Narvi Kuru: a small wood burning sauna stove with a glass door, in two sizes
The Narvi Kuru is a floor standing wood burning sauna stove for a small or medium sauna. It comes in two sizes. The Kuru 14 puts out 13 kW and heats rooms from 283 to 494 cubic feet. The Kuru 20 puts out 16 kW and heats rooms from 353 to 706 cubic feet. A glass door lets you watch the fire. The body is steel painted black, with a wooden handle on the door. It stands about 26 inches tall. Narvi designs and builds it in Finland.
Pick the size on the page. Wood burning means no wiring: you build a fire in the firebox and the stones on top hold the heat. Ladle water on the stones for steam. It burns logs up to 13 inches long. It comes with the stove and the manual. Sauna stones are sold separately, so add the two boxes it needs on the page. A chimney is not included, so pick the flue parts and the adapter to 6 inch US pipe on the page. The flue can leave from the top or the back. If the stove sits near a wood wall, add Narvi’s protective wall shield or the floor base on the page. Prefer a round stove? See the Narvi Luosto wood burning stove. The Narvi Kuru ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What is the difference between the Kuru 14 and Kuru 20?
The Kilowatt selector picks the 13 kW Kuru 14 for 283 to 494 cubic feet with 77 pounds of stones, or the 16 kW Kuru 20 for 353 to 706 cubic feet with 88 pounds. Both are 18.7 inches deep and about 26 inches tall; the 20 is 18.1 inches wide against 16.5 for the 14.
Can I see the fire?
Yes, the description highlights the glazed door so you can watch the live fire during the session. The manual covers removing and re-hanging the door on its hinge pin and says the firebox door stays closed during heating; combustion air is regulated with the ash drawer, which must be emptied before every heating.
How far from the walls?
48.2 inches front to back for both sizes, 36.1 inches side to side for the 14 and 37.7 for the 20, under a 79.7 inch minimum ceiling. Narvi’s protective wall and installation base on the Safety selector let you shorten rear and side clearances as the manual describes, with an air gap behind the shield.
Which stones and how many?
77 or 88 pounds of 4 to 6 inch stones for the 14 and 20. Stones are not included; add 44 pound boxes of split-face or rounded Narvi stone on the Required Stones selector. The manual wants them washed, larger stones low, flat stones upright and none piled above the top of the heater.
What warranty and listing does it have?
The Includes tab and the linked manual both give this model a 1-year warranty, shorter than the 2 years on Narvi’s other stoves here, and the safety listing shown is CE. Confirm local acceptance before ordering. It weighs 108 or 121 pounds and ships in the 7 to 10 business days noted on the page.
How do I hook it up to a chimney?
The flue exits top or back into a 120 mm European outlet; the Chimney selector supplies the 4.5 inch Euro to 6 inch USA pipe adapter, a black Narvi flue section, a 300 mm extension and a stone cage. The manual requires a CE-marked modular chimney and yearly sweeping. Browse other wood burning sauna stoves to compare outputs.
