A 1 gallon (4 L) bucket

Water for the stones of a stove sauna, per the listing. In an infrared cabin nothing wet goes near the heaters, so there it is decoration.

What it has going for it

What changes at the stove

Red cedar. Cedar copes well with heat and moisture and smells lovely as it warms. It also matches most sauna interiors.

Removable liner. The liner keeps water off the wood and lifts out for cleaning, per the listing.

Stove with stones, or infrared?

Stove with stones: 1 gallon (4 L) of water for the stones, per the listing, with a liner that keeps water off the wood. That is what a bucket set is for.

Infrared: nothing wet goes near infrared heaters. In an infrared cabin, a bucket is decoration, and that's fine too.

Great for you if…

  • You want a bucket set for traditional saunas with a stove and stones

Skip it if…

  • Your sauna is infrared only: buckets are for stoves with stones
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Volume, material and what's in the box

What the Northwood Sauna Bucket & Ladle Set listing names:

  • Red cedar
  • 1 gallon (4 L)
  • Removable liner
  • Handmade, per the listing

Hold these figures against your bench, door or cabin before you order.

Our take

The verdict

The Northwood Sauna Bucket & Ladle Set earns its place with red cedar build and a 1 gallon (4 L) bucket. No buyer reviews yet, so this Northwood Sauna bucket set has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Northwood Sauna: no word on the size. We'd pick it if you want a bucket set for traditional saunas with a stove and stones; otherwise, put it next to the Nature Hytte Red Cedar Bucket & Ladle first.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Northwood Sauna Bucket & Ladle Set: check your sauna type, because it holds 1 gallon (4 L), which is water for a stove with stones; infrared heaters must stay dry.

Before you buy

Your sauna type

If your sauna has a stove with stones, you are set. If it is infrared only, this is decoration, and that is fine too.

The wood

It is red cedar, per the listing. Let it dry between sessions so the wood doesn't crack or grey.

Worth it?

Our accessories guide sorts the accessories that make sessions nicer from the ones that just take up space.

Its listing states red cedar build, a 1 gallon (4 L) bucket and handmade. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: whether it fits your sauna is worth confirming first.

What should I check before ordering the Northwood Sauna Bucket & Ladle Set?

Your sauna type: if your sauna has a stove with stones, you are set. If it is infrared only, this is decoration, and that is fine too. The wood: it is red cedar, per the listing. Let it dry between sessions so the wood doesn't crack or grey. Worth it?: our accessories guide sorts the accessories that make sessions nicer from the ones that just take up space.
