r/Sauna

Finding it difficult to find the major pros and cons between the IKI 9kw wall short and tall heaters. I’ll have a window above the heater. With the tall, the window would be another 3-4” away from the heater.

Room height will be 7’ 5”. 6’x7’ room.

What am I forgetting about here? Maybe less rocks down low that would be warm enough for good loyly? Curious if anyone has the short and could offer some insight.

Thanks everyone! Love this group.

My friend built a sauna, we get lucky enough to use it a few times a month. I didn’t get to help building it as much as I would have liked so I’m looking to get some items for the sauna to help out.

I’d like to get them a really nice thermostat and some good scents for a start. When I look online a lot of the websites look very sketchy. No reviews or just copy and pasted websites. I’m wondering what websites most people use for buying stuff like this in Canada, I haven’t seen any stores around me.

Howdy!

I have a sauna that gets fired everyday, and usually sees about 50 folks every week. I've noticed a distinctly "banana" smell coming from the wood, specifically from the sauna ladle. It all gets cleaned every 3 days with water and castile soap, any other tips to help or an explanation as to why it smells like bananas? I feel like I'm going crazy!
