5. Troubleshooting
If the stove or the sauna fails to work as you think they should, go through the following check
list.
Smoke leaks into the sauna, bad draught.
Is the chimney valve open?
Is the connecting pipe attached tightly both to the stove and the chimney?
There mustn't be any air leaks.
Is the flame plate in the upper part of the stove clean of ash?
Is the connecting pipe between stove and chimney clear of ash?
Is the chimney fully open?
In need of sweeping, stuffed with snow, winter cap on etc.
Is the chimney intact?
Cracks, weathered
Is the draught height (chimney height) sufficient with regard to the environment?
Nearby trees, a steep hill etc. requires more than 3.5. metres as measured from the
chimney floor.
Is the chimney’s size correct?
At least a half brick wide or, depending on stove model, a round chimney of 115-130mm.
The stove stones do not heat up sufficiently.
Has the stove been fired sufficiently?
You should burn at least one compartment full of split, dry logs according to instructions.
Is there too much draught?
The flames reach into the connecting pipe, which is red hot, although the lower end of the
stove within the mantle is not red. See chapter 3.3. about draught adjustment and heat
output.
Is the draught too weak?
See chapter 3.2. about draught adjustment.
Correct amount of stones?
Are the stones packed too tight?
The stones need to be stacked in such a way that there is enough air between them. See
chapter 2.2. “Stones and their arrangement”.
Are the stones good quality and the correct size?
Suitable stones are peridotite or dunite of a length of over 10 cm and not too flat.
The sauna does not get hot enough.
Is the sauna new or the wooden structure otherwise moist?
For instance, a new log cabin sauna warms up properly past 80 o C only after a year.
Is the stove properly heated?
Has the stove been fired sufficiently?
You should burn at least one compartment full of split, dry logs according to instructions.
Is there too much draught?
The flames reach into the connecting pipe, which is red hot, although the lower end of the
