Know Your Stove!

The stove is the heart of every sauna — but not all stoves are built the same. Many cheaper or mass-produced stoves hold few or no rocks, which creates sharp, unstable heat and weak steam.

At North Country Saunas, we believe the difference is in the thermal mass. A stove with a large rock capacity stores and radiates heat evenly, allowing for:

• Gentler, more consistent heat that penetrates deeper without burning the skin.

• Richer steam bursts when water hits the rocks, creating the authentic löyly experience.

• Better humidity control, so you can balance dry heat with steam to your preference.

• Improved recovery & detox, since stable heat allows longer, more effective sessions.

• Less fluctuation when the door opens or fresh air circulates.

Choosing the right stove isn’t just about heating up a room — it’s about creating the true sauna experience.
