A smoke sauna has no flue. The fire burns for five hours with the door closed, the smoke is let out, and the stones hold the heat for the evening. The walls are black with soot; wear the dark towels we hand out.

Two-hour evenings only, for ten people, aged 18 and over. Booked separately from ordinary sessions.
