- Recent Q & A
- Q. What makes a Nippa® wood heater better than others on the market?
A. Leo Nippa® (formerly Leo Niippa) began making Nippa® sauna heaters over 75 years ago in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, using a technique which promoted strength and lasting quality that even in today's high tech world remains unmatched. By rolling the firebox (to prevent the ever-so-common warping found in cheaper made heaters), fewer welds were needed during manufacture which created the strength of his stove. He also use a baffle system so you didn't lose your precious heat up your chimney. Although newer innovations have been incorporated in the heaters throughout the years, the uncompromised original techniques are still used today.
Yes, it does take a little longer to make a Nippa® stove, but then... a Nippa® stove lasts longer. As with all good things in life, everything balances out in the end.
- Q. Where can I find rocks for my stove?
A. We offer rocks for sale with all our gas and wood heaters, and we include them at no additional cost with our electric heaters. Yes, rocks are expensive to ship, but there are alternatives. You can find rocks at home centers, landscaping centers and at most construction/building centers. Make sure you ask for "hard" non-porous rocks if you are going for a decorative look. Do not use lime or slate. Volcanic rock is readily available.
- Q. Why do I have to use rocks in my stove?
A. Rocks are needed to store heat and to create steam when water is poured over them. Place your rocks all around the heater elements making sure to cover completely. If done correctly the stones will filter the heat from the heater elements for a softer more comfortable bathing experience and provide better steam. If you just place rocks on top of a grill or basket they will not get hot enough to produce a good steam and you will notice a much harsher heat.
- Q. How high should my sauna ceiling be?
A. Seven Feet - maximum. To heat your sauna quickly and allow the sauna to retain the heat, the ceiling height should be no higher than seven feet. Remember... heat rises. You want the heat you create with your stove to stay near the floor, where you are sitting comfortably on your bench.
