About this buildout.

HUUM built the Flow so more of the heat from the wood goes into the room and less up the chimney; its maker's test data gives a gross efficiency of 74.9 percent. It holds 330 lb of stones and takes firewood up to 16 inches long.

The HIVE Flow is fed from the front inside the sauna. The HIVE Flow LS adds a firebox extension that passes through the wall, so the fire is fed from the next room. The LS is deeper, 29.5 inches against 24.8, and a little heavier.

The flue connects at the top or the back. The stove ships with a metal grate, an ash grate, an ash drawer, two cleaning hatches, two metal fixing plates, splints and a heat resistant glove. A buildout adds ten boxes of HUUM Stones 24, rounded olivine diabase of 2 to 4 inches.
