3.4.1. A SAUNA bATH ON JUST ONE LOAD OF WOOD,
LIGHTING FROM bELOW
Place two smallish logs lengthwise in the re compartment.•
Add some lighting aids between the logs and light them. •
Then place a few logs crosswise on the previous ones. •
Close the door and leave the ash compartment door open •
by about 3 cm.
Once these latest logs have burned some ve minutes,
straighten them into the grate direction and ll the re com-
partment lengthwise with solid split logs. Close the door and
leave the ash door open by 3 cm for a short while.
After this, slow down the burning by closing the ash door gap
to 0.5–2 cm. During this heating phase, the re compartment
walls should only heat up for a while to a red glow in their
upper parts. Usually, this will prepare the sauna for your bath
in about 40–50 minutes, and you should not need to add
rewood during your stay.
3.4.2. A SAUNA bATH ON JUST ONE LOAD OF WOOD,
LIGHTING FROM AbOVE
Lighting from above is a departure from tradition. With this
method, stove and stones heat up slightly more slowly than
with the usual way, but once you have found a good combina-
tion of stove and chimney adjustments, the dierence is not
very big.
Lighting from above is more ecological, causes less emissions
and raises more heat energy from the rewood. As a result,
you can bathe on less wood for a longer time.
Check that the chimney valve is wide open.•
Use dry wood that has preferably been indoors for a day.•
Fill the re compartment with rewood up to the door’s •
upper edge.
Place ignition helpers on top, e.g. small sticks and a piece •
of bark.
Light the ignition helpers from the top.•
Close the door and leave the ash compartment door open •
by 3 cm.
Once the re has burned for 5–10 minutes, the burning can •
be adjusted by closing the ash door to 0.5–2 cm. Restrict
excessive draft with the chimney valve, if necessary.
During this heating phase, the re compartment walls should
only heat up for a while to a red glow in their upper parts. Usu-
ally, this will prepare the sauna for your bath in about 50–60
minutes, and you should not need to add rewood during your
stay.
3.4.3 CONTINUING THE HEATING WITH A SECOND LOAD
Depending on how much you bathe, frost outside etc., you may
need to continue the heating with a second load. Once the rst
load has turned to embers (in about 40–60 minutes, if the
draft is right), place sturdy logs lengthwise in the re compart-
ment. If you are not going into the sauna immediately after
adding the wood, leave the ash door gaping by a few millimet-
res. Now the re should remain just right for a long time. When
you do go into the sauna, you can add a few logs, if necessary.
