The stove heats the air and the stones inside it the traditional way, with dry radiant heat that can climb as high as 190°F. Pour water from the included bucket over the hot stones with the scoop whenever you want steam, that's the classic sauna ritual an infrared cabin can't replicate. A sand timer lets you track your session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Sauna vs Infrared Sauna, What's Actually Different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA traditional sauna like the Forssa heats the air around you using a hot stove and stones, the same way saunas have worked for centuries, and it lets you add steam by pouring water on the rocks. An infrared sauna instead uses panels that warm your body directly at a lower air temperature, with no steam option. Neither is better across the board, it comes down to whether you want the higher heat and steam ritual of a traditional sauna or the lower, steadier warmth of infrared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Results Can You Actually Expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular traditional sauna use is associated with relaxation, easier breathing in the steam, and a deep sense of unwinding after a session.
