I’m putting together a tent sauna, but my current settup won’t go above 125F.
It’s a Morzh tent, and I’m trying to reuse my US stove caribou 18 stove, but even though with the rocks the steam is nice, its heat is inadequate. It’s honestly inadequate for my 9x13ft canvas tent in the winter also, so I was wondering if any of you have ever used a larger hot tent stove in a sauna (like a winnerwell nomad stove). It looks like I might need to get two purposes built stoves, one for long steady burns in the tent, and another for fast intense burns in the sauna. Though obviously if I can avoid the added expense of a second stove it would be nice.
Else, maybe some tips for getting a hotter fire? I’m just burning fir I cut last spring.

I don't know shit, so take it all with a bucket of salt.
Heat in heat out. Too low temp means that either you are not supplying enough heat, or that too much heat is escaping. No idea what that tent you are using is or how insulated it is, or much about saunas in general, but afaik they are heavily insulated too keep heat inside.
Dunno much about wood, but I heard that best wood to burn is hard broadleaf seasoned for 3+years to make sure its bone dry.
In order to get hotter burn, consider trying charcoal once or twice, it may be enough to offset possible insulation problems and get your tent hot enough. It burns hot enough for smithing tho, so it should be fine. Maybe add a fan forcing air inside for even hotter burn or something, dunno.

Put a second larger tarp on top of the tent. Try to leave a little space between the two layers. Instant double walled insulation and it will hold heat a hell of a lot better.
