The PrairieFire™ 9 kW heater is rated for 462 cubic feet against a cabin of 201.5 — more than double the volume it actually has to heat — which is why the sauna comes up to temperature in 20 to 30 minutes and holds it without labouring. Maximum temperature is 194°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Wi-Fi control panel means you start it from your phone rather than walking out to the garden, waiting, and walking back. On a sauna with a half-hour warm-up, that is the difference between using it on a weeknight and only using it on weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabin is built from 30 mm tongue-and-groove cedar with an 8 mm tempered glass door, under a 29-gauge powder-coated galvanized steel roof. It sits on roto-molded HDPE cradles that lift the barrel clear of ground moisture, and every part of it is covered by a 5-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey
