HUUM HIVE Wood Sauna Stove
The HIVE Wood is HUUM's wood burning sauna stove: a stainless steel firebox inside a round cage of stones, made in Estonia. It burns firewood and needs a chimney connection. It suits members who want a wood fired sauna, with the stones and the chimney set planned in.
Member pricing is quoted directly with a specialist, and specifications and availability are confirmed on the same call.

About this buildout.
There are three sizes. The HIVE Wood 13 holds 199 lb of stones and is listed for rooms of 212 to 459 cubic feet. The HIVE Wood 17 and HIVE Wood LS 17 hold 287 lb of stones and are listed for rooms of 283 to 565 cubic feet.
The 13 and 17 are fed from the front, inside the sauna. The LS 17 has a firebox extension that passes through the wall, so the fire is fed from the next room and the ash stays out of the sauna. Its door is a stainless steel frame holding tempered glass.
Every HIVE Wood is stainless steel with a stainless steel furnace door and a 1/5 inch stainless steel flame tamer, treated only with natural oils. A buildout includes the stove and its HUUM Stones 24, rounded olivine diabase stones of 2 to 4 inches. HUUM also makes a stone cage for extra stones above the stove and a water heat exchanger for the HIVE Wood, which we can add.

“David, the owner, worked with us to get a high quality sauna. David is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and responsive. He will have your sauna delivered to your home. He will then assemble the sauna and remove all the packaging. I highly recommend purchasing a sauna from Sauna Friend.”
Dennis DonovanFort Collins, CORead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”
Jessmine AndersonColoradoRead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
