Thank you

Janina Perez Hi, thank you for your comments. It’s still working a treat.

OffGridNorthwest hi there thank you for your kind comment. Very easy to make with the right tools.

Hello Candy, Yes there are alot of good things to come out of a sauna, Health wise very good.

Nososvossoyyo thank you.

Hello James. Yes the sauna does help with my sleep. Great for the body. Hope the sauna helps with the blood pressure.

Eh up Daz, thank you for your kind words. I was a good few years ago now. But I can talk you through the stove build no problem. Cheers Phil.

@@pjack2008 appreciate the reply phil...that would be great fella.

@@daz8418 no problem at all. Have you sauced a gas cylinder yet?

@@pjack2008 i havent got anything yet phil...im gonna start sourcing materials needed (on a small budget ) so im looking round for deals on the cedar an insulation etc... what size cylinder did you use? and what tools did you use to fashion the stove...i have all the basic tools to build the sauna itself...

@@daz8418 it was a 15kg cylinder. Try your local tip....sometimes they will let them go for nothing. I used a local building merchants and got the kingspan cheap as is was slightly damaged. The wood is pine not cedar way cheaper. Just try to get ship latt, with not many knots in it as they I found store heat! 😳

Tris Tan Hi thanks for the loverly comment. the back of the stove I welded a 4” pipe and elbow, the flue is has a 4” to 6” adaptor that allows the flue to slide over and fits tightly against the pipe adaptor. Sorry but I’ve not got any pictures of me fitting this.

by that i mean the materials you've used to fix the chimney through the ceiling

Hello. The chimney I got from Ebay. Its got 1" thick insulation in it and was the single most expencive part around £100. Hope this helps and thank you.

5habba Hi, yes that would be fine no problem just make sure you have good insulation behind it.

@@pjack2008 Great, what size was your shed?

5habba it was a 3.5m x 3.5m mate.

How big was the sauna part of the shed? And was the 75 C the max temp?

Thank you.

Hello, with the height of the flue being around 2m there is little or no smoke at all due to the amount of draw up the flue, Again there is no real smoke smell other than first lighting the fire. I've seen temperatures of 80 degrees! but that was far too hot for me so keep it around 70 degrees which is a lot more bearable. Thank you for the comments very appreciated.

Hello Deokkyu, Thank you for your comments, The smell soon clears so you can enjoy the menthol smell from the cystals added to the water. Ive not used birch wood?

Hello, Thank you for your kind comments. The sauna has two air vents one directly behind the stove at floor level, the other is about head hight behind one of the benches. I'm happy with the temp ive been getting it up to but ive been experimenting with different fuels, Coal and wood pellets. these seam to keep temp alot better.

@@pjack2008 loved your craftsmanship, looks great, wish I could do something like that.

Quý Trần Hi yes it does......really really well.

colum77 Hello, thanks for your question. I bought the wood as it came from the diy store. It’s pressure treated but that’s all. I went with pine as it was the cheaper option. I haven’t had any issue with mould at all. I would say make sure you have a vent near the bottom of your stove and one up high near one of the corners. Good luck with your build. Cheers Phil.

@@pjack2008 Brilliant Phil, much appreciated, thanks again!

colum77 Hi sorry forgot to say if you can choose the wood you are buying try to get ones with no knots in them.......they store heat in the knot and can burn your A@@ or back! 🙈

Hello Carlos, Thank you for your question, No never had a problem with wet wood from the stove, the humidity is high so its a dry heat not a moist one.

papa paule Hi how are you? What I did was buy a cheap carbon monoxide monitor off eBay. Also I build the sauna with two vents. One low and behind the stove it’s self the other up at the top above one of the seats just to have good air flow. I placed the sauna stove inside the sauna to retain all its heat and also be able to place water on the stones to make the steam. What I would say also is make sure the flue is air tight and doesn’t allow any smoke to escape into the sauna. Hope all this helps and good luck with your build. Phil.

@@pjack2008 Hi Phil, yes, that does indeed help! Thanks for the swift reply :)

papa paule any time. Just drop me a message on here if you need any more help.

lude godine hi the stove was painted With heat proof paint but the temp in the stove went way over the recommended temperature and is now falling off but still works fine.

Kartyman550 hello. The hottest I’ve got it to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Not sure if that’s hot enough for you?

pjack2008 and you find that hot enough? Most traditional saunas are like 180+ Fahrenheit.

Kartyman550 sorry it’s 80 degree Celsius 176 Fahrenheit

@@pjack2008 Oh thats awesome. Thx. And how long does it take to warm up approx? Thx for the replies.

Kartyman550 Hi it takes around 30-45 mins to get up to temp. You then have have to feed it to keep the temp high.

dustin kraus hi sorry for the late reply🙈 I bought it from eBay? Have a look see if there are any second hand ones on there? Cheers Phil.

Very straight forward to build Nancy.

Hi Ken. Where are you in the world? the gas cylinder conversion didnt take too long to fabricate!

Central Florida. 80 miles north of orlando; in a town called Ocala...

Hi Ken, The travling time could be an issue! im in Yorkshire England!

Oh, I thought you were in the US. Disregard... lol

No problem Ken. If I was closer I could have helped you out.

Hi Josh it keeps constant at 70 degrees C.

Hello Sean, Without knowing what stove it is I couldnt possibly say but castiron and water do not mix! you would need to put the stones in a steel bowl on top of the hot plate

YES IT WILL...if it is cast.,.,..as I did 25 years ago....an old water pressure tank and some welding makes a nice stove.....good luck

That sounds interesting txbob.

Hello Tony than you for your question, The only real way of contoling tempurature is with the amount of fuel used, I can get it up to 70 degress with out a problem which ive found is a perfect temp for myself, Then adding water to the stove pushes the temp up a little more for that extra kick of steam.

Bryan McNamara hi it would take around 45 mins to get upto 70c

Hello, Yes it produces lots of steam. I add menthol crystals to the water.
