What is a HUUM Hive Wood stove?

These round stainless steel stoves are made in Estonia with a large stone load. The Hive Wood 13 combines the stainless steel construction of the body and door, treated with natural oils, with a firebox shaped for a clean, complete burn. The HUUM brand page includes electric heaters and HUUM wood-burning sauna stoves. See the page with every HUUM wood stove. For other brands, browse our sauna heaters or wood burning stoves.

Sizes and loading from the next room

The HUUM Hive Wood 13 is 13 kW, about 18 inches wide and covers 212 to 459 cubic feet, with a stone capacity of 199 pounds. The Hive Wood 17 is 17 kW, about 22 inches wide and covers 283 to 565 cubic feet with 287 pounds of stones. A thick stainless steel flame tamer inside the firebox of the 17 spreads the fire so the wood burns cleanly. The Hive Wood LS 17 adds loading from the next room, while the smaller Hive Heat LS 12 has a cast iron door and covers 212 to 459 cubic feet. For the round shape using power, see the electric Hive collection.

Chimney, stones and add-ons

The box contains the stove and manual. Choose a through the ceiling, through the wall or barrel sauna chimney kit on the page, plus six boxes of stones for the 13 or Heat LS 12, or nine for either 17. Optional add-ons include a stone cage, water heat exchanger, protective bed and bucket and ladle set. Compare the Hive Flow collection if you want a furnace built to direct about 75 percent of the wood's heat into the room.
