FEATURES

High Heat Output – 11.5 kW
With a powerful 11.5 kW output, the CozyHeat Cozy12 O is designed for sauna rooms sized between 6 to 13 m³. Its advanced three-stage combustion system ensures efficient wood burning, cleaner flue gases, and a steady, comfortable heat throughout your sauna session.
Generous Stone Capacity – up to 120 kg

Glass Door with Steel Frame
The Cozy12 O is fitted with a durable glass door that lets you enjoy the natural glow of the fire, enhancing the sauna atmosphere. Its sturdy steel frame ensures long-lasting reliability and adds a modern touch of elegance.
Efficient Three-Stage Combustion System
Designed with advanced airflow channels, the Cozy12 O burns wood more efficiently while reducing emissions. This system ensures cleaner flue gases, better heat output, and up to 25–40% less wood consumption compared to similar stoves.
Flexible Install Options
Choose the setup that suits your space: the CozyHeat Cozy12 O is available in INTERNAL and EXTERNAL (through-wall) versions. It burns dry wood logs up to 30–33 cm with a typical max load of 8 kg. Compact clearances—only 17 cm to flammable materials at the sides—make placement easier, and the top flue outlet (Ø114 mm) connects cleanly to your chimney. Installation must follow the ventilation/clearance requirements and be completed by a qualified specialist.


Advanced Airflow & Clean Combustion
The Cozy12 O features a three-stage air circulation system that optimizes burning efficiency. By directing air into different parts of the fire chamber, it ensures cleaner flue gases, more even heat distribution, and up to 40% less wood consumption compared to similar heaters.

Instructions for Using Your Cozy Sauna Heater

Piling of the Sauna Stones
Properly arranging sauna stones in your wood-burning heater is essential for both safety and performance. Follow these guidelines:
Use only suitable sauna stone materials such as peridotite, olivine diabase, olivine, or vulcanite.
Stones should be 5–15 cm in diameter. Select medium-sized, dense stones for optimal heat retention.
Wash the stones thoroughly to remove any dust or loose particles before placing them in the heater.
Place stones gently and evenly into the heater’s stone compartment — never drop them, as this can damage the heater or the stones.
Stack stones loosely to allow proper airflow between them. Good circulation ensures efficient burning and even heating.
Position stones so they support each other without blocking airflow through the heater.
Do not pile stones too high above the stone compartment — this can restrict ventilation and reduce efficiency.
Never place foreign objects (such as decorative stones or metal items) in the heater, as they may alter airflow or create safety hazards.
Correct stone placement helps your firewood heater burn more efficiently, extend its lifespan, and deliver the authentic, gentle heat that a traditional sauna is known for.
Heater Maintenance
Sauna stones can disintegrate due to temperature fluctuations. Rearrange stones at least annually, or more often with frequent sauna use.
Remove any disintegrated stones from the heater’s bottom and replace them with new ones to maintain optimal heating and prevent overheating.
Heating Your Sauna with Cozy Sauna Heater
When using the heater for the first time, both the heater and stones may emit odors. Efficiently ventilate the sauna room to remove these odors. If the heater’s output matches the sauna room’s size, it will take about an hour for a properly insulated sauna to reach the desired bathing temperature. The sauna stones typically reach this temperature simultaneously with the sauna room.
