There’s something magical about stepping into a warm tub on a crisp winter evening, especially when the heat comes from a crackling fire in a traditional wood fire stove. Known for our affordable yet premium home products, ALEKO brings you an authentic, eco-friendly hot tub experience. This is where traditional craftsmanship meets modern luxury. Our collection of wood-fired hot tubs are made from high-quality materials that let you enjoy a soothing soak without the need for electricity. Its durable construction, featuring pine, western red cedar, and stainless steel, ensures longevity, while the natural heating method offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional hot tubs. The ALEKO wood-fired hot tub is perfect for those looking for a rustic appeal, the scent of cedar, and a natural way to relax. Our hot tub models can also double as a cold plunge or ice bath tub. Now you can look forward to events that call for small gatherings or days that require solo relaxation.
Our hot tubs, like most kits sold online, do not come fully assembled. We provide easy-to-follow manuals to ensure your hot tub is built correctly. Once assembled, ALEKO hot tubs are easy to maintain and simple to operate. Use a garden hose to fill the hot tub with water. Fill it to the recommended level and allow room for displacement when people enter the tub. Light the wood-burning stove and wait for the water to heat to your ideal temperature. Our convenient hot tub stoves consume zero electricity and gas and do not require pumps, wiring, or filtration systems to operate, making them perfect for off-grid living.
All that’s left to do is change into your swimsuit and add in some spa scents or other spa accessories to create the perfect hot tub experience. You can always contact an ALEKO representative if you need further help and hot tub service.
How long does a wood-fired hot tub take to heat?
The ALEKO wood-fired hot tubs typically take about 2 to 3 hours to heat, depending on the initial water temperature, the size of the tub, and the efficiency of the stove. Factors such as the type of wood you burn can also influence heating time. Softwoods like pine catch and burn faster, while well-seasoned quality wood tends to burn longer. Outside temperature can also influence the heating time. ALEKO hot tub collection has superior heating capacity so you don’t have to wait long for your soak.
How long can you leave water in a hot tub?
You can leave water in a hot tub for about 1 to 2 weeks if it's untreated, but if you use proper water treatment chemicals and maintain the water chemistry, it can be left in the hot tub for 1 to 3 months. Untreated and stagnant water results in bacterial growth which you would need chemicals to clean. Always do regular testing and maintenance of water quality for safe, clean water, whether you fill your tub with tap water or natural water from a lake or well.
Is a wood-fired hot tub cheaper to run?
Yes, a wood-fired hot tub is generally cheaper to run compared to electric or gas-heated hot tubs. Your main cost is the wood used for heating, and ALEKO's efficient heating design means you'll burn less wood than many other wood-fired models, often costing less than electricity or gas, especially with locally sourced firewood. Wood-fired hot tubs also do not add up to your electricity costs which makes them a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for many homeowners. ALEKO hot tubs are premium but low maintenance so you don’t have to worry about another added cost. Plus, this traditional heating method offers natural comfort, efficient performance, and a beautiful outdoor retreat you’ll always want to return to.

Can I pair my hot tub with a sauna?
Absolutely. Many ALEKO customers pair a wood-fired hot tub with one of our barrel or cabin saunas to build a complete outdoor space retreat. Alternate between the sauna's dry heater and a soothing soak, or finish with a cold plunge in your hot tub for the full contrast therapy experience.
How do I maintain or winterize my wood-fired hot tub?
Regular upkeep is simple: stoke the fire as needed to maintain your ideal water temperature, and check the chimney periodically for creosote buildup so it keeps drafting properly. In cold climates, drain the water completely after each use to prevent the wood from freezing and cracking. Simply remove the plug and let gravity do the work.
