A gas sauna heaters needs to fit the size of the sauna. The rule of thumb is 1,000 BTUs for every 15 cubic feet of sauna. An 8 x8 x7 ft sauna =448 cubic ft. You need at least 30,000 BTUs for this size if it is well insulated.Add a couple 1,000 BTUs for an outside sauna if you are in a cold climate.Gas heaters are most practical for larger saunas that are used often. The smaller ones start at about 4,000 BTUs.

Check on delivery time before ordering.Most gas sauna heaters can use Propane and natural gas. Check before buying.The framework should be made of stainless steel.Check to see if controls and timers are included or need to be purchased separately.
Pricing
Gas heaters are usually used in larger or commercial saunas. The prices reflect this fact.40,000 BTU units start at about $1,500 and larger 80,000 BTU units can go over $2700. Some models are heavy so be sure to check on shipping charges.
