Customer Spotlight: LaDon’s 8′ x 8′ BluFlame Sauna—A Clean-Burning Heat and Steam Machine

November 26, 2025

“I just wanted to share my sauna build after stopping by your shop a few weeks ago to pick up a chimney surround. We sauna about 3–4 times a week when we’re at our cabin, and the Medium BluFlame has been absolutely perfect for our 8′ x 8′ hot room.

Most of the time I run around 170°F, but if I want a really intense session, the BluFlame can take the temperature as high as I want. The steam is incredible — the chimney surround gives the water a perfect path to run down, and it produces clean, strong löyly every time.

Honestly, when I’m not at the lake, I catch myself thinking about my next sauna. I think I’m addicted to it!

We love the stove. It’s amazing. Thank you to your entire team for building such a great product.”
