Hot tips
Keep feeding logs into the stove, leaving plenty of space between them for airflow. Smaller logs will burn faster and hotter.
Using cold water on the coals will make the sauna cold! Add a couple of jugs of water (you can take this from the pool or waterfall) to the kettle above the wood burning stove at the start of your session.
Wait to break a sweat before using the hot water tap to sprinkle hot water onto the coals.
Pouring lots of water on the stove and then opening the door will remove heat from the sauna.
Use the higher bench for a hotter experience, and the lower for less intensity.
Stow water bottles on the floor by the door. Cool fresh air is drawn through the gap under the door by the stove
Plunge for as long as you can bear (90 - 120 seconds is ideal). The sensation of entering the sauna after being chilled to the bone is extraordinary
