How does one safely heat rocks for a sweat lodge/sauna with propane?
Q. Since I was a child I have participated in sweat lodge/kiva ceremonies but I recently ran into some problems when I tried to build one on a friend's property. My friend was unconcerned but the neighbours flipped out at the first sign of smoke. Traditionally a fire is built to heat the rocks. hot rocks are then carried into the lodge where water+herbs is poured over them to create steam inside the lodge. Even tho' the location is as safe as possible (near a cave & waterfall a few feet from a stream) the neighbours don't understand so I must find an alternative means of heating. I could place a double burner (propane) on cinderblocks to heat the rocks but I am concerned about the amount of time and gas it would take to do this with a… [cont.]

A. Cruise yard sales for a used barBQ or hibachi, and make sure you're not using a type of rock that can explode if you get it too hot. What's with your neighbors, anyway? Are you making excessive smoke? Are you restricted by city ordinance or neighborhood association rules? Is there a forest fire danger emergency measure in effect? Are you doing this on private land that doesn't belong to you? Did you neglect to invite the neighbors into the sweat lodge with you? I just wonder if they are being busy bodies, and is it any of their business.
