Exterior has every last pin prick hole and seam sealed with metal foil tape, the plywood will be sealed over with metal flashing

Not sure what i'm going to do for a door, it needs a vent and CO2 sensor because if the door seals good enough it will be a death trap otherwise

4 inches hard foam insulation, enitre interior is ceder. The floor comes up and can be removed for cleaning. Probably going to use a tent stove for the heat source.

I have an old concrete foundation in my backyard, was thinking of building one of these myself, except from scratch. Would a camping stove really work? Seems sketchy to me, I know the sauna stoves are expensive but it's probably worth it.

Did you do a smoke test to look for leaks?

Its 6x3.5 feet and extremly well insulated, a similar stove can get my cabin to 100 degrees when it is zerooutside and the cabin has 10x the volume.

Not yet, need to do the door. Can't imagine it isn't, the exterior is air tight metal.

I would recommend buying a heat sensor and doing an air temperature test to find leaks. cheap, fast, no risk.

Leaks aren't an issue, it is a literal air tight metal box with every seam taped shut. The issue is that it is so airtight that it i might be a suffocation hazard.
