The Cozy Heat SW Thru-Wall 18 is an 18 kW wood-burning sauna stove for rooms of 317–635 cubic feet. It holds 220 lb of stones (sold separately), needs no electrical supply, and requires a code-compliant chimney. The firebox extends through the sauna wall, so wood is loaded from the room next door.
Hand-crafted in Estonia, where sauna is a tradition. Wood-fired sauna stoves produce a mild and long-lasting heat, and are designed for ladling water over hot stones to create a satisfying steam sauna.
- Smoke gases are 6x cleaner
- Stove utilizes 25%-40% less fuel than comparable sauna stoves

The Cozy Heat SW Thru-Wall 18 is rated for 317–635 cubic feet.
Measure width × depth × height in feet. Add extra volume for anything that soaks up heat rather than reflecting it — glass, tile, concrete, stone and exposed log all make a room behave larger than its raw measurement. Size to the larger number.

- Mount to the clearances published above. They are minimums to combustible material, not recommendations.
- The firebox extension passes through the sauna wall, so wood is loaded from the next room and no smoke, ash or cold air enters the hot room. The wall opening has to be framed to the manual before the stove goes in.
- Confirm your flue diameter and that a top connection suits your build before ordering chimney components.
- A solid-fuel appliance normally needs a permit and an inspection in the US, and your insurer will usually want to see the sign-off.
- Load stones loosely by hand so air moves between them, and re-stack once a year, replacing any that have cracked.
How does the Thru-Wall version work?
The firebox extends through the sauna wall so you load wood from the adjoining room. No smoke, ash or cold air enters the hot room, and you are not stepping over bathers to feed the fire. The wall opening has to be framed to the installation manual before the stove is set.
How many boxes of stones do I need?
The stove holds 220 lb. That is 5 boxes of split-face Cozy Stone at 44 lb, or 7 boxes of rounded Cozy Round at 33 lb. Stones are not included, and Cozy Heat recommends ordering one spare box so you can pick the best-fitting stones.
Is a chimney included?
No. Cozy Heat supplies the stove with its own chimney pipe section, but not a full chimney system. Your supplier file lists Harvia chimney kits for this stove, and they are linked above. A solid-fuel installation normally needs a permit and an inspection.
