I have an itch to build a backyard mini cottage with a wood sauna. I see these heaters which I like. I'd like to get a stove that I can feed wood from the inside so that I can use it as a mini cottage as well. Some sauna's have outside stove feed, and I don't think I want that, although for just a sauna that's probably smart.

Has anyone built one?

I saw a documentary on Swedish or Norwegian saunas. Inside fire, in fact, they smoked meat up in the rafters of their sauna.

I don’t really have anything to add here, except the pleasant thought of slabs of bacon curing above you in the sauna.

Hey, I have room for a few pigs back there too !

I’m intrigued with your idea.

This cottage is the sauna? Add water to generate steam when you want a sauna, if overnight guests show up they sleep in the toasty warm sauna without adding water?

Ya, but I don't need it to sleep guests in though. I could have it lined with cedar boards in one half with a wide door. Then in the other end have a sitting area with windows and skylight. Big double garden doors with windows. I have a spot where I have my outdoor wood fireplace, so I could have a covered porch to sit in front of the outdoor fire. Then have the inside fire to have a sauna or hang out.
I was going to have to build a wood deck anyway as all I have now is a gravel area where they filled in a fish pond. I just hope my back can handle the work...there would be no rush though...build it in the spring. Could run water out there from a garden hose and have water for the sauna rocks and an outdoor shower. They pay big money to go to these Nordic spas up here.

I used to live near this one.

Sounds impressive!

Anything that extends outdoor time in the “shoulder season” is a plus.

Most of my guests are my wife’s relatives. The opportunity to tell them the next day repeatedly that they smell like ham might seal the deal for a smoker/sauna/guest house. I think I’d be giggling about that weeks after they went home.

Imagine waking them up to go look at your hams and add wood to the fire. They'd probably be dead anyway from smoke.
I don't think that other one you posted was a sauna anymore unless it was in the left side somehow.
