Before you order
This page gathers what Sweat Kingdom publishes about the Sweat Barrel, checked Oct 10, 2026, and adds up what it costs to install.
Who should buy the Sweat Barrel?
The Sweat Barrel suits a buyer who wants to pick the length, with room for two, four or six on the same 6 kW heater. Sweat Kingdom builds it in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and says it reaches up to 230°F (110°C) in 45 to 90 minutes depending on the weather.
If you'd like a room with a picture window, the Sweat Cabin from the same shop costs about $2,300 more at list. Almost Heaven's Salem costs less for two.
What does it take to install?
Each barrel is 6 feet across and 6 feet tall, in lengths of 4, 6 and 7 feet. The 6 kW Harvia KIP needs a hardwired 240V, 30-amp circuit on 10-gauge wire. Sweat Kingdom says two or three people can put it together, and it ships in about five weeks.

What to know before you buy
Western red cedar, electric, 240V hardwired. These decide whether it suits your space and your electrical panel.
- Western Red CedarWestern Red Cedar is the high-end sauna wood, and it resists rot and insects naturally. It's aromatic and conducts heat poorly, so benches stay cool enough to sit on at 194°F (90°C).
- ElectricAn electric heater holds a steady temperature on its thermostat and needs no chimney. Many models add app or timer control.
- 240V HardwiredA hardwired model needs a dedicated 240V circuit installed by an electrician. Build roughly $600–$2,500 into your total budget for it.
