How to Choose the Right Wood-Burning Sauna Kit

When selecting a wood-burning sauna kit, consider the size of your sauna space and the number of people who will be using it regularly. For smaller saunas or fewer users, the Harvia Legend 150 or HUUM HIVE 12kW models may be sufficient. However, if you have a larger sauna or plan on hosting more people, opt for the Harvia Legend 240 or HUUM HIVE 17kW models to ensure ample heat and steam production.

Also, think about your personal style preferences. If you enjoy a more traditional, rustic sauna look, the Harvia Legend series with its patinated steel finish may be the perfect fit. On the other hand, if you prefer a modern, minimalist aesthetic, the HUUM HIVE series with its sleek design and stainless steel construction may be more appealing.

Regardless of your choice, all our wood-burning sauna kits are designed to provide an authentic, deeply satisfying sauna experience. With their high-quality construction, efficient heat output, and included accessories, these kits make it easy to create your own private sauna oasis at home.
