  You've done saunas for years. This is not your first rodeo. You get it nice and warm, put your favorite aroma oils in the water bucket, go in and get comfortable on the bench, with your favorite music playing. Throw a few ladles of that great smelling water on the rocks and enjoy. You're in your best sauna. But, are you really?

Have you ever had anyone in the sauna whip out their towel and start spinning it to circulate the air around? All of the sudden, the air gets hotter, the aroma scent thicker, and the sauna feeling much much better! The formal history of it, I guess, is that it's a ritual. The formal name-- Aufguss. From German meaning "infusion" as the following site explains:

If you've read the blog post from the link above, there are professionals that do the towel spinning. They're called the Aufgussmister. But, no need to be that technical, this is your private sauna after all. However, if you don't feel like spinning your sweat-soaked towel around and adding aroma you don't intend, there are sauna accessories that can be purchased online that will help you achieve that next level sauna. 

One such fan was designed and is used in both of my saunas. The Sauna Twister is a fun an easy way to get the air moving and makes the sauna more enjoyable. Give it a try today and support this blog!

Sauna and Campfires

    One of my favorite aspects of a wood burning sauna is watching the fire flicker in the stove while you're on the bench warming up. Especially if it's freezing outside and everything is covered in snow.

As great as it is, periodically you have to get out of the sauna and cool down. I think sauna is about being social. It's not the same doing it alone. When inside heating up, conversations with friends and family are a big part of the experience. Cooling down outside, the conversations can continue by the campfire. I think a person can watch a campfire burn for hours. The fact that it also gives off heat is a bonus. This heat allows you to spend more time outside cooling down and prolongs the conversations.

 Another benefit of a campfire is the smell. Sure, you get the wood burning smell in the sauna when you open the stove door to throw in a log, but by the campfire, you get to enjoy it longer.

Saunas and campfires go hand and hand

When building your sauna or looking to improve an existing sauna experience, don't forget about your outdoor space. Make sure you make space, have lighting for evening hours and cold winters, comfortable seating and most importantly, a firepit for campfires!
