a friend of mine has one and they are great to sit in and relax but they do need planning as you need to start a fire and wait for the water to heat up. So much for impulse. On the nice side the smell of wood burning is also great.

The neighbour to my in-laws at the lake have the exact hot tub that you have in the picture. I have used it many times. It is great. We fill it with water from the lake using a trash pump, then get the fire going. I can't remember exactly how long it takes to warm the water but if I think a few hours sounds right. We do use an old oar to circulate the water once in a while but that is no big deal. There is a movable shroud that enables you to bank the fire down as you like.

The supplier for these has been in Edmonton for the Log home show at the Agricom for the past 2-3 years

i was searching this info out a few weeks ago here is a company that looks like they know their ch!t Canadian Hot Tubs Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions some good info on their faq too, i think they sell the wood fired too.

you would have to plan a soak in a wood fired tub like sex with cialis, plan for it a few hours

Thinking that maybe a hexagonal shaped tub would be easier to build. couple steel bands around it should hold er together pretty good. now just to find me something suitable to make a snorkeled stove out of...
