The Kolo bucket and ladle collection includes curved and straight handle buckets, matching sets, dials and bamboo bath brushes. Choose a bucket alone if you already have a sauna ladle, or a set if you need both pieces. The handle shape changes how you carry and place the bucket, while the dials show the heat and moisture around you.


Who makes Kolo sauna buckets?

Kolo pieces are designed in Finland using aluminum and bamboo. The buckets come in black or white for your traditional Finnish sauna. If you are choosing a room too, browse every sauna in the store.

Choosing buckets and ladles

The 1 gallon aluminum sauna bucket holds enough for a session for two or three people. Dip the ladle and pour small scoops over the hot stones for a burst of steam and softer heat. Keep the bucket on the floor or a low bench away from your sauna heater.

The curved handle is comfortable to carry full, while the straight handle stands upright to keep your knuckles clear of the water. The maker calls the curved pieces Bucket 2 and Set 2, and the straight pieces Bucket 3 and Set 3. The bamboo handle stays comfortable in a hot room. Choose the bucket alone with a ladle as an add-on on the page, or a sauna bucket and ladle set with both pieces in the same color.

Dials and bath brushes

The mechanical thermometer has a Scandinavian face and reads 70 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit with no battery or wiring. Hang it on one screw near your bench, away from the heater. The matching hygrometer reads 0 to 100 percent humidity, so you can repeat the heat and steam you like.

Bambu fits your palm, while Bambu 2 has a long handle for your back and shoulders. Rinse the bristles after use and hang to dry outside the hottest part of the sauna. Browse our sauna accessories, or see the Hukka sauna elves, Finnish soapstone figures that sit on heater stones.

Your questions about Kolo

What do I do with the bucket in the sauna?

Fill the bucket and place it away from the heater on the floor or a low bench. Pour one ladle scoop at a time over hot stones for steam. Small scoops give softer heat than a big splash. Empty it afterward and wipe it dry.

How much water does a Kolo sauna bucket hold?

It holds 1 gallon, enough for a full session for two or three people. The aluminum does not leak or rust and needs no soaking like a wooden bucket. The ladle is about 16 inches long to keep your hand back from steam.

What is the difference between the Kolo buckets and sets?

The curved handle is comfortable to carry full. The straight handle stands upright, keeping your knuckles clear of the water and sitting neatly beside a bench. Choose black or white, with the ladle as an add-on on the page for the bucket alone or included in the matching set.

What other sauna accessories does Kolo make?

The mechanical thermometer reads 70 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit and hangs on one screw near the bench. A hygrometer tracks humidity from 0 to 100 percent to help you repeat your heat and steam. Bamboo brushes fit your palm or reach your back. They make gifts alongside a Kolo sauna bucket.
