Wood Burning Sauna Stoves

The Nippa Legacy revolves around our legendary Wood Burning Sauna Stoves. When these stoves were originally developed by Leo Nippa in 1930 he incorporated what at the time was two innovative techniques. The first being a rolled firebox, preventing the ever so common warping of fireboxes still prevalent in other sauna stoves even to this day. The second being a baffle system that resulted in shorter heat up times and a cleaner burn. Though the stove has been upgraded over the years making each version stronger and innovative than the previous. These two key components are still used in how Nippa Wood Burning Sauna Stoves are made today.

Water Tanks

Bathing Made Easy + Löyly On Demand

Add hot water to your sauna setup with Nippa Water Tanks, available in Hang-On and Stand-Alone versions, and offered in Aluminum or Stainless Steel. The hang-on tank mounts directly to the stove for simple, classic hot-water convenience. The stand-alone tank is a true hot water add on but requires a NippaKoil (in-firebox hot water coil) or a water jacket to transfer heat from the firebox into the tank.

Key Benefits:

  • Bathing & Löyly made easy with hot water ready when you are
  • Two styles: hang on or stand alone
