Smoke saunas (savusauna in Finnish) are the oldest format still in regular use. Fires burn for hours without a chimney, then the smoke clears and the heat that's left is softer and heavier than anything a modern stove puts out. Expect booked sessions, small groups, and a ritual that asks you to slow down rather than perform.
