SaunaLife Essentials Set 3 | Bucket, Ladle, Thermometer, Hygrometer

Four things every traditional sauna needs, bought once instead of four times. A 1 gallon spruce bucket with a plastic tub inside it so the wood never has to be watertight, a hand-carved birch ladle with a leather loop so it hangs up to dry, and a matched black thermometer and hygrometer for the wall. If you are finishing a room and do not want to spend an evening comparing buckets, this is the shortcut.

$198.00

US shipping: $32.95. This item ships free when you add it to a sauna or heater order, or when your order is $300 or more. Sauna and heater customers get free shipping on accessories for life; we’ll recognize your email at checkout.

The four-part starting kit

Ask what a new sauna owner actually needs on day one and the honest list is short: something to carry water, something to pour it, and a way to see what the room is doing. This set is exactly that, in one finish, from one maker.

The bucket

1 gallon, spruce, banded in wood with a plastic tub insert. The insert is the detail worth paying attention to: an all-wood bucket has to stay damp to stay tight, and a sauna that goes unused for a couple of weeks is how those start to weep. 10.25 inches in diameter, 6.75 inches tall, 2.7 pounds.

The ladle

Hand carved from birch, 12 inches long, with a spoon cup shaped for controlled pouring rather than a fast dump. It has a leather hanging loop, which is a small thing that solves the biggest cause of ruined ladles: being left to sit in the water.

The gauges

A round black thermometer and a matching hygrometer for the wall. The thermometer reads 70 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, the hygrometer 0 to 100 percent. Two dials rather than one combined unit, which lets you place them at the height that matters to you.

Why humidity is on the wall at all

Temperature alone does not describe a sauna. The same 180 degrees feels completely different at 10 percent humidity and at 30, and the second one is what most people are chasing when they say a sauna felt good. Watching both numbers for a few weeks teaches you your own room faster than any advice will.

What is in the box

  • Sauna bucket with plastic insert, 1 gallon
  • Birch ladle with leather loop
  • Black thermometer, 70 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Black hygrometer, 0 to 100 percent

Why we sell sets

Because the alternative is four decisions, four shipping charges, and a bucket that does not match the gauges. If you would rather choose each piece, we stock them separately too.

Call Ben² at (844) 565-1113 if you’d like to talk through the order.

Why we carry accessories

Accessories Are Great. A Sauna You Actually Use Is Better.

We stock accessories like this one so our sauna and heater customers can get everything for the room in one place. If you already have a sauna you love, welcome. If you are still planning one, or the one you have never quite gets hot enough, take a look at what we really do.

Free shipping for life on accessories

On its own, this ships for $32.95. Put it on the same order as a sauna or heater and it ships free. After that, accessories and materials like this ship free on every order you place with us, for life. Use the same email and we’ll recognize you at checkout.

The Rabbit Hole Ends Here

Did you always have opinions about cedar? No. No you did not. Most people shopping for a sauna end up with a dozen tabs open, three brands that all say they are the best, and a forum thread that argues both ways. We have built, installed and fixed saunas like the ones we sell, and we use our own at home. Tell us about your space and we will tell you which sauna and heater fit it, and which ones don’t.

  • A heater sized to your roomWe match the heater to the room’s volume, walls and glass, so it heats the way it should.
  • The whole project, thought throughSpace, electrical, freight and install get talked through before you order, not discovered after.
  • Still here afterThe same people answer when a question comes up mid-build, and long after delivery.

The best sauna deal is the one you don’t have to buy twice.
