Designed for up to 7 bathers, it combines a durable Thermo-Spruce surround with a comfortable, easy-clean contoured fiberglass interior and a high-efficiency 304 stainless steel wood-burning heater. No electrical hookup required.

FAQs
Does the Model S6N need electricity?
No. The S6N is fully wood-fired and does not require an electrical connection for heating.
How long does it take to heat?
Product materials commonly reference ~1.5–2 hours to heat 436 gallons from about 40°F to 95°F in typical conditions. Timing varies with weather, starting water temperature, wood quality, wind, and cover use.
Is this a “hot tub with jets”?
No. This is a wood-burning soaking hot tub designed for simple, authentic bathing (no powered jets, pumps, or digital controls).
Can I place it on a deck?
Possibly—confirm the structure is engineered for the filled load (tub + water + occupants) and verify solid-fuel clearance requirements. When in doubt, consult a licensed engineer/contractor.
How do I maintain water quality?
Use the insulated cover consistently and maintain water per your preferred treatment program. Refresh water as needed based on usage and environment.
What size firewood should I use?
Product specs reference wood up to 16". Always follow the included manual for safe operation and best results.
Pro Tip: Keep your firewood dry and covered. Seasoned wood heats faster and burns cleaner, and using the insulated cover during warmup can reduce heat loss.
