In Reply to: OT Finnish sauna? posted by Dave H (MI) on September 11, 2015 at 14:04:11:
Built a sauna myself several years ago after enjoying the one at college and have spent many relaxing nights in it. Figure a on lighting the fire a couple hours ahead to get everything up to temperature. Not sure what the tubing into the rocks is--it's not present in a typical sauna, but maybe he thought it would cool the rocks less if he preheated the water rather than splashing it on cold. Usually, you just pour water on a bit at a time until the steam gets to the level you want, and most people like some cool water in the sauna anyway, as it's very refreshing to splash on yourself if you get overheated. The link below goes into tremendous detail on sweat baths in general and saunas in particular--it's a full online book and a wonderful resource. I've linked a page on taking a "typical" sauna, though there's as many ways to enjoy one as there are people who enjoy them, as sweat baths have been a part of many cultures since prehistoric times, and many different traditions have evolved. My usual method is a sweat, then a warm shower (keeps the pores open and gets rid of dirt that's flushed out by the sweating), followed by another, shorter sweat and a cool shower to close the pores, but again, there's no "right" way--it's all in what you enjoy.
