The nuance
What a pop-up sauna does not mean.
Pop-up refers to the tent, not the heat. The frame opens in seconds and the tent is up within five minutes, but a wood stove simply needs time after that. You cannot shorten those thirty minutes of firing, and you do not want to: firing too hard gives you a glowing stove and a tent that is still cold.
What you can do is make those thirty minutes useful. Most people set up the tent, light the stove and go and do something else in the meantime. Lay out the towels, fill a bucket, sort out the cool-down spot. When you come back it is a hundred degrees.
A second point: taking it down takes longer than putting it up. The tent is folded in ten minutes, but the stove has to cool down completely first and that takes three quarters of an hour. Plan for that if you have to be somewhere, because a hot stove goes nowhere.
Lay out before you start
- Dry, untreated wood, about an armful per session
- Firelighters or birch bark and a lighter
- A bucket of water and a ladle for the stones
- Two towels per person and something to drink
- A place to cool down: garden hose, shower or the water
