Does anyone have a home sauna?

I assume anyone from the Nordic countries would... from what I understand, that's the lifestyle.

I'm in the states and have thought about building a sauna and shower outside. Can't decide what to use for heat. I love the idea of a wood fire but cheap firewood isn't easy to come by here. Natural gas would be cheaper than electric in my area and I have a feeling it would heat faster.

So what kind of sauna do you have at home? Kit, build it yourself, gas heat, wood fire? I'd even be interested in how people feel about their infrared saunas although I'm not interested in doing that.

I would love a Sauna !!
I have an outdoor shower. I heat the water with a standard 20lb propane tank.[image deleted]

@Teslin Nice! I love outdoor showers and to combine it with a sauna would be perfect.

@SandyBottom Yes, the sauna is on the bucket list. I have 10 acres, 8 which are wooded. So wood for fuel would not be an issue. But I am also getting older. May look into propane, now that you mention that.

@Teslin I've got a quarter acre suburban lot. Had a lot of trees but lost most of them in a derecho we had a few years back. I've been burning them on the patio but when it's gone, it's gone.

With your ten wooded acres, you've plenty of fuel and privacy.
