What customers say
The HUUM HIVE heater earns exceptional praise for its superior heat quality and convenience. Users consistently highlight the massive stone capacity, which produces a uniquely soft, enveloping heat and a highly valued löyly experience.

Know before you buy
This heater is optimized for sauna rooms ranging from 283 to 565 cubic feet. It is important to stay within this range to ensure the stove can effectively heat the space and maintain the desired temperature.
The firebox extension allows you to load wood from an adjacent room rather than inside the sauna itself. This keeps your sauna interior cleaner, prevents wood debris from accumulating on the floor, and allows you to tend the fire without disrupting the sauna environment.
The 287-pound stone capacity is a key feature that provides a more consistent, soft heat. A larger mass of stones retains heat longer and creates a superior steam experience when water is poured over them, compared to heaters with smaller stone capacities.
Maintenance is minimal, primarily involving the regular removal of ash from the easy-clean ashtray. Because it is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, it is built for longevity and requires very little upkeep beyond standard firebox and chimney cleaning.
No, the HUUM HIVE Wood 17.0kW is a purely wood-burning stove with mechanical controls. It does not require an electrical power source to operate, making it a great choice for off-grid or traditional sauna setups.
This heater is precision-crafted in Estonia and meets rigorous European safety standards. Its construction includes a 1/5-inch thick flame tamer to ensure durability and safe operation during high-heat sessions.
