Off topic question please hams
 

Hi
I have a sauna with electric heater 7000watts. Nice area on top to put some
rocks and I see others have suggested lava rocks. What if I put granite or
limestone? That is what I have there now, they haven't cracked or exploded
after spraying water on them. They look nice, some red, some different
colors. Is there any harm in using granite or limestone apposed to using
lava rocks? I am sure they were all the same a few million years ago,,, any
reasons why I shouldn't use the granite or limestone rocks? Radiation?
Emmisions of sometype? inevidable that they will explode? nuclear meltdown
of some kind? I figure the temperature is around 200 or 300 degs.

Any thoughts please and thanks?

Hey, sorry it is off topic,

But received intelligent advice here before, thought I could hear some
thoughts.

To answer a bit of my own question, I found that certain granite rocks
handle well up to 800 degs. I thought regular iron turned red about 700
degs. The rocks I have are simply right from the river side and not been
treated or anything. Just curious as to other concerns or issues that may
come to mind. Maybe I will tell you in about a year what the experience is.
Maybe too simple a question.

Do some searching and reading before asking:

Now, go away.

Ok, Ok,, I will go

Wow, not a very friendly group.

But I did manage to learn a lot about the rocks this evening, I got a lot of
opinions from googling, mostly of dealers with their opinion. Some had bags
of granite rocks for 80 dollars, plus shipping, plus taxes.

I will still watch the group for any interesting comments from those in the
know, any interesting point or opinion is appreciated.

Any fungsua people?

We tolerate (sort of) off-topic wandering/rambling/babbling by regular
posters.

Try going to a geology group and asking them about ham radio. Or go to a
Led Zeppelin Group and ask about Sixth-Century Bhuddist funerals.

See how that works? There needs to be some linkage.

Sorry some of our group were abrupt with you. That was rude.

On the other hand, you do understand that this is an ANTENNA discussion
group, correct?

When you ask about things that are absolutely not on the menu don't
expect nice answers unless you ask very nicely and don't have an attitude.

No problem gents,,

I did look into the geology groups and none were active, active on my news
server. And I have learned a lot from this group, lots of knowledge within
this group, I have made all my antennas. I completely made my sauna, right
from scratch. I was simply curious about the rocks, if there were any
theories as to their selection or why some were selected over others. I
supposed it is a matter of preferrence. Did you know that rocks age several
thousand years each time you heat and cool them? In accourdance with
errosion? And I also learned a lesson in feng shui as these rocks cause a
situation better than viagra, as when my asian gf came into the sauna with
me there last night, well, lets just say we learned a few things there. None
of the rocks exploded, I intentionally coolded a couple of them instantly in
a bucket of ice water then back on the stove then cooled and nothing cracked
or exploded like I read somewhere. Some of them were turning colors but I
might attest that to the fluid replenishments, But still a bit curious why
some sauna places scream about lava rocks, and forbid granite rocks, while
others sell granite rocks. I suppose about 4 million years ago they could
have been the same. So any geological advice from anyone in the know is
awsome. 73s

Hmm, let's see, crystals are often referred to as "rocks" so maybe it's a
stretch, but ...

And granite contains quartz, a constituent of crystals.

And he/she has been polite in spite of some of the responses.

Tuuk, we aren't all ARs.

Yes, there are many legends in their own minds on this group.

What intrigues me is why, when a post is considered 'off topic,' even
labeled 'Off Topic...' the reader doesn't just move on to the next post
but has to respond with some nasty, snarky, demeaning bull****. I guess
some people are just wired so they have to feel superior even though
their behavior causes them to appear insecure and incompetent.
