The HIVE Wood 17 LS burns wood logs only and needs no electrical supply. Its firebox passes through a wall into the next room. Run these five checks before you order.
The floor protection must be 23.63 in (600 mm) wider than the firebox door and at least 15.75 in (400 mm) deep. Every other figure is on the Specifications tab.

Room length, width and height. Wall material where the firebox will pass. Floor material on both sides of that wall. Where the chimney leaves the room: roof or side wall.
The HUUM HIVE Wood 17 LS package puts a 17 kW wood-burning sauna stove in one order with a HUUM chimney set and 9 boxes of stones. The firebox reaches through the wall, so you load wood from the next room. It heats sauna rooms from 283 to 565 cu ft (8 to 16 m³).
Ash, logs and the door stay outside the hot room. The stone cage holds 287 lb (130 kg) and stays in the sauna. Pick the chimney by where it leaves the room: Thru-Roof or Thru-Wall.

Check before ordering
The firebox wall must be non-combustible, and only a specialist may connect the stove to the chimney. The chimney must run on its own flue, never shared with another stove or furnace.
The Before You Order tab lists the wall, floor and chimney checks to share with your installer. Send us the room size and wall material, and we will confirm the setup fits.
Figures from the HUUM HIVE Wood US manual and HUUM's chimney set sheets on the Manuals tab. Your local fire code may set larger distances or a taller chimney.

HUUM rates the HIVE Wood 17 LS for sauna rooms of 283 to 565 cu ft (8 to 16 m³). Its nominal output is 17 kW. For a room of 212 to 283 cu ft, the HIVE Wood 13 is the closer fit, though it loads from inside the sauna.
LS marks the model with the firebox extension. The extension adds 6.1 in (155 mm) to the depth and passes through the sauna wall, so the firebox door opens into the next room. The stove body and stone cage stay inside the sauna.
A non-combustible wall, such as stone or concrete. HUUM also recommends mineral wool or similar insulation around the opening. Leave at least 0.4 in (10 mm) of air gap around the firebox, which is why 0.8 in (20 mm) is added to its height and width.
The stove must stand on a non-combustible surface strong enough for its weight and the stones. If the floor in front of the firebox door is combustible, add fire-resistant protection 23.63 in (600 mm) wider than the door and at least 15.75 in (400 mm) deep.
Pick by where the chimney leaves the sauna. Thru-Roof runs straight up through the ceiling and a roof pitched 0 to 20 degrees. Thru-Wall leaves the stove top, turns through the side wall with a cleaning-hatch elbow, then climbs the outside wall on an adjustable bracket.
HUUM's chimney sheets ask for at least 19.7 in (500 mm) between single-wall parts and combustible material. Double-wall parts need at least 2 in (50 mm). The stove itself keeps 47.3 in (1200 mm) of clear space above it.
Height is set by your local fire-safety rules, not by HUUM. If your inspector needs a taller run, add chimney extension pipes, which are not in this package. The chimney must use its own flue and never share one with another stove or furnace.
Wood logs only. HUUM finds logs 15.7 in (40 cm) long and 3.1 to 5.9 in (8 to 15 cm) across work best. Start each fire with some small, light pieces. Open the ash tray up to 0.4 in (10 mm) to light, then close it to 0.08 to 0.12 in.
The outer casing has heat-resistant paint that sets during the first firing and gives off an odor. HUUM recommends that first burn outdoors, with a short piece of flue on the outlet to help the draft. Handle the painted metal with care until then.
Empty the ash tray before each firing. Clean the heating surfaces at least every 20 uses, and have the chimney and flues cleaned at least once a year. Replace crumbled stones once a year, as temperature swings break them down.
Buying for yourself, spread the cost through Affirm at checkout. Buying for a gym, clinic, spa, or studio, apply with one of four business lenders and put the whole room on a single application.
RecovAthlete has no control over any financing decision. Approval is based on your creditworthiness and is solely the lender's decision.
Affirm at checkout. Rates run 0% to 36% APR based on your credit profile. Soft check to prequalify, so no impact on your score. No prepayment penalty.
Brickhouse Capital, Reliant Capital, Acorn Finance, or KWIPPED. Apply with two of the four and compare. Financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm with your accountant.
Every page below has real prices, real monthly payment examples, and the lender comparison for that category. Pick the one you are buying.
Most business buyers are not buying one machine. They are building a room. Sauna, cold plunge, red light, vibration, hyperbaric, cryotherapy, and halotherapy all finance on the same paper through the same four lenders, and RecovAthlete quotes every category on one purchase order.
That means one freight schedule, one install window, and one financing application instead of six. It also gets you a better rate, because a bigger number on one application beats six small ones with six hard inquiries.
See commercial recovery equipment financing, or call 866-861-6317 and we will price the room.
| Lender | Type | Amount | Speed | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affirm | Consumer, at checkout | Order total | Seconds | Personal purchases. 0% to 36% APR based on credit. Soft check to prequalify. |
| Brickhouse Capital | Direct equipment lender | Up to $250K on a one-page application, $1M+ with financials | ~24 hours | A full room or a full floor. Credit decisions made in-house. Tied to the business, not your personal credit report. |
| Reliant Capital | Lender and broker | Up to $500K application-only, $5M with financials | 2 to 4 hours | Medical, aesthetic, and wellness. Deferred payment options. New or used equipment. |
| Acorn Finance | Lending marketplace | $1,000 to $100,000 | 60 seconds to prequalify | Comparing offers. One application goes to 30 or more lenders with no impact to your score. |
| KWIPPED (APPROVE) | Lender marketplace | Minimum $1,500 equipment value | 60-second application | Larger commercial orders. Lenders compete, which usually returns the best APR. Businesses only. |
Apply with two of the four and compare. It costs nothing and the spread between offers is often significant.

Pay in 4 splits the purchase into four interest-free payments charged every two weeks. Monthly installments spread the cost over a longer term, with rates from 0% to 36% APR depending on your credit profile. You see the exact terms before you agree to anything. No origination fees, no prepayment penalty, no late fees.
Prequalification does not. Affirm and Acorn Finance both run a soft check to show you offers, which has no impact on your score. Proceeding with a monthly installment plan or a business loan may involve a hard inquiry. That is why it pays to prequalify with more than one lender first and only proceed with the best offer.
Yes, and for most business buyers it is the better route. Brickhouse funds up to $250,000 on a one-page application with no financial statements. Reliant approves in 2 to 4 hours. Business financing is usually tied to the business rather than your personal credit report, and financed equipment can qualify for a Section 179 deduction. Confirm the tax position with your accountant.
No. This is the most common and most expensive mistake. Separate applications mean separate hard inquiries, separate payments, and a worse rate on each, because every individual ticket is small. Get one quote from RecovAthlete covering everything you are buying, including freight, and put that single number on one application.
Financed equipment can qualify. Section 179 lets US businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service, and financing the purchase does not by itself disqualify it. The equipment must be in service, not merely ordered, within the tax year. Annual limits and eligibility rules are set by the IRS and change year to year, so consult your accountant.
Freight, yes. On Affirm it is part of the order total at checkout. On business financing, put freight on the RecovAthlete quote and the whole quote amount goes on the application. Installation and room construction are harder, because some equipment lenders will not fund non-equipment costs. Ask the lender before you sign.
Yes. Affirm charges no prepayment penalties. Acorn Finance and most business lenders also allow early payoff without penalty.
Tell us what you are buying and whether it is personal or for a business. We will point you at the right two lenders and quote freight and install as one number, which is also the number that goes on the application.
