I really want to build one outdoors stand alone. Not a tiny thing like the Costco model. Just thinking how good it makes me feel.

It's only a mind picture now. But seat 4 comfortably, maybe more. But I am largely ignorant. LP tank near, but I will need electricity for lights, I suppose. Water is near as well.

Do they make LP rock heaters?

I haven't looked for plans or kits or anything, have not even googled.

I'm sure hecklers will respond, but has anyone built a steam sauna?

Indoor or outdoor?
Don't forget the drains.
For all the saunas I saw in Scandinavia, I never thought to ask if they were professionally installed or home made.
My money's on professioanlly done in the vast majority of cases because one's home insurance is too involved with electric, plumbing, heating elements and increased visitor traffic.

Several were dedicated separate buildings.
I'd bet wood fired examples would have to be in a separate building.

Anyone remember the small ones Costco sold?
