Steam it Up This Winter

Dutchtub Portable Hot Tub

 

Dutchtub Portable Hot Tub

Bring the party with you with this lightweight, portable hot tub that lets you enjoy the outdoors anywhere there's space. Two people can carry it, and it fits on any roof rack.

To run this, all you need is some water and wood (about a wheelbarrow full for four hours of enjoyment), and you'll save the large amounts of electricity and chemicals used in typical hot tubs.

It's usually right about this time of year that I start fantasizing about curling up next to a fireplace or taking long soaks in a hot tub, mulled wine in hand. As magical as snow-capped trees and ice-covered lakes are, if I don't have a way to warm up after my winter-wonderland adventures, the cold very quickly loses its appeal. Thanks to Dutchtub, my dreams of taking a dip in steamy hot bubbly are now a reality. No matter where you are—your backyard, a ski cabin in Vermont, the roof deck of your apartment building—Dutchtub can keep you toasty. Floris Schoonderbeek designed the wood-fired, portable hot tub to inspire people to take advantage of outdoor space. It's easily treated and maintained with salt and eco-friendly cleaners, eliminating the need for chlorine and other toxic chemicals used in most hot tubs. And it's light enough for two people to carry (when empty!), making it a highly desirable party accessory. Chip in with friends and stay warm this winter season.—Allison McCarthy
