Get the best of both worlds with an outside feed wood sauna stove. This ingenious design offers the unparalleled ambiance of a real wood fire while providing a new level of convenience and cleanliness. By allowing you to load wood from an adjacent changing room or from outside, it keeps your sauna sanctuary free of bark, smoke, and debris. It’s the perfect solution for the sauna purist who also appreciates smart, practical design.
It's a clever and simple design. The main body of the stove sits inside your sauna, heating the rocks as usual. However, it features an extended firebox—or "snout"—that passes through the sauna wall. This allows you to open the firebox door and add wood from the other side, completely separated from your clean sauna space.
The primary benefits are convenience and cleanliness. You can tend the fire without having to bring firewood into the sauna or letting heat escape by opening the main door. For saunas with a changing room, the front of the stove can also act as a small, cozy fireplace, adding warmth and ambiance to your preparation area.
A sauna wood stove with an outside feed requires a precise, properly insulated cutout in the sauna wall for the firebox extension to pass through safely. Like any wood stove, it also requires a solid foundation and a safe chimney system for ventilation. For a complete overview of installation best practices, our comprehensive guide to wood fired heaters is a must-read.
