Q. How much is the freight?

Crate measures 4' wide x 7 1/2' long x2' high.
Q. How much does it weigh?
A.The entire shipping weight of
a 6' x 3' kit is approx. 675 lbs including crate. The tub minus
the stove and benches can be easily carried by 4 people.
Q. How many gallons does it
hold?
A. 6' x 3' tub holds 450 gallons,
6' x 4' tub holds 600 gallons.
Q. How do you control the temperature?
A. Start out with a roaring fire
until you get close to temperature, say 95F, then reduce the
size of the fire until it reaches 102 F - 106F. When you get
to tub temperature keep a small fire going. The fire can also
be slowed down by adjusting the draft. It is better to control
temperature by fire size than by closing the damper because a
build of up creosote can result. If you go over temperature add
cold water.
Q. How long does it take to
heat up?
A. It takes 3 1/2 hours to go from
40F to tub temperature 105F. This is four time as fast as a conventional
spa heater. The 6' x 4' tub takes a little longer.

A. A moderate size wheel barrow load of DRY wood.

the tub is non-corrosive and cedar is not affected by the salt.
