    • Choose a suitable location for the sauna tent, preferably on a flat and stable surface.
    • Assemble the sauna tent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure all parts are securely in place.

  2. Ventilation:

    • Ensure the sauna tent has proper ventilation. Some tents may have built-in vents, while others may require leaving a portion of the tent open for fresh air circulation.

  3. Heating Source:

    • If the sauna tent requires an external heating source (such as a wood-fired stove), set it up according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
    • Ensure the heating source is placed a safe distance from the tent walls and any flammable materials.

  4. Preheat the Sauna:

    • Start the heating source and allow the sauna tent to preheat. This may take some time, depending on the type of heating element used..

  5. Session Duration:

    • Sauna sessions typically last between 10 to 30 minutes. Start with a shorter duration if you are new to sauna use and gradually increase as your body becomes accustomed.

  6. Hydration:

    • Stay hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after the sauna session. Avoid alcohol or excessive caffeine intake.

  7. Cool Down Period:

    • After the sauna session, exit the tent and allow your body to cool down gradually. Consider taking a cool shower or stepping outside for fresh air.

  8. Clean and Store:

    • If applicable, clean the sauna tent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

  9. Safety Precautions:

Using a wood-fired sauna stove properly is essential for safety and an enjoyable sauna experience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a wood-fired sauna stove:

  1. Prepare the Sauna:

    • Ensure the sauna space is clean and well-ventilated.
    • Place sauna rocks on or around the stove. These will be heated and provide steam when water is poured on them.

  2. Check Ventilation:

    • Confirm that the sauna room has proper ventilation to allow for fresh air circulation. Good ventilation is crucial for a safe and comfortable sauna experience.

  3. Prepare Firewood:

    • Use dry, seasoned firewood for the stove. Avoid using green or wet wood as it can produce excessive smoke and reduce heating efficiency.

  4. Start the Fire:

    • Place a small amount of kindling or newspaper in the firebox.
    • Arrange the firewood in a way that promotes good airflow.
    • Light the fire, and gradually add more wood as needed.

  5. Control Airflow:

    • Adjust the air vents on the stove to control the combustion rate. This helps regulate the temperature inside the sauna.

  6. Heat the Sauna Rocks:

    • Allow the fire to heat the sauna rocks. This process usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the stove's size and design.

  7. Monitor Temperature:

    • Keep an eye on the sauna thermometer to ensure the temperature is within a comfortable range. Traditional sauna temperatures range from 150°F to 220°F (65°C to 90°C).

  8. Add Water to Create Steam:

    • Once the sauna is sufficiently heated, add water to the sauna rocks using a ladle. This creates steam, enhancing the sauna experience.

  9. Enjoy Sauna Sessions:

    • Enter the sauna and relax. Repeat the process of adding water to the rocks as needed to maintain the desired level of humidity.

  10. Cool Down Safely:

    • When finished, allow the sauna stove to cool down before attempting to move or clean it.
    • Close the air vents to extinguish the fire safely.

  11. Clean and Maintain:

    • Regularly clean the stove and remove ash buildup.
