy but enough to make me realize it should have been wood.
Thanks I am turning my girls playhouse into a sauna good job
Great design, liked the metal work solutions, nice videos. Thank you for sharing.

It's a small job to fix that. 😃
@Fisticuffs Guilde heatcirculation
@Fisticuffs Guilde Air is usually much cooler below the stone level. It's nice to have warm air also for feet.
Vesa is right.
Your video helped me a lot. Your right there is not a lot of info on wood stove installation. Thanks Jesse.

Is that just a regular wood stove?
No heat shield for the corner person? TRhat is a lot of radiant heat uif you haven't....plus safety. I hope you have because those stoves get HOTTTT
As in every US sauna video the bench is about one metre too low.
Very nice! How hot does it get and how long does it take to get up to that temperature?

Hey bud what's the highest temperature you have had in it?

Great job....what was the total cost?

Very nice! What brand the stove? How much is it, I am shopping around now in toronto GTA
Hi Jesse, I noticed you have a window in there, is it a vinyl frame? Have you experienced any cracking or problems with it?
HI Stephen, there has been no cracking, but I have notices some warping with the window.. on the bottom. nothing crazy but enough to make me realize it should have been wood.
Ok thanks! Appreciate the reply.
I also recommend tempered glass window.
Where did get the fence cedar? Tnx
