About Woodburning Sauna Heaters

Follow back the history of sauna heaters and you will find that their centers consisted of roaring natural wood fires and reddened stones that issued whip cracks of spitting steam when water was ladled onto them. Their intense heat and subsequent temp spikes well above the newer electric heaters hearken back to the very heart of the sauna bath experience, and traditionalists have been known to wistfully recall such experiences enough to wish to bring them back into modern day. Welcome the wood burning sauna heater. Dramatically combining the needs of traditionalists with the safety and security of today's technology, both Catalina and Polar cater to those needing their old traditions back in the forefront of their love of sauna.

The very nature of the tending of the fire, the stoking of the stones, and the other such practices capture the best of native wood fired saunas of Finland. The ritual and subsequent relaxation of the sounds and encompassing heat bring your senses together in an experience like no other. The enjoyment in the sauna is complete: the gentle heat, the right humidity and the crackling fire.
