Puuskaajat

Puuskaajat, also known as "puuska" or "puuskaaja" in Finnish, are traditional Finnish sauna stoves that have been used for centuries. They are typically made of cast iron and are designed to heat the sauna room efficiently. The puuskaajat are fueled by wood, which is placed into a hopper at the top of the stove. The wood is then pushed down into the combustion chamber, where it is ignited and burned. The heat generated by the burning wood is then transferred to the sauna room, heating the stones that are used to heat the sauna water.

Puuskaajat are known for their efficiency and ability to heat the sauna room quickly. They are also known for their durability and longevity, as they are typically made to last for many years with proper maintenance. Puuskaajat are an important part of Finnish sauna culture and are often used in traditional sauna rooms, known as "savusauna" or "suomusauna."

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in puuskaajat, as more people are seeking out traditional Finnish sauna culture. As a result, there are now many manufacturers producing puuskaajat, as well as many sauna enthusiasts who are building their own. Puuskaajat are also popular among those who are interested in sustainable living, as they are fueled by wood, which is a renewable resource.
