Superior WRT8000: a wood burning fireplace with a 48 by 42 inch opening and a floor level fire
The Superior WRT8000 is the biggest wood burning fireplace Superior makes. The opening is 48 inches wide and 42 inches tall, giving you a view of a whole stack of burning logs, much like a great room hearth in an old lodge. The firebox floor sits flush with your hearth, so the fire burns right at floor level. Your builder frames a wall around it and finishes it in stone, tile, or brick. The inside is lined with Mosaic Masonry, real kiln fired firebrick laid in a split herringbone pattern. A large smoke dome above the fire draws the smoke up cleanly. The firebox is insulated all around.
It burns real logs and uses a 12 inch double wall chimney. The chimney pipe is sold separately, so ask us to quote the run. A heavy steel grate, forged andirons, and mesh screens come with it. On the page you pick the brick color, ivory, midnight, slate gray, or warm red. It is required. If the fireplace sits on a wood floor, add the hearth spacer to lift it clear of the floor. You can add a bi-fold glass door in ebony and an outside air kit. Need something smaller? See the Superior WRT6000 wood burning fireplace. The Superior WRT8000 ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How big is the WRT8000 opening?
48 in wide and 42 in tall, the largest in Superior’s wood range, paired with a flush-to-hearth floor design. Framing is 60-7/8 in wide, 31-5/8 in deep and 76-3/8 in high with the hearth spacers or 71-1/2 in without, per the Specifications tab. It uses the IHP 12DM or 12HT chimney system, 12HT required in Canada.
Why is the firebrick liner required?
The WRT8000 ships as a firebox and needs a Mosaic Masonry kiln-fired firebrick liner in the split herringbone pattern to complete the interior; choose Ivory, Midnight, Slate Grey or Warm Red on the Mosaic Firebrick Liner selector. The liner installation instructions are linked in the Manuals tab, and the base price covers the firebox.
What is the hearth spacer for?
The flush hearth design sits at floor level, so on a combustible floor the Features tab requires the hearth spacer kit from the Hearth Spacer selector, which raises the unit and adds the extra framing height listed in the Specifications tab. The bi-fold ceramic glass door in ebony on the Glass Door row is offered with that spacer.
What is included?
A heavy-duty steel grate with rugged forged andirons, mesh fire screens, an easy-access damper control, a fully insulated firebox and the massive smoke dome with no visible smoke shelf. Chimney, liner, hearth spacer and door are chosen or quoted separately. See more wood burning indoor fireplaces.
Can I use gas logs?
Yes. The Features tab lists optional gas log sets, and Superior’s vented logs brochure names the WRT8048 among the fireplaces approved for its 36 in Dual-Burner sets; the vent-free logs brochure is linked in the Manuals tab. Log sets are separate purchases sized to the 48 by 42 in opening.
Is outside air available?
Yes. The Outside Air selector lists the 4 in collar with hood and flex, collar and hood only, a floor-vent version and a bulk collar pack, and the Features tab notes dual left- and right-hand kits for maximum performance. A large open fireplace like this draws a lot of air, so plan the kit during rough framing per the installation manual.

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
MP
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.
RS
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.

Sauna Review
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!
