Product Description
This product is for 90kg of ceramic stones suitable for the AK-57. The heater needs to be bought separately.
AK stands for Aito Kiuas, which is Finnish for ‘Genuine Stove’. The sauna heater bears this name, because these traditional heat storing sauna stoves are based on the original sauna heaters used throughout the last century in Finland. Naturally the design has come a long way, being perfected by decades of Finnish ingenuity. Unlike the other constantly burning heaters, these legendary heat storing stoves require only a single heating to provide excellent sauna until the following morning. The huge stone capacity delivers exactly the right kind of high oxygen heat for the truest löyly which is easily regulated, even by a sauna novice.
The heat storing heater works by combining the high specific heat capacity of the large volume of olivine or ceramic stones with an insulated casing. In line with our Endurance ethos, the heater is protected with enamelled rustproof steel, the stone compartment is lined with fireproof bricks and the firebox made from cast elements and fireproof mass. Furthermore, the inner lid, fire-grate and hatch are made from high quality cast iron.
The heaters require durable ceramic stones sauna stones due the high heats within the heaters.
