Cool deal!

Thanks man

Thanks!

I just made one of these...it doesn't work

Dude it totally works. It works like crazy. What’s the issue?

@@mediocreman5103 Does the thickness of the tent material matter? My pop-up is thin nylon, like a regular camping tent.

Thanks!!!

I only use the sauna rocks that they sell for sauna use.

Thank you! Any standard steel charcoal basket. I’m going to build a mini log cabin at my ranch and video the build. But that will be after my bow hunting trip for mule deer and javelina In Arizona which I’m filming next week. Check out my shed cabin video lots of good ideas in that one.

Then you need an electricity source. This you can do anywhere.

I don’t remember but I got it off Amazon and just sized it with the Turkey burner. If you go to my video list you will also see a 4 part video series on how to build a steam sauna.

Cool!

Interesting, did you try this?

I ordered a box off of Amazon. Just search "sauna stones" it will come up.

Well you could build a fire heat up the rocks in a steel bucket and use major oven mitts to move them into the tent.

As long as you are careful

@@mediocreman5103 right on. I ended up doing the deep fryers setup inside grow tent. Works excellent for ~$200 until I get a real sauna space.

You don’t have any to carry hot rocks or use propane inside

15 minutes is what I usually do. Depends, if you feel dizzy....get out.

@@mediocreman5103 thanks

No sure didn’t measure it but feels like 180

No because you heat up the rocks OUTSIDE the tent. Then shut off propane and lift tent over rocks. So ZERO issues because outside.

@@mediocreman5103 well heck, that's pretty cool! I re-watched now and feel dumb, because you mentioned it...pretty badass vid. Thanks for sharing!

Sean Scalisi all good man. It was a hastily shot video, wasn't planning to shoot it. That's why my hair is sticking up etc. But thanks, I have been looking into 2-4 person cedar barrel steam saunas for my ranch. The problem is the cheapest is $3000 an even if you built it on your own the wood and heater costs add up to not much less than that. So.....the tent is a good solution. But ultimately I am going to get a barrel sauna for my ranch because they are super cool....probably next year.

@@mediocreman5103 funny reply. I commend you for your efforts and leading the way for sauna lovers. Gonna subscribe and maybe keep up!

Hot air rises. Did you stuff a paper towel in the openings? Should be hot.

@@mediocreman5103 Yea, i put a paper towel in the openings (then duct taped over them), but like you can see in 4:23 of the video the steam just rises and permeates the tent. If the tent was made out of material that wasn't as breathable it might work. I MacGyver'd mine to work decently with a portabe space heater and 2 deep fryer steamers, but i think after things finally heat up i am going to put everything away and chalk this one up as a loss

Well sorry to hear that. Are you using an ice fishing tent? I just don’t underhand cause we sweated like crazy in mine. Like crazy hot.

@@NothingToDoCrew maybe you need more rocks?

Good tip! Wrong rocks or not enough to hold heat

I have not used a thermometer but I wouldn’t estimate about 180-190

@@mediocreman5103 Yeh..that's hot .

@deltafour1212 yeah you don’t want your eyeballs over the steam. You can lower the temp by using less water on the rocks and leaving the tent vents open.

@@mediocreman5103 Have you ever used it in winter temperatures like Mid west winter temps?

@@deltafour1212 lowest temp so far about 35 degrees.
