Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 12 kW and 18 kW Cozy SW TW models?
The 12 kW SW TW is designed for sauna rooms from 210 to 423 cubic feet. The 18 kW SW TW is built for larger rooms from 317 to 635 cubic feet. The 18 kW model supports more stones, accommodates longer firewood, and can heat larger rooms more quickly due to its higher output.
How does the thru-wall design work?
The firebox passes through the wall of the sauna so you load wood from an adjacent room or exterior space. This helps keep ash and debris out of the sauna interior and reduces heat loss since you do not need to open the sauna door each time you add wood.
How many stones do I need for each model?
The 12 kW SW TW requires at least 265 lbs of sauna stones. The 18 kW SW TW requires at least 353 lbs of stones. Many installers recommend buying an additional box of stones so you can choose shapes that fit well and allow for better airflow.
What type of stones should I use?
Use natural sauna stones such as olivine or peridotite in the 10 to 15 cm range. Do not use river rocks or decorative stones. Proper sauna stones are designed to withstand high temperatures and deliver better heat retention and steam quality.
Does the Cozy SW TW require a chimney?
Yes. A certified wood-burning chimney system is required for safe operation. Use a flue and chimney kit that meets local building and fire codes and is specifically rated for wood-burning sauna stoves. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
How long does it take to heat the sauna?
Typical heat-up time ranges from 45 to 75 minutes depending on room size, insulation, stone loading, and wood quality. The 18 kW model usually heats larger rooms more quickly because of its higher output and larger firebox.
Is the glass viewing window heat-resistant?
Yes. The stove uses heat-resistant, tempered glass so you can safely enjoy the view of the fire while maintaining a relaxing and comfortable sauna environment.
Do I need professional installation?
Professional installation is highly recommended. A qualified installer will configure the chimney, verify clearances to combustibles, and ensure the stove meets local building and fire safety requirements for wood-burning appliances.
