Firefly Sauna Users Guide

Congratulations on your purchase, and thank you for supporting Firefly Sauna! Please read this entire manual to ensure proper care and use of your sauna tent.

Important Guidelines

Fire Safety

Never leave the tent unattended. Burn only clean firewood and ensure the chimney is properly connected and sealed. Use only proper sauna rocks in your rockhopper. Do not use plastic furniture or bring otherwise flammable items into the sauna tent or near your stove. DO NOT touch the stove at any point while there is an active fire / at least an hour after it has gone out.

Stove Care

Your stove is made of high-quality stainless steel. This material allows the stove to be durable and portable. However, it is not advised to get the stove considerably wet beyond pouring water on the rocks.

Stove Seasoning (First Time Use Instructions)

The first time you use your stove, assemble and fire it up OUTSIDE of the tent. The first heat will burn off any chemicals from the new metal and help warp the metal into a tighter final fit. Make sure it gets hot, then let the stove cool down completely before setting up inside the tent.

Placement & Setup Considerations

Ensure your Tent is set up on flat ground, at least 6 feet away from buildings or other flammable objects. If there are high winds, use sandbags or the included tent stakes to secure to the ground. Never light the stove if you are unsure about the stability of either the tent or the stove. Do not light the stove if the chimney is not properly installed.

Tent Setup

1

Unpack & Prepare

Carefully open the boxes and remove the duffel bag containing the tent.

2

Lay Flat & Unfold

Take the tent out, set it on a flat prepared surface, then unfold until it is laid flat.

3

Pop Out Secure Tent

Pop up the tent by pulling the side-wall pull straps. Then, pop up the ceiling from inside. Secure with stakes.

4

Place Stove

Unfold the legs and place the stove beneath the chimney hole. Fill the top with proper sauna stones.

5

Complete Chimney

Install remaining chimney pieces and guide through stainless steel roof panel.

6

Place Firewood & Light

Place kindling and small firewood to start your fire. Add pieces, keeping the door closed and draft open until fire is rolling. Enjoy!

7

Always keep an eye on the stove with an active fire. Stoke the fire with metal stoker from time to time. Do not touch the stove or sauna rocks at any time once fire is lit. Ensure fire is out before leaving the sauna unattended. Clean ash tray after each use.

FAQS

Can I use the stove without sauna rocks?

You could use the stove without rocks, but it will not get nearly as hot inside the tent. Saunas use rocks as thermal mass to amplify the warming effects of the fire. Be careful, the rocks get hot.

Can I leave the sauna tent up all season?

You can leave the tent up for extended periods of time, however, you will want to leave the door or windows open to ensure proper airflow so the tent does not contain too much moisture. The roof will handle rain and snow, but heavy snowfall should be cleaned off to avoid overloading the roof.

How do I clean my tent & stove?

Tent: Wash with gentle soap and warm water.
Stove: Wipe down with a wet cloth.

Only clean these products when not in use, never while a fire is burning or stove
is still hot.

What should I use for flooring?
You can set up without flooring anywhere you might set up a grill, but be sure nothing flammable, including dry grass is underneath. Pavement, on your deck, or the grass is all fine. Just keep in mind, that whatever’s below the stove could melt or set fire. If you want a nice wood build, try untreated 6×8′ fence panels.
