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.
Crisp geometry in the sauna. Fire-tending on the other side. The Quattro Thru-Wall keeps the square horizontal-bar cage in the sauna and moves the loading door through a compliant wall opening. It suits a clean-lined room where the firewood routine should stay out of sight.
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 the room, then detail the wall
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 | 17.3 × 26.2 × 27.6 in | 265 lb | 13.0 in |
| 18 kW | 318–636 cu ft | 20.3 × 30.7 × 28.7 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.
Put the fire door on the other side
The firebox extension passes through an opening in a concrete or brick wall so wood and ash stay in the adjoining room. Cozy’s manual (section 2.5, Models COZY TW) sets the opening and the wall:
- 12 kW: opening at least 10.0 in wide and 17.3 in tall, measured from the floor.
- 18 kW: opening at least 12.4 in wide and 18.5 in tall, measured from the floor.
- Wall thickness: 5.9 in maximum. The through-wall extension adds 5.9 in to the stove depth.
- Non-combustible zone: keep combustible material at least 23.7 in from the sides of the opening and 37.8 in above it, so the concrete or brick has to extend at least that far around the opening.
- Ventilation: with a through-wall model, Cozy wants the sauna’s exhaust vent near the floor on the wall opposite the intake, kept open while bathing.
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 Quattro Thru-Wall carries 265–353 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.
Before the stove arrives
