According to different sources, traditional wood-burning sauna stoves have one of the highest emission factors among residential heating appliances. The suggested solution includes a structure that makes the airflow circulate inside the stove to provide a better heat exchange and effectively burn combustible gases and particulates. The core is made of fireproof concrete, that resists temperatures high enough to achieve almost total combustion of wood. Its properties to accumulate and radiate heat for a long time allow using less wood.
