Paradise for two in your own garden

What could possibly be more idyllic than a full-body soak for two in an authentic coopered red Cedar Wood Ofuro hot tub in your own garden, heated by a wood fire? The all-natural scent of cedar, combined with the crackle of a log fire and the aroma of the flowers in your garden is an exquisite experience that cannot be matched by anything else.

The 650mm interior depth of the hot tub provides a unique buoyant floating experience that cannot be emulated in any other spa or hot tub.

Why buy the wood-fired version of the Northern Lights Ofuro 2-person hot tub?

For starters, the world-class wood-fired hot tub can be installed anywhere, even at your cabin in the woods or in a secret spot in your garden, because it does not require electricity. The operating costs are considerably less than electricity; and the wood oven heats the water six times faster than an electric heater.

The natural appearance of the cedar wood, wood-fired stove and customised cedar accessories perfectly blends in with the design of your garden or outside on the patio or deck.

What is a wood-fired Northern Lights Ofuro Hot Tub?

The beautiful Northern Lights Ofuro Soaking Tubs have their origin in ancient Japan where hot water chin-soaking bathing was (and still is) more of a sensual and spiritual ritual than just taking a bath. The outdoor wood-fired cedar wood hot tub promotes a feeling of well-being and harmony with one’s natural surroundings, especially in your own garden.

Manufactured according to the ancient cooperage art of cask and barrel-making, the Northern Lights Ofuro 2-person soaking tub is made from 40mm thick red cedar wood, bound by a stainless steel strap system.

A stainless-steel wood-fired stove is connected to the tub to heat the water six times faster than an electric heater.

Where is the best place to put your Northern Lights wood-fired Ofuro hot tub?

The wood-fired Ofuro hot tub has been designed for outdoors. Placed in your garden or on the patio, the natural wood, the smokestack and the cedar wood covered wood-stove will enhance the natural feel and appearance.

Place the hot tub in your favourite spot on a level floor on the patio, deck or balcony; or on a paved or gravelled area in the garden where it has a solid footing and will not wobble or tilt. How about on a balcony or other raised spot with a superb view? Just consider easy and safe draining of the tub before assembling. Once assembled, no further installation is required.

Empty, the hot tub and heating oven can easily be transported to your holiday home or can be moved to another spot, especially with seasonal changes.

Why is the 2-person wood-fired Ofuro soaking tub so deep?

The extra depth is what makes the Northern Lights Ofuro tub so popular. Seated, the water will give two persons a full-body soak and you will experience a delightful floating effect to fully enjoy the benefits of a hot therapeutic spa.

A secondary closed-combustion chamber ensures clean-burning and fuel efficiency because the gases and combustible particles are burnt a second time.

A heavy stainless-steel door gives easy access to make the fire and the ashtray can easily be removed.

How does the wood-fired oven heat the water in the Northern Lights Ofuro hot tub?

A unique stainless-steel wood-fired heater circulates the water in a noiseless process known as thermo-siphoning, whereby the hot water flows in at the top of the tub and the cold water at the bottom flows into the heating tank. This process is repeated until all the water in the tub has been heated and the fire is turned off.

What makes the Northern Lights Ofuro 2-seater exclusive?

Crafted from the finest solid Western Red Cedar Wood, the Ofuro Hot Tub is constructed differently, and looks different, from any other hot tub or spa you have ever seen.

The unique oval barrel-shaped Ofuro is deep and spacious enough for two people to stretch out. Seated upright, the water comes all the way up to your chin and the extra depth causes buoyancy in the hot water, making you feel like you are floating away from all stresses and problems.

The thick cedar wood timber ensures that the water warms up quickly and retains the heat for much longer.

Western Red Cedar wood is naturally resilient to decay and the wood itself contains anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, actively killing bacteria and fungi. The pleasant aromatic flavour enhances the natural therapy of bathing in an Orufo Hot Tub!

What accessories are available for the Northern Lights Ofuro 2-person hot tub?

Firehouse keeps an entire range of useful accessories to enhance your Ofuro Hot Tub for even greater comfort and enjoyment. With cedar wood stairs, you can easily and safely access your hot tub. Cedar shelving not only makes the hot tub look more attractive and finished-off, it is also a handy place to put you refreshing drinks or other things you may require while relaxing in your hot tub.

A specially designed cover will protect your investment, keep dirt out, and keep the heat in if you want to leave the tub for a short while and return later.

Can I Assemble and install the Northern Lights Ofuro 2-person hot tub myself?

Firehouse supplies the hot tub as a package that you can easily assemble yourself, following the easy and complete instruction manual. If you require any advice or assistance, our specialist team is available to coach you through the process.
