home sauna electric dry heat

It is not a sauna until it hits at least 180.

I like dry sauna. Not infrared. Get one big enough to sleep in after you know the timer works. Costs less then $1 of electricity each time you use it.

I wanted mine back so bad I probably got exposed to Corona picking it up. It was an indoor but I used to keep it on a big covered deck in the backyard. The weather was not kind over the 5 years at its temporary home. Now I get to build an outside sauna shed 5 x 7 interior (heater only 3500 watts).

If you build you own with wood stove be careful and at least use rock wool inside the wall behind the stove and a proper collar for the stove pipe. Every home built sauna I have visited has had at least one fire. The cob sauna work with at least 2 foot eves and foundation to keep it from wicking water from the ground.

I have one. It’s an infra red sauna and it penetrates deeper without the high temps due to the infrared heat. They say it kills all kinds of nastys including viruses, bacteria and parasites.

We built ours about 10 years ago

Insulated a custom Amish shed 6’ x 8’ with an insulated door and double pane window in it for light

Used a #6 WAVE piezoelectric wall heater - propane for campers - safe with airflow - put an air vent just below it on the wall - just a flapper style about 3” x 8”

Fed the propane line through a drilled hole - uses a BBQ tank - VERY EFFICIENT... additional electric heater with extension cord for our cold weather ... we tiptoe out in the snow in our PJ’s and sauna for an hour with our coffee and water

BBQ tank only needs filled 1-2 times a YEAR!

Totally dry

Made L- shaped seats - 5 1/2 ‘ wide upper in the back and a 7 1/2 ‘ long one to the side of the door - his and hers to lay on

Great to knock a cold out !

Works well when it’s over 25 F degrees - takes too long to heat it colder but sometimes we do

Takes an hour to heat to 120 F - and gets hotter by our thermometer tips out there.

Start with 10 Mins at a time or lower temps to get used to it

Right out in the yard

If we even move we are taking it with us!
