The service was excellent and the hot tub is a fabulous addition to our house. Looking forward to getting a canopy over it and enjoying cold winter evenings overlooking the burn outside the house.

WHAT IS A WOOD FIRED HOT TUB?

A wood fired hot tub is an eco-friendly outdoor bathing experience that combines relaxation with the rustic charm and traditional warmth of natural wood heating. Specifically designed for outdoor use, wood fired hot tubs are typically crafted from premium quality wood such as cedar, spruce or thermo-wood, enhancing both their aesthetic appeal and durability.

Unlike electric or gas-powered hot tubs, wood fired hot tub models utilise a sustainable heating method, relying on a wood-burning stove that efficiently heats the water. This stove can either be integrated within the wood-fired hot tub or placed externally, connected via pipes, allowing for easy temperature management.

The key features of a wood-fired hot tub include:

  1. Eco-Friendly: Utilising renewable resources, these tubs significantly reduce your carbon footprint compared to electrically heated tubs.

  2. Energy Efficiency: Wood fired hot tubs heat water quickly and retain warmth efficiently, saving energy and operational costs.

  3. Handcrafted in the UK: Expertly constructed from high-quality in the United Kingdom, our wood-fired hot tubs are resilient against weather and wear, providing long-lasting enjoyment.

Baltic Hot Tubs proudly offers handcrafted wood-fired hot tubs, capturing the tradition of outdoor bathing combined with contemporary comfort and sustainability.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A WOOD FIRED HOT TUB?

A Wood Fired Hot Tub isn’t just a way to unwind — it’s an eco-friendly solution offering numerous health and environmental benefits. Here are some key advantages of investing in a Wood Fired Hot Tub:

1. Natural Experience

Relaxation in a Wood Fired Hot Tub offers a truly authentic experience close to nature. The gentle crackle of burning wood and the soothing aroma it provides creates an unmatched tranquil atmosphere, ideal for stress relief and peaceful relaxation.

2. Eco-Friendly

A Wood Fired Hot Tub is an eco-friendly choice, running entirely on renewable resources like sustainable wood. It significantly reduces your carbon footprint compared to electric or gas-powered tubs.

3. Cost-Effective

Operating a Wood Fired Hot Tub is notably cost-effective. Without the reliance on electricity or gas, you avoid high utility bills, making it an economical and energy-efficient choice. Over time, this translates to substantial savings.

5. Rapid Heating & Efficiency

Wood fired heating systems are highly efficient, quickly bringing water to the perfect temperature in just a few hours. This efficiency ensures less waiting and more soaking, enhancing convenience and enjoyment.

6. Health & Wellness Benefits

Regular use of a Wood Fired Hot Tub can significantly improve health. Soaking in warm water eases tension, soothes aching muscles, promotes blood circulation, improves sleep quality, and provides relief from arthritis and other joint pains.

ARE WOOD FIRED HOT TUBS WORTH IT?

When considering a hot tub purchase, long-term operational costs are an important factor. Many buyers wonder, “are wood fired hot tubs worth it compared to electric alternatives?” The answer is: yes — they offer distinct advantages, particularly for those looking for a more sustainable and self-sufficient heating option.

Upfront Costs: Wood Fired vs Electric

Both wood fired and electric hot tubs can range from around £2,000 to £20,000, depending on size, features, and materials. At first glance, the initial investment is fairly comparable. However, the key differences emerge over time — especially when it comes to ongoing running costs and energy independence.

Efficient and Economical Heating

One of the strongest advantages of wood fired hot tubs lies in their lower operational costs. While electric hot tubs offer the convenience of automated heating and temperature control, they rely on a steady supply of electricity, which can lead to higher monthly energy bills — particularly during colder months or in areas with rising energy tariffs.

In contrast, wood fired hot tubs are powered by renewable wood fuel, which can be both economical and environmentally conscious. If you have access to affordable or self-sourced firewood, your heating costs can be significantly lower and more predictable.

  • Electric hot tubs: Monthly costs vary depending on usage, insulation, and energy prices.
  • Wood fired hot tubs: More cost-effective to run, especially with access to local or self-supplied firewood.

At Baltic Hot Tubs, we now offer a full range of both wood fired and electric hot tubs, so you can choose the model that suits your lifestyle best. Whether you’re drawn to the rustic charm and off-grid potential of a wood fired tub, or the ease and convenience of an electric model, we have the perfect solution for you.

Let us help you find your ideal hot tub — whichever heating method you choose.

FAQs: Wood Fired Hot Tubs

How do wood fired hot tubs work?

Wood fired hot tubs use a built-in or external wood burner to heat the water. By lighting a fire inside the stove and burning the logs, the water gradually warms as it circulates through the system. Most tubs reach an optimal soaking temperature within 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on size, insulation, and external temperature.

How long does it take to heat a wood fired hot tub?

Heating time typically ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on factors such as the outside temperature, the amount of water, and the efficiency of the stove. Using dry, seasoned firewood and keeping the tub covered while heating can help speed up the process.

What is a wood fired hot tub?

A wood fired hot tub is a traditional soaking tub heated using a wood-burning stove instead of electricity. This method provides a natural, eco-friendly way to heat the water, offering an authentic and relaxing outdoor bathing experience.

Are wood fired hot tubs expensive to run?

No, wood fired hot tubs are highly cost-effective. They require only firewood for heating, eliminating the need for electricity and reducing long-term operating costs. Proper insulation and a thermal cover help retain heat, making them even more efficient.

Do I need electricity for a wood fired hot tub?

No, traditional wood fired hot tubs do not require electricity for heating. However, if you choose additional features like LED lighting, hydro massage jets, or an air bubble system, you will need an electrical connection for those elements.

How do I maintain a wood fired hot tub?

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Cleaning the tub: Rinse and scrub the interior regularly to prevent buildup.
  • Managing water quality: Change the water as needed and use natural sanitisers if required.
  • Emptying the stove: Remove ash and debris from the wood burner to maintain efficient heating.
  • Protecting the tub: Keep it covered when not in use to retain heat and prevent debris from entering.

Can I use my wood fired hot tub in winter?

Yes, wood fired hot tubs are perfect for year-round use, including winter. The wood burner quickly heats the water, and a well-insulated tub retains warmth even in freezing temperatures.

What type of wood should I use for the wood fired hot tub?

For the best results when heating a log fired hot tub, use dry, seasoned hardwood such as oak, ash, or birch. These woods burn efficiently, produce more heat, and create less smoke compared to softwoods. Avoid treated or painted wood, as they can release harmful chemicals.

How many people can fit in a wood fired hot tub?

Our wood fired hot tubs come in various sizes, ranging from compact 2-person tubs to larger 8-person models. Each tub is designed to provide ample space for comfort while ensuring efficient heating.

How is the log fired hot tub delivered and installed?
