22 990
Sauna stove with the largest viewing screen (diagonal 58 cm), a great design solution. Outwardly, this is a full-fledged large fireplace, paired with a heater (up to 45 kg of stones). The furnace is best suited for a Finnish sauna of 8-18 cubic meters. The furnace consists of two parts: ventilated and deaf to create the lightest steam. The maximum length of firewood is 50 cm. The ash box extends to the left, but if you wish, you can move it to the right - the mechanism is universal. The stove is demanding on the chimney, because there are few moves in the firebox and the pressure of the gases going up is very high.

Classic sauna stove for the Russian sauna. Made from heat-resistant alloy steel. It has a special two-stage vaporization system due to the heater, divided into two parts, open and closed.

To prevent too much water from entering the heater, a metering valve is built into the funnel. The furnace is designed for steam room 8-18 cubic meters. The 40-liter firebox is reinforced in places of the greatest load - this prolongs the life of the device.

A large, powerful cast-iron stove that can heat several rooms up to 45 cubic meters at once. The design features — thick walls (up to 60 mm) and the absence of welding and bolted connections — make it possible to withstand the highest thermal loads. It has the highest efficiency among sauna stoves - 90%, the fastest time for heating a steam room and the lightest steam.

It is worth noting the large weight of the model - in the basic configuration is 350 kg, so the floor in your bath should be strong enough. And the wallet - thick.
