diy wood fired hot tub?
« on: March 11, 2016, 12:29:10 pm »
Thinking about making a wood fired hot tub out of cedar.
Anyone know any good plans online?
Would need a filter and immersion heater to keep water from defrosting :-[ freezing as it gets to -30 celsius in winter here.
I like the models where the heating aluminium tank is inside the tub (snorkel) but have seen that most have it outside and separate from the tub.

If you "keep the water from defrosting", it will be constantly frozen.
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.
