The Narvi NC 20 Black Wood-Burning Sauna Stove (16 kW) is a Finnish wood-burning sauna stove rated 16kW, for sauna rooms of 353-706 cu ft. It takes a minimum of 132 lbs of stones, which are not included.
This sauna stove is suitable for both modern and traditional saunas. The large amount of stones and durable construction ensures an even and pleasant sauna bath. The unique fire chamber of the sauna stove results in more efficient and cleaner combustion, making it environmentally friendly. The casing of the sauna stove is painted in black and made of corrosion-resistant steel for durability, paired with adjustable feet for effortless and proper installation. The chimney connection for this sauna stove can be implemented from the top or back, but a separate connection pipe will be needed for the top.
Narvi has built sauna stoves at Lake Narvi in Finland since 1937, and is one of the few large sauna heater makers with all of its production and development still in Finland.
- Simple and timeless
- Efficient and clean burns
- Adjustable feet for easy installation
- Corrosion-resistant steel plate painted in black
- Comfortable wooden handle

Sauna Stove, Installation and Operation Manual
Sauna stones are not included, and the stove must not be fired without them.
A wood stove is only part of the job. None of these come with it.
Sauna StonesA minimum of 132 lbs. Narvi does not supply stones through this range, so use split-face or rounded sauna stones from another maker — we stock several. Flue & Chimney
A flue system rated for a solid-fuel appliance, plus the roof or wall penetration hardware. Narvi makes a modular flue that fits these stoves. Clearances
The distances to combustible surfaces given in the installation manual, or a protective wall to reduce them. A Non-Combustible Base
A hearth or installation base under the stove. Narvi makes an adjustable one. Sauna Stones We Stock

Narvi tests these stoves to EN 15821 and CE marks them. It publishes no UL, ETL, ULC or CSA listing, and no dealer we checked claims one. Check what your inspector and insurer require before you install.
The minimum distances Narvi publishes to unprotected combustible surfaces. Measure these before you frame the benches — they decide where the stove can physically go.
Side5.9" (15 cm) Rear
5.9" (15 cm) Front
19.7" (50 cm) Ceiling
48.2" (122.5 cm) Protective Wall
Fitting a Narvi protective wall shield halves the side and rear clearances. Floor
A concrete slab of at least 50 mm, or the Narvi installation base. The base is required on any combustible floor and over underfloor heating. Narvi also calls for a metal sheet extending at least 100 mm past each side of the door and 400 mm in front of it.
Measure the room, then pick the output that covers it. The bigger stove is not the safer bet — an oversized stove overshoots and wastes wood.

- Fit the flue and the clearances above before you light it. The flue socket is 119 mm and exits top or rear, so a US-size adaptor is usually needed — Narvi makes one.
- Cut firewood to about 33 cm (13") and around 5 cm thick, and never fill the firebox past two thirds of its height.
- Load the stones loosely by hand so air moves between them. Never fire the stove with an empty stone space.
- Burn dry, split firewood only. Wet wood tars the flue and makes poor steam.
No. Narvi specifies a minimum of 132 lbs and supplies none in this range, so budget for stones as a separate line. The stove must never be fired with an empty stone space. Is it UL or ETL listed?
No. Narvi publishes a CE marking, which is the European conformity mark, and no North American listing. Some jurisdictions and insurers require a listed solid-fuel appliance, so confirm before you buy. Do I need a chimney, and what size?
Yes. The flue socket is 119 mm (4.7") and can exit from the top or the back, so most US installs need an adaptor to standard pipe. Narvi makes a modular T600-class flue system and the adaptor; neither is included with the stove. Allow at least 5.9" (15 cm) to the side walls and 48.2" (122.5 cm) to the ceiling.
