Steam & Oak Pod Sauna 2.4m

NEW: First UK sauna pod available with gas heat — Steam & Oak × FinSteam

Pick "+ FinSteam Aurora 81 R11S Gas Heater" at checkout and your pod ships with engineered ventilation built for gas + a bundled FinSteam Aurora 81 R11S gas heater package — ready to light on a UK propane bottle the day it lands. Steam & Oak is the only UK retailer offering this. No electrician, no fire to tend. Hot in 15 minutes, turn a dial. The Aurora 81 is the only CE-marked electricity-free sauna gas heater on the European market (FinSteam's stated claim).

Why gas changes the equation

What "gas-ready" means — engineered vents built into the cabin

The gas variant ships with wooden louvre vents at the FinSteam-specified sizes built into the pod: intake ≥350 cm² low next to the heater (fresh air from outside), exhaust ≥250 cm² high in the opposite corner (discharged to outside). FinSteam exclude plastic disc / twist valves — the gas variant doesn't have those. Vent + heater certified together under EU Reg 2016/426. Electric variants ship with the standard vent set for an electric heater.

What's in the gas variant package

• Pod shell + bench + frosted glass door — same build as the electric variants of this model.
• Engineered gas-ready ventilation built in.
• FinSteam Aurora 81 R11S gas heater — 8.1 kW, AENOR-tested under Reg 2016/426. ODS auto-shutoff + flame monitoring. Includes Orbis 11 stone cage + Halo safety rail + Njord heat shield as standard.
• UK propane regulator + 1.2 m CE-marked gas hose.
• 40 kg pre-washed FinSteam sauna stones.

Aurora R11S standalone retail £2,295 — gas variant bundles at £7,690 inc VAT. More on the Aurora 81.

What you'll need to source locally

• Standard UK 13 kg Calor propane bottle.
• Gas Safe registered engineer for the gas connection on a fixed install.
