How does a wood-burning sauna work?

Wood-burning saunas use a wood-burning stove that heats the stones inside the sauna. The heat from the stones will then radiate and warm up the air inside the sauna.
The stove is usually placed in the middle of the sauna so that the heat can be evenly distributed throughout the space.
To use a wood-fired sauna, you will need to:
1. Build a fire on the stove and let it burn for 30 minutes to an hour.
2. Remove the ashes from the stove and add more wood if needed.
3. Place the stones inside the stove and let them heat up for 15 minutes.
4. Pour water over the stones to create steam.
These saunas are pretty simple to use and don’t require special skills and knowledge. However, if you’re planning to build one from scratch, it’s important to consult with a professional to make sure it’s done correctly.
