Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this estimator?
This estimator provides a simplified calculation and should be used as a general guide. Actual firewood consumption can vary significantly based on factors like sauna insulation, stove efficiency, outdoor temperature, wood type, and how often the door is opened.
What units are used for input and output?
Sauna dimensions are in meters (m), desired temperature in Celsius (°C), and session duration in hours. The estimated firewood is given in kilograms (kg), a common unit for selling firewood in many regions.
Can I use this for electric saunas?
No, this tool is specifically designed for traditional wood-burning Finnish saunas. Electric saunas have different energy consumption metrics and do not use firewood.
