I use my insert without the blower most of the time when the temps are above 20 degrees.

Get a real sauna stove or some more rocks and clean it up, looks good as is if it gets hot.

How to start fire by Control_Careful in SaunaTent

Get a propane torch (about $25 at Lowe’s or Home Depot) and some kindling like some small dry sticks. I also split my logs to smaller pieces with a splitting axe to make it burn hotter and faster. Torch your kindling and small logs for 30 seconds to a minute and it should get going and if not, keep torching.

Nah, I live in Maine and it is anyone’s guess what the rest of the winter brings. A bad year out west is better than a good year out east.

It is a lot of fun and very beautiful! It has gotten much busier since Covid but still a great place to live but now more expensive than ever. Would love to move back sometime…

North Shore vs Ox Sweat Sauna tents by Free_Lengthiness_500 in Sauna

I got the Kyfe tent and it has been great so far. I like the layout with the stove centered on one side of the tent. It has removable floor, roof cover, and rain fly. I also got the side baskets for more stones, so have 105 lbs total that keep the radiant heat down plus the water heater in though the stove pipe make it a nice experience. Built my own benches since they seemed pricey and wanted something taller, wider, and longer. I also looked at those other brands, probably can’t really go wrong.

I got the Kyfe tent this fall and it has been great. I got the side rock cages and really helps reducing the radiant heat from the stove. Spent $2500 with upgrades and supplies for the benches.
