Always burn well-seasoned hardwood with a moisture content below 20% to ensure optimal heat production and reduced smoke. Control temperature precisely by adjusting the air intake regulator. Create perfect steam by sprinkling water on the heated stones in small amounts.

Maintain performance with simple weekly cleaning. Remove ash accumulation to prevent corrosion and maintain efficient airflow. Inspect chimney systems annually to remove creosote buildup and ensure a safe operation. With basic care, your wood-burning sauna heater will provide years of reliable service.
