I used a temperature meter from
an old tractor, it has some oxide but it still works well. It is good to
know if the sauna is ready and has the right temperature. Make a hole in
the top of the box for the wire with the sensor. But you can find out the
right temperature by just trying. It will need about 15-20 minutes for
the steam of the pressure cooker to heat up the sauna, then you turn the
fire down and enter into the sauna box. (How much to turn the fire down
you will find out by experience. Until you know it is good to have a helper
who can regulate the fire if necessary) Also it is good to have a
watch you can see when you are inside the sauna box. You should at least
stay 20 minutes. The last minutes seem to be very long... (Until now I
couldn't do it more than 25 minutes, but I believe that more than 30 minutes
is not necessary.)
