Off-topic but I've been curious: how well do phones handle saunas? I thought the heat and moisture would pretty much be the worst environment for electronics. Is that not the case?

Not the one you asked, but I like to sauna in perfectly dry air more than in humidity. Also slightly lower temperature. As there is no humidity, the heat doesn't transfer as quickly. The phone doesn't get hotter than it does on a sunny day outside.

#44tldr: place air inlet above the heat (B); air outlet on the other side at the floor (D). See figure: https://www.saunatimes.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_6556-1-560... This ensures: 1) quick heat up of fresh air 2) vertically uniform heat 3) creation of better steam
I wonder if this holds true for a wood burning sauna too? An active fire in the stove creates a massive draft that'll pull air through the stove and out the chimney.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
what is some crazy sauna fact?
In Finland sometimes we take advantage of the heat and we cook sausages on our sauna stove by wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing them on the hot rocks. You can still take a sauna normally and afterwards you have a cooked sausage to eat!

#48Maybe it's hard keeping a co2 monitor operating in humid sauna conditions, I dunno.
Also, given that many saunas are not airtight, I wonder what a steady state CO2 concentration would be. It may be high, but not dangerous.
