Making an Outdoor, Wood fired Bath

This protect cost $20 for the old bath and half a days work, the other stuff i had laying around.

Simplicity in it's finest form. That's what i like. No flashy intros and loud music, no gibbering on about bollocks and fake Instagram smiles. Good job mate! This reminds me i need to get into shape like you

[@F95GHomestead]

No simple would have been getting a free cast iron tub off craigslist and putting a fire under it.. this cost more money and time then needed

[@rodgebodge7373]

Next project, a rocket stove to replace that fire pit

[@bridokane874]

Looks great, does it over heat at all? I'd be afraid of burning myself

[@loopyluchead]

Am I the only one thinking “how does this not burn your ass”

[@ginatobin778]

Just made mine and absolute loving it! But do you have a soot issue? Everytime I get in I get soot everywhere 😆

[@TheSjumc]

Great job. I am curious what kind of container you used for the fire 🔥 and also where did you get the cover from? 👏👏👏

[@mtarrant3]

The fire pit is a washing machine drum, this isn't really needed you could just light a fire on the ground. I made the cover out of form ply and corrugated iron.

I'm thinking of doing something similar to this but not outside but in a shed or large restroom making it like a onsen to possibly reduce gas bills, any thoughts guys?

[@clindsell6111]

you would be better off building a basic radiator if your heating a house tbh. but if you mean heating the shed and having the tub inside get an old boiler tank and some copper tube piping then use the pipes to make two off shoots for the tank that lead to the tub. then make a hatch in the wall so you can feed the fire and boom. fire heats the boiler which makes the cold water flow in and the hot water flow out which heats the pipes which warms the room

What is the bath made of as I'm sure not all materials are good with fire?

[@murrayhiggins3061]

dude! you're the best!

[@rosstituteuk]

Nice. How long does it take to heat? .. Do you have any issues with it getting too hot? Just about to build one myself ..

[@mtarrant3]

about 30mins, it can get to hot if the fire is to big, it didn't take long to figure out the right sized fire for optimum bathing.

[@rosstituteuk]

@@mtarrant3 brilliant, thanks for the information. how did you find using the enameled steel bath? did it stand up to the fire OK over the long term? I'm trying to decide between an enameled steel vs cast iron tub. the enameled steel would be much easier worked with!

[@mtarrant3]

@@rosstituteuk I have only had it for about 6 months but all good so far.

[@emdiggy]

Hmm all that effort welding the frame only to raise it up on a stack of bricks.

[@AtalibaCoelho]

Kkkkk! Very goooooood!

[@TruthLove333]

Cool. What did you build the fire in?

[@mtarrant3]

A washing machine drum

[@ruwatson7119]

hey, what did you use to plug the bath?

[@mtarrant3]

just a normal plug

[@JustT725]

So cool!

[@Johnwillbegone]

What could go wrong ?

[@beeman1246]

too much beer and fall asleep?

[@IvEight]

Exactly what I was looking for. Congrats on your creation and thank you for sharing it!

[@benjaminrennicke]

Did the rubber plug melt?

[@mtarrant3]

No

[@Guytsarchian]

Awesome.

[@northlanddude9515]

What did you use for the bottom stopper?

[@mtarrant3]

Just a normal plug.

[@qstogg7955]

Did the steel under the fire 🔥 not burn you?

[@mtarrant3]

It gets hot but it doesn't burn, we normally sit on a thin piece of wood.
