Why Choose Cozy Heat Sauna Stones?

• Consistent Heat Retention: Dense natural stones act as thermal mass, supporting stable temperatures and smooth heat recovery between ladlings.
• Durable & Long-Lasting: Engineered for high-heat environments, these stones offer reliable performance when installed and maintained correctly.
• Authentic Sauna Feel: Ideal for Finnish-style sauna rituals where water is periodically poured on hot stones to create a relaxing atmosphere.
• Easy Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with Cozy Heat wood-burning sauna stoves and many compatible traditional heaters.

How to Use & Maintain

1. Check Compatibility: Confirm that your sauna heater is designed for natural split-face stones and verify the total stone volume recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Rinse Before First Use: Lightly rinse stones to remove dust or small debris if needed, then allow them to dry completely before loading.
3. Load Stones Carefully: Place larger stones at the bottom and smaller ones on top, creating gaps for airflow between stones. Do not wedge stones tightly or block air passages.
4. Preheat Properly: Follow your heater’s instructions for warm-up time before adding water for steam to help maintain heater longevity and consistent performance.
5. Add Water Gradually: Use a ladle and pour water slowly over the stones to produce gentle, controlled steam instead of splashing large amounts at once.
6. Inspect Regularly: Over time, stones can crack or crumble under repeated heating. Inspect periodically and replace broken or heavily worn stones to maintain airflow and heating efficiency.

Ideal For

• Homeowners upgrading or refreshing stones in a traditional wood-fired sauna
• New sauna installations needing reliable, heat-retaining sauna rocks
• Builders and contractors outfitting custom sauna rooms with Cozy Heat stoves
• Users seeking an authentic Finnish-style “water on stones” sauna experience

FAQs

How many boxes of stones do I need for my sauna heater?

Every heater model is different. Check your heater’s manual for the recommended total stone weight or volume. Then divide that number by 44 lb to estimate how many boxes of Cozy Heat stones you need. When in doubt, slightly overestimate so you have enough to fill the basket correctly.

Are these stones compatible with electric sauna heaters?

Yes, as long as your electric heater is designed for traditional sauna rocks and specifies a 10–15 cm split-face stone size. Always follow your electric heater manufacturer’s stone type and loading instructions to avoid damage or warranty issues.

How often should I replace my sauna stones?

Replacement intervals depend on frequency of use and operating temperatures. As a general guideline, inspect stones every few months and replace any that are cracked, crumbling, or heavily worn. Many users refresh a portion of their stones annually to maintain good airflow and heat performance.

Do I need to clean the stones?

Light maintenance is recommended. Before first use, a quick rinse can remove dust. Over time, you can lift out stones and gently brush or rinse off debris as needed. Allow stones to dry completely before returning them to the heater. Never use detergents or harsh chemicals on sauna stones.

Can I mix these stones with other types of sauna rocks?

It’s best to use one compatible stone type per heater for predictable performance and airflow. If you do mix, keep similar sizes and types together, and always respect the heater manufacturer’s guidance on stone material and loading style.

Pro Tip: When loading your Cozy Heat sauna stones, stack them loosely with small air gaps between each stone. Good airflow through the heater basket helps your stove heat faster, maintain stable temperatures, and produce smoother, more consistent steam every session.
