Tucked away in 5 acres of pine forests with spa like amenities including a Finnish Sauna in a converted log cabin and an 'off grid' wood fired hot tub. Here's our simple 'how to' guide to get the most of this unique hot tub experience. With a little patience and dedication, you will be proud of the fire that you built and the tub that you heated ON YOUR OWN! Book your stay with us on Airbnb (www.airbnb.com/h/thebrookpec).

I built one from my blow up saluspa hot tub when it started leaking. I used an IBC tank and put the unit in the stairs I built to get in and out. Insulated and barn boarded everything then made an insulated lid with handles. I build a bench on one side and the pump in and out lines attach to a 2x6 going down one corner. Still uses the puck holder and filter from the blow up saluspa. Bin going strong for many months now. 🇨🇦

Why does everyone post their text box at the bottom of the video knowing we can’t read it when YT puts so much stuff at the bottom of the screen?

Hola, que le echaste a la caldera? Cómo se llama, imagino que es para acelerar el proceso de encendido. Podrías enviarme por favor, una foto que muestre la tapa de tu tinaja por abajo para ver como van los palos por debajo

[@PaletaLee]

Don't forget the onions, the celery and some shoyu to give your **guests** some extra flavour 🫠🍗🔥

[@Crux161]

Heating with the cover on is probably a better idea

[@Hunterkey123]

who made this tub? Looks pretty slick!

[@stawastawa]

Ditto! Woods you get this from?

[@Hunterkey123]

@@stawastawa I think its made by alumitubs

[@ryanfowler5201]

It's alumitubs!

[@gutsglory3625]

@@ryanfowler5201 how hot is the water in its max temp during your bath?

[@forestarcher47]

how does it get air in if most of the container is under water and u close off the inlet?

[@michaelrogers3857]

So its hard to see but the lid doesnt have to be coving 100% on the hole, you can slide it back and forth and also you can just run the fire with the lid completely off if you want, theres is a plate that runs from the lid area down to thr bottom of the fire area so fresh air can get in to burn but its hard to see on video

Friend, let me give you a piece of advice that will save the hair on your arm and give you a beautiful starting fire every time. It’s the “Top Down Method” you are welcome.

[@kimberlydawn.4186]

Does your water ever turn green when heating? Ours just started to 😢

[@michaelrogers3857]

That may be from the wooden benches on the inside, ours is pine benches and turns the water from the lake into a lovely tea color and smells great

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

You either need to swap the water pretty much daily or treat it with chemicals. Its literally a sesspool of bacteria.

[@sketos_d]

How to clean the ashes afterwards?

[@ryanfowler5201]

there's a little stainless steel scoop that comes with it when you purchase an alumitubs. It's the device seen in the video used to mix the hot tub (works as a very large spoon for that purpose too!)

[@innernerdcollector]

But it doesn’t have jets for the bubbles haha

[@patrickspellman8758]

Put the words somewhere else, we can’t see them

[@boundariessetinstone5893]

Old school Lol

[@ginnybaumeister9561]

[@robertamandab7932]

Could it get too hot??

[@ryanfowler5201]

Yes definitely but typically we are using this in very cold temps so we just pop the top off and let the natural air cool it / slow down on loading in more wood.

[@robertamandab7932]

@@ryanfowler5201 sounds devine. Do you have to use any chemicals to clean it or how often do you change the water ?

[@michaelrogers3857]

Ya but then you just stop adding wood, you get good at dialing it in how you like jt

[@stevemcguffey148]

I wonder how you get all of the old firewood out of the deep container.

[@michaelrogers3857]

I own one of these theyre great, just dont touch the chimney, ask me how i know... but ya when u buy it theres an option to get a shovel thats head is bent 90° so u just drop it in and scoop it out easy peasy

[@kentuckyparkis7398]

BURNING PLASTIC IS TERRIBLE!! Don’t do it folks!!! You will suffocate!!

[@happybaals]

Chlorine or salt??

[@ryanfowler5201]

We use chlorine. We're in a rural setting where water refills are straining on our infrastructure so try to let the water last as long as possible. We also rent out our home so want to ensure that guests have safe water to use (albeit chlorine is obviously less enjoyable on your skin... at least it's clean and safe).

[@anthonyklatt9483]

How long do you go in-between fills? My Alumi tub arrives in 4 weeks 🙂
