Design
Design
The Model S4B delivers the same brilliant engineering as the S4N in a bold black finish that makes a statement in any outdoor setting. The self-cleaning corrugated 304 stainless steel stove with secondary combustion chamber captures heat from exhaust smoke, reducing wood consumption by up to 50% compared to traditional wood-fired hot tubs. The stove draws cooler water through a lower channel and redistributes it through an upper channel to equalize temperature throughout the tub, while the air gap between the fiberglass interior lining and the Thermo-Spruce exterior is super-heated to accelerate the warm-up process — producing the fastest heat-up time in its class. The ergonomically shaped dark grey fiberglass interior comfortably accommodates up to 6 bathers, and the 1.65" thick black-painted Thermo-Spruce surround lasts up to twice as long as cedar while delivering a bold, contemporary outdoor aesthetic. Matching Thermo-Spruce steps, an extra-thick steel-reinforced foam cover with dark grey marine-grade vinyl exterior, a polished stainless steel chimney with cap, and an integrated drainage tap are all included. No electricity, no chemicals, no installation required.
