Start to finish build of our OFF GRID NO ELECTRICITY NEEDED WOOD FIRED HOT TUB (IBC CONTAINER)

This is an awesome addition to the homestead! It’s actually our second wood fired hot tub build but the first we did not have any videos made while we did it. The first build we did not use the barrel and the coil was simply sitting on the ground and the fire was made inside it! After using both we can agree that without the barrel is more efficient! The open and exposed coil design can be seen in it own video of setting up the first home built wood fired hot tub

We cut and cleaned the IBC Container, built the wooden frame around the top and bottom of the cage, insulated the floor before putting the plastic tub back in, placed the insulation on the outside between the two wooden frames and secured it with the fence boards as the finished outside of the hot tub. Once the plastic container was back inside the cage we heated the plastic with a heat gun until it was able to bend, we then folded the container down to the wooden lip and secured it with screws. To finish the top we used large 10” wide boards to double as a ledge/shelf for glasses and towels.
The copper coil was formed by shaping it around a 5 gallon bucket and placed inside the barrel after the barrel had the door and chimney hole cut into it.
