About

Full space for bathers, fire kept at a distance. Deluxe Tub External moves the wood burner outside the 180cm Thermowood tub, circulating heated water in rather than sharing internal space with a firebox. Easier to tend and refuel without reaching into the water. A safer distance for households with children using the tub alongside adults, with the full bathing volume kept clear for two or three.

Keeping the firebox outside the tub structure entirely brings a particular peace of mind, especially for households with children, since there's clear physical separation between the heat source and anyone bathing. This doesn't change the core wellbeing benefits of wood fired hot tub use: warm water immersion improves circulation and eases muscle tension, and the ritual of tending a fire to heat your own bathing water remains a genuinely calming, deliberate process distinct from an instant electric alternative.

What the external design specifically protects is full, uncompromised bathing volume, since there's no internal housing taking up space that bathers would otherwise use. For two or three bathers wanting genuine room to move and relax rather than working around an integrated heater unit, this matters for overall comfort during a soak.

Many users also find an external burner simply easier to tend, fully accessible from outside rather than reaching into a housing built into the tub itself, which can make the whole process of building and managing the fire feel more straightforward, particularly for anyone newer to wood fired bathing. That ease of management, combined with full bathing space and the reassurance of keeping the heat source separate from bathers, makes the external burner design a strong default choice for many households building a regular wood fired soaking routine.
Delivered flat-packed for self-assembly, with free UK mainland delivery on qualifying orders. The larger Cube format requires a little more assembly time than the smaller Icon models, so we recommend allowing a weekend and having a second person to help. A solid, level base and suitable delivery access are required.

For a complete setup, select Professional Installation and choose your preferred date, allowing for the stated production lead time. We’ll then arrange the installation around your requirements, including any additional preparation or works needed to accommodate your sauna where possible.

Electric sauna heaters require a suitable dedicated electrical supply and are not simply plug-and-play. The power requirements depend on the heater's output and the electrical supply available at the property.

Smaller heaters may be suitable for a 230V single-phase supply, while larger or more powerful heaters can require a 400V three-phase supply. Single-phase power uses one electrical phase, whereas three-phase power distributes the load across three phases and is better suited to higher-powered equipment.

The correct supply will depend on the specific heater you choose, so the heater's electrical requirements should always be checked before installation.

Sauna heaters will normally need to be hard-wired into a correctly rated dedicated circuit with the appropriate cable, isolation and electrical protection. They should not be connected using a standard household plug or extension lead.

The final electrical connection should be completed by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with the heater manufacturer's instructions and applicable electrical regulations. This is important for both safety and reliable operation of the heater.

If you're based in the Leicestershire area, we can arrange the electrical installation of your sauna heater for an additional fee. Please speak to our team if you'd like this included with your sauna.

Wood-fired sauna heaters do not require an electrical supply for heating, but they do require the correct installation of the stove, chimney, flue and surrounding heat protection.

The stove must be positioned according to the manufacturer's required safety distances from timber walls, benches and other combustible materials. Depending on the stove and sauna design, suitable heat shields or other non-combustible protection may also be required.

The floor beneath and immediately around the stove may also require suitable non-combustible protection, particularly where there is a risk of embers or hot material falling from the stove.

A suitable chimney and flue system must be installed to safely carry smoke and combustion gases outside the sauna. Where the flue passes through the roof, the correct insulated chimney components, roof flashing and heat-resistant protection should be used.

Correct ventilation is also important. A wood-fired stove requires an adequate supply of combustion air, while the sauna itself needs sufficient airflow to provide fresh air, circulate heat and allow moisture to escape.

When choosing the position of an outdoor wood-fired sauna, you should also consider where the chimney will discharge in relation to your house, neighbouring properties, windows, boundaries and outdoor seating areas.

Any applicable local requirements should be checked before installation, particularly where chimney positioning, smoke control or other restrictions may apply.

Caring for this external burner wood fired hot tub means managing two separate elements: the tub itself and the external heater unit. After each session, let the firebox cool fully before clearing ash, and check the heater's connection point to the tub periodically for any signs of wear or leaking at the junction.

Drain and refresh the bathing water regularly depending on usage frequency, and wipe down the full, uncompromised interior periodically, checking stave joints for leaks especially after the tub has sat empty for a period. Because the external burner sits outside the main structure, it's worth periodically checking its own mounting and stability, separate from the tub's general condition.

Thermowood's natural weather resistance keeps exterior maintenance minimal for the tub itself. A light oil treatment every couple of years maintains the original colour if preferred, or allow natural weathering to a silvery grey, which requires no upkeep. Check the external heater for soot build-up periodically, since this affects heating efficiency regardless of its position relative to the tub.
This tub comes with a 5 year warranty for residential use and 2 years for commercial use, covering structural timber and hardware. Valid claims are assessed case by case, and we'll supply replacement parts wherever possible rather than the whole tub.
Production takes 2-4 weeks, plus 1-2 weeks dispatch time for pallet haulage. This tub is delivered flat packed unless otherwise stated. Free UK mainland shipping applies to orders over £500 covering up to one double pallet (2.4m x 1.2m x 2.2m) or two single pallets (1.2m x 1.2m x 2.2m). If your order exceeds this due to length, weight, or quantity, additional pallet charges may apply and are quoted separately based on postcode. Please have a solid base, clear access, and suitable unloading space ready before delivery. Pallet deliveries are kerbside only, and you're responsible for moving goods onto your property.

Full bathing volume, fire kept outside

The Deluxe Tub External pairs the same 180 centimetre diameter and 93 centimetre depth as its internal burner sibling with an externally mounted stove instead, freeing up the full internal volume of the tub for bathers rather than sharing it with a firebox taking up valuable space. Heated water is circulated from the external burner into the tub, a configuration that keeps the inside of the tub completely clear and arguably more comfortable for the full two or three person capacity it is designed for.

Thermowood construction provides the same moisture resistant performance found across the range, suited to a tub that will be holding heated water outdoors continuously through every season the garden experiences. An external burner is generally easier to tend and refuel without needing to reach into the water itself, and it keeps the firebox at a safer distance from bathers, which some owners prefer over an internal arrangement, particularly where children might be using the tub alongside adults.

Deluxe Tub External suits anyone who wants the maximum usable internal space from their tub and does not mind the slightly larger overall footprint that comes with mounting the burner outside the main bathing area itself, a sensible trade for households who plan to use the tub regularly with more than one person at a time.
