SAWO Wood Burning Sauna Heater
A wood-fired sauna heater (wood-burning sauna stove or kiuas) burns seasoned firewood to generate deep, radiant heat and an unparalleled sauna atmosphere.
When water meets the sauna stones piled atop the heater, it releases a burst of loyly; a soft steam that defines the traditional Finnish sauna bathing experience.

Introducing the SAWO-21
The choice for löyly enthusiasts across Victoria
The SAWO-21 wood-burning sauna stove is manufactured by SAWO Finland, one of the most respected names in traditional Finnish sauna engineering.
01
Authentic Finnish sauna, the choice for löyly enthusiasts
Wood-fired heat creates the dry-to-steam ratio purists demand.
02
No electricity required, low ongoing costs (firewood + basic maintenance)
Perfect for off-grid cabins, rural properties, and buyers who want independence from utility bills. Just wood, fire, and heat.
03
Health-conscious buyers invest in the SAWO-21 for the same reason Finns have for decades: consistent, deep heat that many people find relaxing after training, helping them unwind and slow the day down.
04
Scales to your sauna room
At 16kW and rated for 8–21m³, the SAWO-21 is the right size for most residential private saunas.
05
A centrepiece, not just an appliance
The brushed stainless steel finish and fire-view glass door make the SAWO-21 a visual statement.
06
Built to last decades with minimal maintenance
Finnish engineering is built for repeated high-heat cycles. Easy ash drawer removal keeps it low maintenance and reliable.
"The team at The Sauna Company made the whole process seamless — from choosing the right SAWO heater to organising delivery to our property in the Yarra Ranges. The loyly is extraordinary."
Michael R. — Yarra Ranges, Victoria
