FAQs

How do I start the wood-fired sauna?

1

To start, open the firebox, place dry kindling and firewood inside, light the kindling, then close the firebox door once the fire takes hold. Follow any manufacturer-specific lighting instructions for your model.

How do I get started?

2

A wood-fired sauna typically takes 30–60 minutes to reach an ideal temperature (70–100 °C), depending on outside weather, insulation, and wood quality.

How much wood will I need?

3

A few bundles for initial heat up and intermittent refueling during your session is common.

What should I bring / wear?

4

  • Swimwear (without metal fastenings)

  • A towel to sit on

  • Water bottle to stay hydrated

What’s the right session length?

5

Start with 3–5 minutes in the heat if you’re new to sauna bathing; more experienced users may stay up to 15 minutes per round. Always listen to your body - leave if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable

Can I pour water on the rocks?

6

Yes - gently pour a small ladle of water onto hot stones. Avoid adding oils or fragrances unless they are explicitly sauna-safe. Be cautious adding too much water at once as it can create a large burst of steam. Add water slowly and step back briefly to let the steam settle.

Who shouldn’t use the sauna?

7

Individuals with certain health conditions (e.g., cardiovascular issues), or those who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs should avoid sauna use. Always prioritise safety - and if in doubt, get medical advice

What about jewellery, glasses & contacts?

8

Remove metal jewellery, glasses, and contact lenses before entering, as these can heat quickly and cause discomfort or burns.

Is there an age requirement?

9

Many sauna providers recommend adult supervision for younger users. (The minimum age is 18, or 16 with a responsible adult.)
