Frequently Asked Questions – Small Wood Fired Hot Tubs for 2–4 Persons

How much space do I need for a small 2–4 person wood fired hot tub?

Most compact hot tubs require between 160–200 cm of space in diameter, plus an additional
50–70 cm around the tub for safe access and stove loading. Even small patios or narrow UK gardens
can usually accommodate a 2–4 seat model.

How long does a wood fired hot tub take to heat up?

Small wood fired hot tubs typically heat up in 1.5–2 hours in summer and
2–2.5 hours in winter. Heating time depends on the model, water volume, weather conditions
and the stove type.

How much wood does a small hot tub use per session?

A 2–4 person wood fired hot tub typically uses 25–35 kg of dry hardwood per full heating cycle.
Kiln-dried logs burn more efficiently and reduce smoke output.

Can a small wood fired hot tub be used in winter in the UK?

Yes. Small hot tubs offered on WoodenHotTubSale.co.uk are built for year-round UK outdoor use.
ThermoWood, fibreglass and polypropylene tubs provide strong insulation and withstand freezing temperatures.

Do I need electricity for a wood fired hot tub?

No electricity is required to heat the water. Electricity is only needed for optional upgrades such as
LED lighting, massage jets, filtration pumps, or an electric heater to maintain temperature.

What is the difference between an internal and external wood stove?

Internal stoves heat the water faster and are more wood-efficient. External stoves free up more seating space
inside the tub, are easier to clean, and are considered safer for families with children.

How many people can comfortably fit in a small wood fired hot tub?

Depending on the model, 2-person tubs are ideal for couples, 2–3 person tubs offer compact comfort,
and 4-person hot tubs are suitable for families or two couples.

Are small wood fired hot tubs easy to maintain?

Yes. Smaller tubs require less water, heat quicker, and are easier to clean. Polypropylene and fibreglass tubs
offer the lowest maintenance of all models.

How often should I change the water in a small hot tub?

With a filtration system, change the water every 2–4 weeks. Without filtration, change the water every
1–3 uses. Cold plunge tubs may require more frequent water changes.

Can I place a wood fired hot tub on decking?

Yes, as long as the decking structure can support the weight. A small 2–4 person tub filled with water and users
can weigh between 1,500–2,200 kg. Reinforcement or a concrete base may be required.
