This stove is amazing. Very long and accommodating to some longer logs. The heat shields are great. What i really like about this stove is that it is a longer stove and can also hold more rocks. A lot of other stoves do not have the same rock capacity which really makes a difference for maintaining the heat as well as providing more surface area for steaming purposes. Would recommend this to anyone looking!
I got the sauna tent and stove package and love it all. Everything seems well made and is easy to assemble. The two-tier bench is comfortable and seems durable. Ox Sweat has been great with communication and customer service too!
We use so little wood to run this woodstove - it fires up quickly and heats the tent in just a few minutes. The slender design doesn't take up a lot of space in the tent and we love the little ox logo that glows red when the stove is hot!
We purchased the sauna tent package with benches. It is easy to set up and take down, simple to use the stove and gets to temperature within 20 minutes. We were surprised at the efficiency of the stove and temperature retention in the tent, even in single degree temperatures. All of the materials seem durable and feel good quality. We have it set up in a field on our property and have taken it down for heavy snow/rain or high winds, but leave it up otherwise. It’s absolutely incredible to get the fire going when we get home in the evening and have a sauna looking at the stars. The Ox Sweat team was easy to reach, responsive and helpful when we needed to add benches after purchasing the package and sent a rain cover to us immediately after we noticed it hadn’t been included in the initial shipment. If you are hesitating about this purchase, do it! We are really happy we did.
Have used the sauna twice so far. It's easy to set up and take down, quality materials, and maintained heat fairly well! Didn't have a thermometer but it got hot enough to cold plunge in river with 25 degree weather. Good substitute for someone who rents or doesn't have the space for a permanent sauna. Portability is awesome for taking to lakes and rivers!
