Are you using hardwood? I find it maintains temperature better.
Just add more water, you'll do great.
I do, but steam drops the temp
Sure, but the added humidity is the sauna. Otherwise it's just a hot room. And the humidity makes it difficult for your body to cool you down with sweat. Have fun in there, I love sauna's.
Haha, that is fantastic. You put so much into this, I love it. I did not find anything I disagreed with, you nailed it.
