Saunas! Infrared vs. Traditional

[OCDP]

Steam is great, especially when your sick or have some bad chest congestion.

I miss Silverstar

He, he, more snow on the way at the Star, and it'll be that dry champagne stuff as opposed to the lead often encountered in the coastal ranges.

Thanks all for the input and experiences, particularly the heads up on the steam bath variation. I think I'll likely go with the traditional sauna though. I plan to install it in the basement of this old house and from what I gather the steam bath type might be a moisture issue in the long run. A hot shower should result in almost the same result as a steam bath anyhoo. Plus with the sauna, I don't need to find extra space for the steam generator, the heater is in the sauna itself and if I want a little steam, I can throw some water on the hot rocks.
