How To Use The Sauna
Heating Up
The stove takes about 1-2 hours to heat up depending on the ambient temperature (Summer usually 1-2, winter usually 2-3). We provide you with detailed step by step instructions as to how to use the wood stove to properly heat up the sauna. Once the sauna is heated to the desired temperature, it only takes a couple logs to keep it that way.
Folks using the sauna are encouraged to properly hydrate, shower, and remove all jewelry to prevent burns. Grab a towel and prepare to relax!
