Sauna Stove Chimney Height

[Kurt in MT]

I am looking to build an outdoor sauna next spring, with a wood fired heater (stove). The sauna stove manufacturers don’t seem to say much about chimney height. One (Huum) has specs calling for 12 Pa draft. Can anyone give me guidance on whether these sauna stoves (which seem to be smaller and have less output than typical modern wood stoves) require class A chimneys as high as you would expect in a regular stove (e.g., 15ft). On the Huum, it has 4.5 “ collar opening and requires 12Pa......how tall is that in the real world? Thanks.

12 pa equals 0.048” water which is right in the middle of standard draft requirements for wood stoves.

I’m guessing you’ll need the standard 12-15’
