Sauna, my storage place for all sorts of junk. Except when I want to go to Sauna - then I need to empty it!
A basket full of birch and my brewing thermometer hanging on the wall.
And the heart of the Sauna - the wood burning stove. In Finnish, the sauna's stove is called a "kiuas".
These special rocks hold water and make an even longer lasting steam.
Since we're kinda like rednecks and stuff, we just cook some sausages right above the kiuas and eat them when we feel like it.
Getting ready to mix up some water to throw on top of the kiuas. We have choice of scenting it with either tar or eucalyptus. I prefer tar (terva).
Almost 50 degrees, starting to get hot. We go in when it reaches about 80 celcius.
Adjusting the door vents and the ash tray to get just the right pull for the maximum fire power!
Hmm, time to put some more wood into the kiuas...
