Why choose a wood fired hot tub?
The stove heats the water directly and needs no electricity, which makes a wood fired hot tub a good fit for gardens, cabins, guesthouses and glamping sites, even where there is no mains power. Depending on size, stove power, weather and starting water temperature, our tubs heat up with wood in about 2–7 hours.
Wood fired, electric or both?
Almost every hot tub on this page can be ordered with an electric heater: a Gecko heater with Wi-Fi control. You can buy it together with the wood-burning stove or instead of it.

How it works |
Best for |
| Wood fired stove only |
Light the fire and the stove heats the water. No electricity is needed. |
Off-grid sites and the traditional experience at the lowest price |
| Wood + electric (hybrid hot tub) |
Heat the water quickly with wood, then set your temperature on the electric heater. It heats to that temperature and keeps the water there. |
Fast heating plus warm water whenever you want it, without tending the fire |
| Electric heater only |
Set the temperature and the heater does the rest. There is no fire, smoke or ash. |

Acrylic, fiberglass, plastic or wooden: which hot tub liner to choose?
The liner is the inner shell you sit in. It decides how the tub feels, how easy it is to clean and what it costs. Outside, most models are clad in spruce as standard, with thermowood (heat-treated and more resistant to moisture) or WPC composite as options.

Internal or external stove?
Every stove is made from AISI 304 stainless steel as standard. On selected models you can upgrade to AISI 316, which resists corrosion even better.

What size hot tub do you need?
Our product names give sizes as inside / outside, and this table uses the same format. For example, Ø 1.8/2 m means 1.8 m inside and 2.0 m outside.
Water volume depends on the seat layout as well as the size. Wooden tubs have a simple bench, so they hold the most water for their size. Molded acrylic and fiberglass seats take up space. The 2.2 × 2.2 m Jacuzzi has five seats and a lie-down lounger, so it needs less water than the smaller 2 × 2 m square tub.
Options and extras
- Thermo-lid: an insulated cover that keeps heat in and leaves and dirt out.
- Electric heater: a Gecko heater with Wi-Fi control, either together with the wood stove (hybrid) or instead of it.
- Massage systems: 8–10 hydro-massage jets and 12–18 air jets.
- LED lighting for evening soaks.
- Sand filter: keeps the water clean for longer between changes.
- Finish: spruce, thermowood or WPC cladding, plus a choice of paint or impregnation colors.
Jets, LED lighting, filters and electric heaters need a power supply, so have them connected by a qualified electrician.
Prices, lead time, delivery and payment
Prices include 21% Lithuanian VAT and are quoted ex-works Lithuania (EXW), without delivery. Under EU rules, private buyers pay their own country’s VAT rate. EU companies with a valid VAT number receive a 0% VAT invoice, and buyers outside the EU pay local import duties and taxes.
Lead time: most standard models are dispatched from Lithuania within 3–5 weeks of order confirmation. Transport time depends on your country.
Delivery: we quote delivery separately for your address and can deliver door to door anywhere in Europe. Send us your full address or Google Maps coordinates for a quote. Each delivery travels with a CMR consignment note, which makes the carrier liable for the goods from loading until delivery. Check your hot tub on arrival and write any damage on the CMR note before you sign it. Standard delivery does not include unloading. An empty tub weighs 150–300 kg, so arrange a forklift or enough helpers, or ask us for delivery with unloading.
Payment: 50% to confirm the order and 50% when your hot tub is ready for dispatch, by bank transfer or card.
Setting up and caring for your hot tub
- Base: place the tub on a level, solid base such as a concrete slab, paving or compacted gravel. When filled with water and people, a Ø 1.8/2 m tub weighs about 2.5 tonnes and a Ø 2/2.25 m tub up to 3.5 tonnes.
- Chimney: every wood fired tub comes with a 2 m chimney and rain cap. Keep it clear of buildings, trees and anything flammable.
- Heating: never light the stove in an empty tub. Start with dry kindling, then add larger logs.
- Winter use: when temperatures drop below 0 °C, drain the tub and stove after use unless you keep the water heated. Water that freezes can damage the stove.
- Wooden and plastic tubs: keep them filled with water whenever it is above 0 °C.
Step-by-step instructions are in our hot tub user manual and our guide to setting up a new hot tub.

Wood fired hot tub FAQ
How long does a wood fired hot tub take to heat up?
About 2–3.5 hours for a wooden tub or a 2-person ofuro, 3–6 hours for a Ø 1.8/2 m tub with an external stove, and 4–7 hours for a Ø 2/2.25 m tub. Cold weather and cold starting water add time, while a thermo-lid shortens it.
How much does a wood fired hot tub cost?
Wooden tubs start at €1,360, fiberglass tubs cost €1,530–€2,300, the rectangular plastic tub costs €2,100, and acrylic tubs cost €1,750–€4,200. The top of that range is a complete spa set with massage jets and LED lighting. Prices include 21% Lithuanian VAT, and delivery is quoted separately.
How long until my hot tub arrives?
Most standard models are dispatched from Lithuania within 3–5 weeks of order confirmation. Transport time then depends on your country.
Can I use a wood fired hot tub in winter?
Yes. A hot soak in the snow is a big part of the appeal, and insulated acrylic and fiberglass models with a thermo-lid hold heat best. In freezing weather, drain the tub and stove after use unless you keep the water heated.
Do I need electricity?
Not for a wood fired hot tub, because the stove needs no power. You only need electricity for optional extras such as jets, LED lighting, a sand filter or an electric heater.
Can I order an electric hot tub without a wood stove?
Yes. Almost every model can be ordered with an electric heater only. You can also combine both: heat the water quickly with wood, then let the electric heater hold the temperature you set.
What warranty do I get?
Private buyers get the 2-year legal guarantee of conformity under EU consumer law, counted from the day of delivery. If a defect that existed at delivery appears within that time, contact us and we will repair or replace the faulty part. The guarantee doesn’t cover normal wear, damage from misuse, or frost damage from not draining the tub and stove in freezing weather.
Do you install the hot tub?
We don’t offer on-site installation. Setting up is straightforward: prepare a level base, position the tub, fit the chimney, fill it and start heating. Our user manual covers each step, and we are happy to answer questions on WhatsApp.
Which countries do you deliver to?
All European countries, including the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and mainland Europe. Send us your address for a delivery quote.
