We've owned this @hello_goodland wood burning hot tub for almost a year and have used in in every season. Here is what we learned and tips and tricks to get the most out of your wood fired hot tub.

Looks really great
Had just seen this for the first time a few hours ago Would like to say your guys did an outstanding job teamwork 100% I could not comment on the other site but I do understand God bless Be safe keep the videos coming😂
Thank you!
Great video.
I got a new farm in upstate ny. Need to build this first thing this spring!!!
Your videos are amazing!! 💯💯 thank you!
🙏
You're my hero. Stay awesome 👍
I know you are by what am I? Hangout in the new year?
Wow, super awesome review. I've been looking into various options for a woodburning hot tub but often get hit with ads. Clearly this is a good product, I like that you mentioned 4 adults is no problem. I just WISH they would make one twice as wide. Thanks for the video!
Thanks! I think they are working on a wider version based on their Instagram stories. For reference though we are small people but we often chose to sit on the same side for the view of the lake (and because our kid is thrashing and diving around on the other side ha)
Good tip for timing the filling. It made me think of another (better?) idea, you can buy an off the shelf toilet floater (the thing that stops when the reservoir is filled) and connect that!
That was my original thought but the pump I am using is good at applying a large volume of water at lower pressure so the pipe reduction of a fill valve like that would likely slow the fill time a lot. I love a mechanical solution though!
Good video, Jonathan ... thanks for sharing. I hope to build my own cedar hot tub later this year and it's good to hear your tips. That butane torch/lighter is a great idea.
Thanks! Yeah the butane torch is used for everything now. Good luck with the build!
I'll use a freaking county trash can lol
How did the build go? Why is everyone choosing cedar? Thanks
Warm it up, Im on my way!
It will be warm when you get here.
Waiting on the Montreal steak spice recommendation for good seasoned firewood ;)
Thank you for comfirming I heard him correctly.
So amazing! Love your a frame…we have the same one built at our lake lot! So cute. How did you build your sauna? Thanks for sharing.
That’s cool! I have a whole playlist about our sauna build and how we did it if you are interested.
sweet video man! your place looks so beautiful.
Thanks Brothers. You guys should come and camp this summer. Steam me out of my own sauna.
Keep it covered is a must! Bugs, mosquitoes and BEARS!
A great tub! Was considering a circular one until I saw this. I have two questions if you don’t mind: 1 What’s the average temperature like once the fire gets going? 2 What’s the make or where did you buy this? Thank you in advance and thanks for the video!
The company that makes this is called Goodland. You can find them at hellogoodland.com. We like to soak at around 105f but it’s often in the area of around 95f when the kiddo is splashing about in it.
@@JonathanKuhn Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for the video. Do you have to drain after each use in the winter to avoid freezing? How do you deal with that?
Depending on the temperature you could leave it for a day or two. We drain it because we don’t stay the night. I’ve tested it though and with the cover on it didn’t freeze solid or anything. It’s best to use a stock tank heater to keep it from freezing if you can in the winter.
Do you empty every night and refill every day in the winter? Thinking about it freezing overnight some nights
Hey bud, this seems like a great and awesome alternative to a traditional jacuzzi. But I got 2 questions? What do you do in the winter time of the water freezes up? And can it ever get too hot in there? Say if you fill the fire box and it’s too much
The property is remote so we just drain it before we leave in the winter. If you had power available you could drop a stock tank heater in it to keep it above freezing. We’ve only gotten it too hot for comfort a couple times. It’s really easy to avoid as you get used to it. If it gets to hot just add water or ice/snow

How hot does the water get compared to an electric hot tub? Any trouble with it getting too hot?
The first couple times we used it we got it past 105F. We added some snow and ice those times. It’s pretty easy to maintain temperature with the firebox lid after a few tries. We got used to maintaining the temperature pretty quickly.
Where did u buy it from? I saw some ads of the chinese one from alibaba, are they any good? And how much wood in lb u need to burn to keep it up for an hour?
Unfortunately the one you are referring to look like a copy attempt. This tub is designed and made in North America. I can’t speak to the alibaba one. This one heats up in about 3 armload of wood and takes hardly any wood at all to maintain the temp.
can u build one 4 me @ my basment
Every basement comes with one actually. Just plug all your drains and run your taps for 2-40hours.
the question I have...what if you leave the water in it and the tub freezes...or do you have to drain it everytime.
If we used the tub that day we will leave the cover on overnight and the water doesn’t freeze. We don’t leave the water in for days on end with very cold temps and we will just drain and refill most times in the winter since we aren’t staying overnight here often.
How do you treat your water. We’ve been told 35% peroxide
We don’t treat ours at all since we have basically an unlimited supply of fresh water. We just fill and drain often using solar energy.
So I assume in the winter you fill and drain after each use?
We do yeah because we only day trip to the lake in the winter for now. But if you use the tub you can leave the water in and use it the next day even in the winter.
@@JonathanKuhn thanks for the quick reply. My wife wants a commercial tub that uses electricity and has to be wired but I want this particular tub for....obvious reasons;) I'll show her this video it's very helpful because the company is new and I had no idea if it's any good or not. Thanks again!
Its a pretty amazing tub. It should outlast a an electric tub a number of times over. You can use that as a selling point 😄
@@HRradness Even a medium size tub increased my electric bill considerably.Can only imagine one of the big ones... Propane might be a good alternative fuel if you're in an area where wood smoke might cause complaints. If one was used daily keeping it hot shouldn't be an issue.

Does the water never gets too hot? If not, how can that be?
It’s only happened a couple times. It gets really easy to manage the fire for a great temp. In the summer we can flip a switch to add water to cool it down and in the winter can we use snow or ice.
Do you dump the water everytime
Depends on the lake water quality or season. Mid summer we drain it every time pretty much. It’s low effort though with the automated pump and quick draining.
How do you keep your pipes from freezing in the winteR?
We pulled out the permanent lake pump in the fall and just drop in a submersible pump in the winter and remove it.
Oh so you fill up and empty after every use, in the winter? Ohhh do you not have any pipes, is it just an open tub? Makes a lot more sense
@jonathanmelendez1163 in the wonder I just use a hose to fill and a short drain tube to empty
Maine?
Not quite! Further north but good guess
@@JonathanKuhn I met a sauna builder nearby in Maine who builds similar tubs
i appreciate your sauna pronunciation
Haha thanks! Don’t ask me to say Löyly though..
What's the hottest it'll reach?
We’ve had it above 105 but it can get much hotter I’m sure if you wanted.
