Hukka Sulo: a festive soapstone sauna elf in a holiday hat
The Hukka Sulo is a small sauna elf carved from Finnish soapstone. Its holiday hat makes it the festive one in the family and a favorite sauna gift. It has a cheerful smile, stands just under 3 inches tall, and weighs less than half a pound. Hukka carves it in Tuupovaara, Finland. Soapstone is used to build many sauna stoves, so it can handle the hottest part of the room.
In Finnish folklore the sauna elf is the spirit who guards the sauna and looks after the bathers. Set Sulo on top of the stones of your heater, electric or wood burning, and it keeps its smile no matter how hot the room gets. It also works as a small massage stone. Let it warm on the stones, lift it off, and wait until it is comfortably warm to the touch. Then move the hat or the smooth head slowly over your shoulders and neck. It needs almost no care. A rinse with plain water when you clean the stones is enough. It comes as one solid piece with nothing to assemble. Want the one with a handle hat? See the Hukka Elli sauna elf. The Hukka Sulo ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is a sauna elf?
In Finnish tradition the saunatonttu, or sauna elf, is the spirit who lives in the sauna, guards it and looks after the bathers. Hukka carves that character in Carelian soapstone so it can sit among the heater’s stones and, as the page puts it, keep smiling no matter how high the temperature goes. Sulo wears a holiday hat, which makes him the festive one of the family and a favorite sauna gift.
Where do I put the Sulo elf in the sauna?
Between the stones of your sauna heater, sitting on top rather than buried, so his face shows. Carelian soapstone is renowned for heat capacity and for withstanding harsh conditions, which is exactly why it is used as sauna stone. Place him clear of the heating elements and any air gaps the heater manual says to keep open, and he will ride out every session at 1.77 by 2.83 inches.
Can I actually use it as a massager?
Yes. The page suggests using the holiday-shaped hat as a pressure point reliever and the smooth domed head as a gentle massager to ease tension in the muscles. Warm soapstone holds heat well, so lift Sulo off the stones with care once he has warmed, let him cool to a comfortable temperature and work him slowly over shoulders and neck. Check the heat on your forearm first.
How big and heavy is the Sulo elf?
Small enough to disappear among the stones: 1.77 inches (45 mm) wide and 2.83 inches (72 mm) tall, weighing 0.44 pounds (0.2 kg). That is one small soapstone figure, so it does not change the heater’s stone load or the way the stones are stacked. It ships boxed as a single piece with free shipping and an estimated arrival of 7 to 10 business days.
Where are Hukka sauna elves made?
In Tuupovaara, Finland, from 100 percent authentic Finnish Carelian soapstone, according to the Features tab. Each elf is a solid piece of natural stone rather than a cast or coated product, which is why it can live in the hottest part of the sauna. Sulo is one of six characters; collect the others in our Hukka range.
Does the elf need any care?
Very little. Soapstone is a natural material that lasts, so an occasional rinse or wipe with plain water is all it needs when the stones get their own cleaning. Avoid dropping it on a hard floor, as with any stone, and let it cool before handling. Placed on a wood-burning or electric heater alike, it simply sits among the stones year after year with its holiday hat on.

What Our Customers Say
D
A sauna turns your garden into a spa oasis. We debated it for a while, but after renovating our house, we pulled the trigger and bought a sauna from Norse Steam and Maya. She was always super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Don't kid yourself, getting a really nice sauna is not that easy. Sizing and heating need to be figured out, as does the building, but we have always had a helpful partner on our side. She never upsold us on anything we didn't need, and we got some nice freebies when the sauna was delivered. And now we can really enjoy every moment in our garden.
KF
I'm really happy with my sauna purchase. Maya gave above and beyond excellent customer service. She wasn't pushy and gave impressive followup after the delivery to make sure everything was just right.
DE
I enjoy my FD2 Sauna with Red Light, Infrared and radiant heat. Use it 5x a week and my post workout soreness is minimal and sleep great. Maya at Norse Steam was excellent to work with.
B
We purchased the 3-person sauna for our outdoor garden. We chose the cube sauna for the aesthetic and could not be happier.
I assembled by myself except for the 2 large panels (requires a few people). Instructions were good - took me two partial Saturdays to complete and a few hours to unpack and organize in advance of assembly. Had my elec. add a NEMA enclosure on the back for the controller and power for lights and a 2nd panel for the wireless control.
Customer service was excellent

