 Yo @NVK, I’ve been starting to look into outdoor home sauna information, now that I have room for one (still need to convince the wife 🤣)

I see a lot of small wood stoves listed on 2nd hand marketplaces.  Given the ventilation is all done properly, can any stove be used?  Or does does it need to be a specific type?

🤙

 I don't like wood stoves, takes tooling to get things going and extra overhead. Get electrical.

 Noted, thanks for the tip!

I guess the major drawback is I’d need some electrical work done.  Will look into it.

 They can pull 220 from a 110 service.

 Also good to know 🤙

My house is old (by US standards).  The electric system already struggles to keep up, so I may need some work regardless
