Wood-Burning Saunas

Wood-fired heaters do not rely on an electric heating element. Confirm stove, chimney and clearance requirements, local fire rules, and whether lights or controls need separate power.

What to consider

Fire safety

Stoves require manufacturer-specified clearances, a proper chimney and spark protection. Do not assume wood-burning saunas are exempt from permits.

Local rules

Some areas restrict wood burning or require inspection. Check with your local building and fire authorities.

Operation

Plan for firewood storage, stove operation and ash cleanup. Do not infer heat-up time from fuel alone.

How we pick

The two AURGOD models are research candidates, not proven winners. Chimney, clearances and local fire code must be checked for the configuration you order.

Fire safety first

Wood stoves need the manufacturer's clearances to combustibles, a properly installed chimney, spark/ember protection and often a permit. Check with your local building and fire authority and your insurer before ordering.
