HUUM Hive Heat LS 12: a small wood sauna stove with a cast iron door, fed from the next room
The HUUM Hive Heat LS 12 is a floor standing wood burning sauna stove made in Estonia for smaller rooms, rated at 12 kW for saunas from 212 to 459 cubic feet. Its firebox extension puts the door in the wall so you can load the fire from the room next door and keep the wood out of the sauna. Fresh air feeds the fire from above for a strong, clean flame that burns the wood completely, and the cast iron furnace door is treated only with natural oils. It is about 18 inches wide, 25 inches deep, and 30 inches tall, weighs 148 pounds, and holds 199 pounds of stones.
You get the stove and the manual. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the 6 boxes it needs on the page. A chimney is not included, so pick the through the ceiling, through the wall, or barrel sauna chimney kit on the page. A stone cage, a water heat exchanger, a protective bed, and a bucket and ladle set are optional. Prefer to stoke it from inside the sauna? The HUUM Hive Wood 13 stove heats the same room size without the extension. The HUUM Hive Heat LS 12 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is special about the firebox on this stove?
The firebox extension lets you load firewood from another room, per the description – so wood never needs to be stored in the sauna itself, and the fire is tended without opening the hot room door. That is the LS idea in one sentence.
Why is it considered clean-burning?
The description explains fresh air is conducted into the burning process from above, creating a strong flame that burns all the wood so no wood gas escapes up the chimney and goes to waste. It also complies with BimSchV II, the strict German wood-stove standard.
What size sauna does it fit?
Rooms from 212 to 459 cubic feet, per the features tab – the compact model among the HIVE Wood stoves. The description positions it as a highly efficient wood-fired heater for smaller saunas, so measure your room volume before choosing it over the larger 17kW models.
How many stones does it take?
Six 33-pound boxes of HUUM Stones 24 stones fill its nearly 200-pound capacity, per the features tab. They are sold separately, and the Required Stones add-on on this page lists exactly those boxes so stove and stones arrive as one delivery.
What is the furnace door made of?
Cast iron, per the description – incredibly durable and easy to maintain, treated only with natural oils without chemicals. That sets it apart from the stainless furnace doors on the other stoves in the line.
Does it need a chimney kit?
It is a wood-fired stove, so yes – and HUUM’s thru-ceiling, thru-wall, and barrel sauna chimney kits are listed in the Operating Accessories add-on on this page, together with the WaterEx heat exchanger and stone cage options for the series.
What warranty backs it?
A limited 5-year warranty, per the features tab. The stove is stainless steel construction apart from that cast iron door, designed, engineered, and made in Estonia, and built to the efficiency standards the description details – a long-service piece of equipment.
