This kind of stove is basically the same as in a traditional smoke sauna, but the smoke is lead out with a chimney. It was invented early 20th century, and it was the most popular stove type in Finland app. 1950's. Click here for more information of this stove type in www.sauna.fi.
"Auvo-1" is an improved variant of that stove type, with thick insulation. And it is made of brick like minor part of its' original ancestors - most popular way was to made it of steel plate.

"Auvo-1" sauna stove is a "heat storage" -type stove: When the stove is heated it does not warm sauna, because the heat is stored inside the stove due the affective insulation. After the stones are heated up to hot as orange as seen in the small photo in the site left corner, the fire will be let down and the smoke chimney damper (not seen in the drawings) will be closed. Then the stove will be left to stay for a while, app. ½ hours.
Before a bath, the smoke damper will be opened for a while and some water poured to the round steam shutter in the top of the stove, and the damper will be closed again. That manoeuvre will lead the ash remains from the stones to the smoke chimney - instead having them into the sauna air. After that the stove it is ready for a sauna bath.
In the beginning of the bath, the round steam shutter in the top of the stove in the opened, the heat will flow into the sauna room. If steam ("löyly") wanted, just pour slowly some water to the steam shutter opening. If more heat wanted, the fire place door will be opened.
This stove is built for quite large sauna, app 15 to 30 m3 volume.
