Replacing a Wood Burning Sauna Heater After Only 2 Years

[@Feledwards]

I can’t believe how thin the metal is. Not surprised it’s toast after 2 years.

If you live in the US the only stove to get is Kuuma. Your grandkids will still be using it when they're adults.

I've just purchased a Sauna and Harvia 20 pro. If it fails at 2 year, i would be expecting a replacement or full refund. Shocking treatment. That or the amount of bad reviews to get them to change their act.

Harvia are not good nowadays. My Harvia Legend Last about 2 1/2 years And burnd holes on both sides...

If you get that kind of hole in your stove in 2 years you're burning it too hot for too long no matter what the brand is.

bullshit

@@rafb145 casse82 is right. it's also pretty important what kind of wood is used. I have built saunas over 25 years, mainly in Japan, Hong Kong and eastern Russia and most common mistake at least in China and Japan is that they tend to burn Eucalyptus in them and it burns extremely hot. No matter what brand, the stove is fucked in less than a year. Been there, done that and bought the t-shirt... Greetings from Finland

Hi ! Have you noticed smoke inside sauna as in my link? m.kzbin.info2rM8U4Pczs8?feature=share

I've been using a 30 year old cast iron stove in my sauna for years with no holes. Fairly certain you could not burn a hole through it if you tried.

​@@distantlight4527 I don't think any brand is using cast iron stoves these days. Not comparable.
