Really impressed with quality of the tub, pumps and accessories. I’ve had a log burning hot tub in the past and the quality from Baltic is of a much higher standard

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.

Wood-fired hot tubs use a wood-burning stove to heat the water, rather than relying on a conventional electric heater. Simply fill the hot tub with water, light a fire using dry, seasoned firewood and allow the wood burner to gradually bring the water up to a comfortable bathing temperature.
Depending on the design of the hot tub, the wood burner can be integrated into the tub or positioned externally. With an external wood burner, cooler water flows from the hot tub into the heater, where heat from the fire warms it before it circulates back into the tub. This natural circulation process, known as the thermosiphon effect, continually moves warmer water into the hot tub and cooler water towards the heater.
How quickly a wood-fired hot tub heats up will depend on several factors, including the size and water capacity of the tub, starting water temperature, outside temperature, insulation, efficiency of the wood burner and the quality of firewood used. Dry, seasoned wood and a strong, well-managed fire will help the hot tub reach temperature more efficiently.
Unlike an electric hot tub with automatic temperature controls, a traditional wood burning hot tub gives you direct control over the heat. Adding more wood and increasing the airflow creates a hotter fire, while reducing the fire allows the water temperature to stabilise. The temperature should be monitored with a suitable hot tub thermometer throughout the heating process.
For many owners, this simplicity is part of the appeal. A wood-fired wooden hot tub combines effective water heating with the atmosphere of a real log fire, making it an ideal choice for gardens and outdoor spaces where you want a more traditional hot tub experience.
Most Baltic wood fired hot tubs typically take around 1.5–3 hours to heat, although this varies according to the starting water temperature, tub size, weather, insulation and firewood.
Your preferred temperature is a matter of comfort and safe use. Always monitor the water temperature carefully while heating because a wood-fired burner does not operate in exactly the same way as a thermostatically controlled electric heater.
Use dry, seasoned or kiln-dried firewood for efficient heating and reduced smoke. Hardwood such as oak, ash or birch can be suitable. Never burn painted, treated or chemically contaminated timber.
No. Baltic Hot Tubs does not recommend using coal. It can burn too hot and may damage the burner. Use suitable firewood instead.
The wood burner itself does not require an electric heating element to heat the water. However, additional features such as pumps, filtration systems, lighting or jets may require an electricity supply depending on the model and specification.
A simple wood-fired setup can be suitable for off-grid use because its primary source of heat is firewood. If you choose electrically powered filtration, pumps, lighting or other accessories, an appropriate power source will also be required.
Running costs largely depend on how much your firewood costs, how frequently you use the tub, weather conditions and the efficiency of your setup. Owners with access to affordable firewood may find wood heating particularly attractive.
There isn’t one fixed amount because consumption varies according to tub size, starting water temperature, outside temperature, wood moisture content and how efficiently the fire is managed. Dry firewood and good insulation will help you use your fuel efficiently.
Yes. A wood fired hot tub can provide an excellent year-round outdoor bathing experience. Allow additional heating time during colder weather and make sure you follow appropriate winter care procedures to protect the tub and heating system.
An integrated burner sits within the hot tub’s overall footprint, creating a compact setup but reducing some internal bathing space. An external burner sits beside the tub, leaving more of the interior available for bathers.
Regular maintenance includes removing ash and debris from the burner, keeping the chimney and firebox clean, looking after the water and keeping the tub covered when it isn’t being used. Exact water-care requirements depend on your hot tub setup.
Baltic Hot Tubs advises that chlorine tablets can be used moderately in a suitable floating dispenser. Heavy chlorine use can shorten the life of the burner. Follow the manufacturer’s water-care instructions for your particular hot tub.
Baltic Hot Tubs does not advise using bromine in its wood fired hot tubs. Contact our team if you need advice about the appropriate water-care routine for your model.
Some wood fired hot tub configurations can include electrically powered comfort features. Check the individual product specification or speak to our team if jets or other spa-style features are important to you.
A suitable thermal cover is highly recommended. It helps prevent debris entering the water and reduces heat loss, which can make heating and retaining warmth more efficient.
Your hot tub needs a suitable, stable and level base capable of supporting its substantial weight when filled with water and occupied. Speak to our team before installation if you are unsure whether your planned location is suitable.
That depends on the model and whether you choose an integrated or external burner. Remember to allow sufficient space for safe access, operating the burner and carrying out maintenance, rather than measuring only the diameter of the tub.
Yes, subject to suitable access. Baltic Hot Tubs offers delivery and installation across the UK. Our tubs arrive fully assembled, so access dimensions should be checked carefully before delivery.
