How to size a wood stove
Wood stoves carry higher kW numbers than electric heaters for the same room, because output swings with the fire. Do not compare the two directly. Every stove has a room volume range in its manual. Pick the stove whose range has your room near the middle.
Inside feed or through-wall feed
A standard stove is loaded from inside the hot room. A through-wall model is loaded from outside or from a changing room, which keeps ash and wood out of the sauna and lets you add logs without opening the door.
What else you need
- An insulated chimney kit matched to the stove's flue size
- Wall heat shields if the manual calls for them
- A non-combustible hearth or floor plate
- Sauna stones, if not included
- A carbon monoxide alarm near the sauna
Deciding between fuel types? Read wood-burning saunas for the full cost comparison with electric.
Tight budget or no power at the site? A sauna tent with a wood stove starts at $1,343. Every sauna needs a way to read the heat. See sauna thermometers and where to hang one. No 240V supply nearby? Gas and propane heaters are the other non-electric choice.
Common questions
How many kW do I need for a wood sauna stove?
Use the room volume range in the stove manual, not an electric heater chart. Wood stoves are rated higher than electric heaters for the same size room.
