Wood Fire Hot tub?

Hi, I’m debating a normal hot tub vs a wood fire hot tub. Am I crazy?

Backstory: two luxury cabins in the Rocky Mountains, each sleep a max of 16 but 8-10 guests is more common. Yes, i know I’ll be short on seats in any hot tub and that’s okay. Either choice will seat 6ish. The wood route will require less maintenance and attention from a service company. No chemicals, no electricity, refill and clean after each stay, and “environmental friendly”. It’s just a bit niche and not sure what others think. Of the nightly rentals that I’ve found with a wood tub, all reviews are positive. 


Thanks for your thoughts!

This sounds like a Looney Tunes short!

    Thanks, it’s been determined I’m crazy. 


    Naw, you're just a good bidnessman thinking outside the box :-)

    Plus it'll look pretty redneck....

    🤣🤣 Don't take it hard or personal, you're among friends here. It's not a bad idea, it's just going to be difficult to enable as a practical matter. You have to remember that many of your guests are going to be idiots. 
    Don't forget the booze JD, they're going to be drunk idiots, the worst kind....

     I love the tripod; all it's missing is a see-through lid and a big stirring spoon 🤣🤣🤣


     Yeah it's pretty cool. I was wondering how the heck do you get in that thing?


     Maybe they're guests or hors d'oeuvres for someone a little bigger than them, ala the Twilight Zone:

    I was thinking that just look like a big pot of stew. Then again, a sauna would make a great smoker wouldn't it LOL?

    I think these photograph well, but ultimately will lead to an underwhelming experience for many guests who underestimate the work involved.  I'm open to being wrong though....

    Yea. Surprisingly, when you research them at current STR’s, reviews speak very highly of them. I’m sure I’ll incorporate one at some point- there is a lack of expertise right now so people tend to think it’s crazy, as the above thread shows. People want unique experiences and this adds to it.
