Steam & Oak is the first UK retail partner for FinSteam. The premium upgrade — Aurora heater + bigger bench, complete in one buy NOIR L Elite is the FinSteam package built around the newer Aurora 81 — the design-led 8.1 kW gas heater that's become FinSteam's flagship. Premium black tent, premium heater, a longer 1600 mm cedar bench, 40 kg of stones, and the UK gas kit. Delivered in one consignment, ready to use the day stock arrives. Pitched in under a minute, hot in 15, comfortable for 2 to 4 people. No electrician, no chimney, no consumer-unit upgrade, no fire to tend. Why a gas sauna at all (and why it beats wood-fired or electric) The UK portable-sauna market is split between two compromises. Wood-fired tents bring a chimney to fit through the roof, smoke and ash to clean up, a 30-45 minute warm-up, fire-tending mid-session, and the standing fire risk of a live flame in fabric. Cheap electric steam pods are dry, lightweight, frequently unrated for safety, and tied to a wall socket so they don't work where the mains can't reach. The FinSteam NOIR is the third path: gas-powered, no electricity, no chimney, no live fire — engineered as a sauna from the start. NOIR (gas) Wood-fired Electric Heat-up time ~15 minutes, turn a dial 30-45 minutes, tend a fire 30-60 minutes Power needed Propane bottle Firewood Mains — often a dedicated 32A circuit Electrician / wiring None None Usually required (£1-2k) Chimney None Required None Smoke, ash, soot None Yes, every session None Humidity Naturally humid (combustion vapour stays in the cabin) Dry until you ladle Dry until you ladle Off-grid Yes Yes No Control Dial The fire decides Thermostat / timer Safety EU-certified, auto oxygen shut-off Open flame Electrical A clever piece of engineering — the certified safety case Running gas safely inside a small, enclosed, oxygen-hungry space is genuinely hard — which is why most "gas saunas" you see online aren't certified for it. FinSteam solved it with patented burner technology delivering clean, stable combustion, wrapped in two layers of automatic safety. The Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) continuously monitors the oxygen level and automatically shuts off the gas if it drops to approximately 18% — well above any level dangerous to occupants. Flame monitoring cuts the gas instantly if the flame is lost. FinSteam's stated claim: the only CE-marked, electricity-free sauna gas heater on the European market. AENOR-tested under EU Gas Appliance Regulation 2016/426. Zero warranty returns on the heater across the last 12 months. What's in the L Elite package — every piece explained 1. FinSteam Fritid X premium black sauna tent The premium version of FinSteam's portable sauna tent system, in deep matt black with a two-entrance connectable design. The tent and the heater are designed and manufactured as a single safety-engineered system — vent openings sized to match the heater's airflow, fabric specified to handle combustion warmth, certified together under EU Regulation 2016/426. You don't add ventilation, modify the tent, or specify a base — FinSteam have done that work and it's on the EU certificate. Floor: 180 × 180 cm. Height: 180 cm at the sides, 207 cm at the centre. Internal volume: 8 m³ — sized for 2 to 4 people comfortably. Required pitching space: 240 × 240 × 220 cm. Setup time: under a minute. Integrated pop-up frame, no tools, no loose poles. Fabric: 3-layer engineered insulated construction. Outer Oxford 420D polyester with waterproof coating (2000 mm rating). Middle 150 g/m² polyester fibre fill. Inner Oxford 210D smooth heat-retaining liner. Vent openings sized and positioned for the FinSteam heater's airflow. Most sauna tents on the market do NOT meet FinSteam's ventilation and safety standards — the Fritid X is engineered around the heater from day one. Two entrances — one for sauna use, the second is built-in and sealed, and connectable to a second Fritid X if you scale to NOIR XXL later. 2. FinSteam Aurora 81 R14 gas sauna heater (th
