Heat & Performance

“As a Finn who loves sauna, this gas stove is it. We wouldn’t go back to electric.” - happy customer

Deep, Wood-Fired Style Heat

Torch gas sauna heaters produce a soft, deep heat more comparable to a traditional wood-fired sauna than electric. It warms you through without the sharp, dry intensity — creating a more comfortable, natural sauna experience.

Rich, Consistent Steam (Löyly)

Designed to heat rocks thoroughly, Torch heaters produce thick, rich steam that fills the room with gentle moisture. The steam is soft and satisfying — not overly humid — and remains consistent round after round.

Fast, Reliable Heat-Up

Heat-up time varies depending on sauna size and outdoor conditions, but Torch heaters are built to bring your sauna up to temperature efficiently and reliably without long wait times.

Strong Recovery Between Steam

After each round of steam, the heater quickly brings the room back to temperature. The rocks reheat fast, allowing you to throw steam again as soon as they dry — often before you're even ready for the next round.

Built for Continuous Use

Whether it’s a few people or a full rotation in and out of the sauna, Torch heaters are designed to keep up. They maintain heat and steam through extended sessions — even with repeated use throughout the day.

Engineered for Performance

With a state-of-the-art baffle system and custom burner, Torch heaters efficiently heat both the room and the stones, delivering consistent performance and long-lasting reliability.

The result is a sauna experience that combines the deep, comfortable heat of wood with the convenience and consistency of gas.

Natural Gas Sauna Heaters Cost Significantly Less to Operate Than Electric

Shop Now

Natural gas sauna heaters cost substantially less to operate than electric models. With just one hour of daily use, an 8kW electric heater can add up to thousands of dollars more in operating expenses over five to ten years. A comparable 60,000 BTU natural gas heater delivers the same powerful heat and consistent performance at a fraction of the cost. Propane also provides measurable savings over electric, while maintaining the flexibility needed for mobile and off-grid installations. Energy rates vary by location, but the long-term financial advantage of gas is clear. The chart above outlines the projected costs and cumulative savings in detail.

  • Do Torch Heaters require electricity?

    Our Torch Gas Heaters do not use any electricity, except if you upgrade your control box to the remote start option. The remote start option does require electricity.

  • Can gas heaters be used in winter?

    Yes! Torch heaters can heat your sauna all winter long. Just make sure your steam room is insulated properly to keep the heat in.

  • How much propane do the Torch stoves use?

    The TS-60F burns 3 lbs or .71 gal per hour when the main burner is firing.

    The TS-80F burns 4.2 lbs or 1 gal per hour when the main burner is firing.

    Actual usage is usually less depending on the load and how often the heater cycles off.


  • What size propane tank should I use with the Torch sauna stove?

    We recommend using a 100lb tank for the best results. If that isn’t possible in your application you can tee 2 - 40lb tanks together to supply the stove. Using too small of a tank will cause the tank pressure to drop too low.

  • What type of exhaust piping do I need?

    Sauna heaters require Class A all fuel chimney pipe. Double wall black pipe can be used from the stove to the ceiling and then insulated chimney pipe must be used from the ceiling up. This pipe is commonly used for woodstoves.

  • Can I vent the exhaust out through the wall?

    The TS-60F and TS-80F require a vertical termination above the roof to achieve a reliable draft.

  • Can the TS-60F or TS-80F be used in a mobile sauna?

    Yes, They are both designed for mobile use and can be securely mounted to the floor.

Safety is our top priority

 Torch gas sauna heaters are equipped with several different safety features:

  • All Torch gas sauna heater models are equipped with a pilot and CSA approved gas valve to safely operate the stove’s burner. https://www.csagroup.org/ (CSA is similar to UL listing and is recognized in both the United States and Canada). 
  • All Torch gas sauna heaters are equipped with a 16 gauge heat shield to allow them to be placed closer to the wall. 
  • Built into the pilot is a thermopile that senses if the pilot is blown out. In this case, the valve will shut off all gas flow until the pilot is relit. 
  • The Torch gas heaters are equipped with a back draft sensor- the stove will shut down if the chimney gas starts to backdraft from strong winds or any other reason. 
  • With an over temp sensor built in, the gas sauna heater will temporarily pause heating if for any reason the outside of the heater is getting too hot. 
  • All Torch gas sauna heaters are also sold with a thermostat and timer control regulating room temperature and automatically shutting off after an hour of run time.
  • Always read installation manual and owners manual before using.