Awesome Sauna and Awesome Company and Experience purchasing it from Maya!
After much research I chose the Finnmark FD-2 and it has met and exceeded all my expectations! Easy to assemble and it functions great - just as advertised. I highly recommend it for home use!
EA
Recently purchased the Finnmark one person after much research. Extremely happy with it and the ordering process. Maya was very responsive and helpful during the process and keeping us updated while we waited for shipment. There were several places I could have ordered this, but i chose Norse Steam based on the communication and customer service which was fantastic. The shipment was also excellent. The setup was pretty seamless for two people - but the best part is the sauna experience 10/10

Maya is amazing - super helpful and responsive. Looked at many stores, these guys have the best prices and service. Highly recommend
GR
Norse Steam, and specifically Maya, were extremely helpful as I was making the decision for our Sauna. I was able to get all of the necessary details to make a decision as construction was happening in my backyard to make space for it.
We absolutely love the CL7G. It is extremely comfortable for 6 people (can fit more less comfortably). The Thermory Spruce and Aspen in the interior smells great. The lighting is lovely. We paired the CL7G with the Harvia Spirit 10.5kw.

Had great experience shopping at Norse Steam for the new heater. They had very good deal, with rocks. Customer service was good, and responded very fast with my questions. Received the heater, and it looks good, and the quality seem to be great. Will install soon, and am very excited to start experiencing sauna the way it ment to be

Smoking Hot Tub!
I got the Norse Steam SaunaLife wood-fired hot tub, the S4N model, and its been seriously great. It heats up quicker than I expected, usually around an hour and a half, and once its hot, it stays that way for a good long while. The wood-fired system is simple to use, and honestly kind of fun.
The tub itself feels solid and well put together. The thermo-spruce exterior looks beautiful in person, and the fiberglass interior is smooth, deep, and easy to clean. Its the kind of setup that just works without a bunch of fuss, which I really appreciate.
Also, the team at Norse Steam was genuinely great to work with. Super helpful, quick to respond, and made the process really easy from start to finish. It felt like they actually cared that I was happy with it. The tub has totally become a go-to way to unwind, and I wouldnt change a thing.

Great Sauna & Purchase Experience
Great experience purchasing Finnmark FD-2 from Norse Steam. Good communication and easy to assemble. Temperature increases quickly (30 minutes or less to 140) and maintains well. So far this has been a great purchase.
M
Great sauna and great customer service
We purchased the Finnmark SD-1 sauna. Maya was extremely helpful with the purchase. We had an issue with the sauna not reaching the maximum temperature, and Maya connected us with the appropriate technician that explained how to correct the issue. The sauna now heats to the maximum temperature (170 degrees) in less than an hour, and it is a great unit. We are very happy with it, and we would definitely purchase from NorseSteam if we needed any other items.

I recently purchased a sauna from Norse Steam, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their customer service was exceptional, and Maya deserves special recognition for her outstanding support!
Maya was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all my questions about the sauna features, installation process, and maintenance. She went above and beyond to ensure I selected the perfect model for my home. Even after the purchase, Maya followed up to make sure everything was running smoothly and that I was satisfied with my sauna.
The sauna itself is top-notch beautifully designed, durable, and easy to use. It's clear that Norse Steam takes pride in the quality of their products and their commitment to customer satisfaction.
If you're considering a sauna, I wholeheartedly recommend Norse Steam. With their excellent customer service and high-quality products, you're in great hands. Thank you, Maya, and the entire Norse Steam team for a fantastic experience!
