making a sauna / steam room on the cheap?

i want to build a sauna without spending a small fortune. The basic components in my opinion are: an airtight room with good insulation, drain/air vent, and some sort of steam generator.

my current ideas are either…
- a pot on a fire with a steam pipe to the room
- a portable hot plate n a bowl of boiling water
- heck id even settle for a misting system with hot water.

Any ideas, suggestions, or tips?
and im not talking super cheap. but reasonable

You can buy sauna kits that are say 6 x 8 in size. All you have to do is assemble them. If you go onto Amazon.com and read some user reviews, you can pick them up for around $900. Not a bad price and would be a heck of a lot easier than cutting everything yourself.

Sauna $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A sauna (pronounced /sun/), is a small room or house designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions, or an establishment with one or more of these and auxiliary facilities. These facilities derive from the Finnish sauna. The word sauna is also used figuratively to describe an unusually hot or humid environment. A sauna session can be a social affair in which the participants disrobe and sit or recline in temperatures of over 80 C (176 F). This induces relaxation and promotes sweating. Saunas can be divided into two basic styles: Conventional saunas that warm the air or infrared saunas that warm objects. Infrared saunas may use various materials in their heating area such as charcoal, active carbon fibers, and other materials. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
