Are tent saunas any good?
A lot I see when very quickly looking are plugged into the mains which seems to defeat the entire point of it being portable. If it was fire powered then it could actually be used anywhere. Like, at the beach in winter.
A tent sauna wastes tremendeous amounts of energy. You'll need a disproportianely large kiuas for a small space, and you will be wasting some extra wood. But otherwise, it does work. And also, needing to heat it more actively does increase the airflow, which is a nice thing!
At least firewood is very cheap per kWh compared to gas or electricity. Idea would be for infrequent usage away from home, though somewhat decent tent saunas still seem to cost a bit.
It's tempting but don't know if I would use it enough to justify the price.
You should get better results with the finnish word "telttasauna". Normally it would have a small wood stove.
