Skip to content- Check the chamber: Open the combustion chamber and make sure it’s dry inside.
- Start the fire: Place a firelighter at the bottom and light it using kindling only.
- Build it up: Once the fire is burning well, add a few larger pieces of wood. Don’t overload the chamber.
- Cover: Place the lid back on, keeping the narrow side vent open for airflow.
- Retain heat: Place the floating blue bubble cover on the water to help it warm faster.
- Monitor: Check the fire now and then, adding 2–3 pieces of wood as needed.
- Heating time: The tub takes about 2 hours to reach temperature. Once warm, a single log or two every so often will maintain the heat.
- Safety: Avoid touching any metal parts beyond the submerged safety plate — the plate itself stays cool, but the rest can be extremely hot.
