Flat draining. Will make you sick. But then again 90 is just barely what we call warm basically. Was 100 last week in Laredo south of us... fug this heat BS. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Stove is 1/4" iron plate with rock cradles on the sides (to protect from reflective heat as well as to allow steam rocks) Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Our sauna is at camp so we always start with cold water or snow. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
