To be clear: The smoke comes inside only when you heat the sauna and goes out trough small opening in the wall. You bath after the fire is out, not when the sauna is full of smoke.
What is left is the smell of smoke in the walls.
- emerongi 5y agoThis is correct, however you will still breathe in smoke "residue", which can be a bit uncomfortable and it will also cling to your body/hair. Even if you wash thoroughly after the sauna, you will notice a smoke smell on your hair. A smoke sauna is just an inferior version of the modern Finnish sauna. It's a bit of a hassle to prepare and I personally dislike the "smoke effect".
- nabla9 5y agoI agree. So called "aitokiuas" type stoves replicates the gentle heat feeling that comes from heat storing smoke sauna without the smoke. They can be electric or wood stoves. https://narvi.fi/en/product/aitokiuas-ak47-ak57k/ https://narvi.fi/en/product/aitokiuas-ak47-ak57k/
