The KIP in graphite black, driven by a separate Xenio or Fenix digital control.
The Harvia KIP pairs with a separate digital control, which puts the timer, thermostat and WiFi outside the hot room and lets you start the sauna from your phone. A dual-wall construction keeps the exterior cool to the touch, and the stones sit directly on the elements for fast, generous steam. This is the graphite black finish of the heater we have sold in stainless for years.

Stones
Sold separately. This heater requires 44 lb (20 kg) of 5-10 cm split-face stones — 1 box of AC3000. Fill the stone compartment loosely but completely; a sparsely filled compartment exposes the elements and is a fire hazard.
