Current English installation and operation manual – COZY 12 and COZY 18
Cozy Heat 12 and 18 installation and operation manual. Cozy Heat current manufacturer site.
A calmer silhouette around a hard-working firebox. The O wraps the Cozy firebox in a clean cylindrical mesh. It reads softer than a square cage and puts the natural texture of the stones at the center of the room.
Cozy builds structural-steel firebox walls about 67% thicker than a typical standard-stove wall, then joins them with clean, precise welds. It is made for years of real fires, not dressed up for a showroom.
Size it from the finished room
On a phone, swipe the table sideways to compare every column.
| Model | Adjusted sauna volume | W × D × H | Stone load | Maximum log |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 kW | 212–424 cu ft | 17.7 × 20.5 × 27.6 in | 243 lb | 13.0 in |
| 18 kW | 318–636 cu ft | 19.9 × 24.8 × 29.8 in | 353 lb | 15.7 in |
Use finished dimensions. Add about 4 cu ft per square foot of glass, tile, brick, concrete, or other uninsulated surface. Multiply a massive-log room by 1.5. Between sizes? Call before ordering.
Keep the whole ritual in one room
The firebox faces the sauna, keeping the flame in view and avoiding a wall penetration. Protect the floor and leave room for wood, service, and loading.
High efficiency without a fussy fire
Combustion air enters in three paths, including secondary air above the fuel. Cozy says the design uses about 25% less wood than comparable heaters; 40% occurred only in ideal tests. The manual reports 73.9% efficiency for the 12 family and 81.3% for the 18 family. The practical difference is just as important: load dry wood, light the kindling, regulate the air, and add a couple of pieces as needed. There is no specialist firing routine to learn.
The O carries 243–353 lb of exposed stone. That reserve stores heat and gives water a broad surface for steam, but it is a specification to plan around rather than the reason to choose the stove.
