Chofu Wood Fired Hot Tub Heater for DIY Hot Tubs
The Chofu stove is a precision-built, high-efficiency water heater designed specifically for hot tubs. It circulates water using the principle of “thermosiphon” – the pumping action created by rising hot water, which eliminates the need for a circulating pump or electricity. A double-walled stainless steel water-jacket surrounding the firebox makes the entire firebox a heat-transferring surface. And Chofu’s exclusive high-tech welding process makes it unmatched in durability.
The Chofu wood fired hot tub heater enables you to build your own hot tub using a stock tank, wood tub, bathtub, recycled spa, etc.
It includes: (2) 1¾“Dia. x 10L” stainless circulation pipes, (2) 1¾ Dia. X 9L” neoprene tubes, and (4) clamps for connecting to a tub. Through-wall ports must be selected for the type of tub.
Note – This product is intended for DIYers that plan to get ports, stove pipe, drain assembly, and other parts separately. If you want all of those in one package, check out our Chofu Heater Packages.

Stainless Steel Stove Pipe
24-in. long by 4-in. diameter. 8ft required for maximum efficiency of the Chofu wood-fired heater. For the past 18 years this pipe has been made to our specifications by an Amish sheet metal shop using premium grade 304 stainless steel. We have a low mark-up to encourage people to use this high quality stainless pipe that will last a lifetime. 8ft. of stove pipe is necessary to produce the optimal air-draw through the Chofu firebox for fast, efficient heating. A shorter chimney length will produce a slower heating rate. Stove pipe must be stabilized by our Stainless Steel Support Bracket if more than 8ft. of pipe or a Chimney Cap is used. When using a chimney cap, 10ft. of pipe should be used to compensate for the draft restriction created by the cap. Sheet metal screws for fastening stove pipe connections and a cobalt drill bit (required for drilling stainless steel) are provided when purchasing a Chofu heater. All stove pipe connections must be secured with three sheet metal screws to insure stability. The stove pipe must also be securely fasted to the 4-in. stove pipe adapter; however, the connection between the pipe adapter and the smoke outlet collar does not require sheet metal screws for stability, as this connection has a tight glove-like fit. When the Chofu is not being used, the stove pipe may be lifted off from the smoke outlet collar and stored.

Drain Assembly for Metal Stock Tanks
Necessary to completely drain a metal stock tank because the drain provided is located on the side several inches off the bottom. Our stock tank drain assembly is installed on the bottom near the outside edge of the tank (Preferably the same side as the heater). Includes a stainless steel drain fixture, drain pipe, and brass gate valve with a garden hose fitting. Installation requires cutting a hole in the stock tank bottom using a 2-in. metal cutting hole saw mounted on a drill motor. The stock tank must be elevated at least 4-in. off the ground to provide clearance for the drain pipe, but also to achieve the proper height relationship to a Chofu heater for thermosiphon circulation.

Drain Assembly for Poly Stock Tanks
Necessary to completely drain a plastic stock tank because the drain provided is located on the side rather than the bottom. Our drain assembly is installed directly in the bottom near the outside edge of the tank (preferably on the same side as the heater). The plastic stock tank drain assembly includes a longer drain pipe (required when enclosing the tank with vertical side panels). Drain fixture requires a 2-in. hole to be cut in the bottom of the tank using a hole saw with a drill motor. Note: A plastic stock tank must be elevated at least 4-in. off the ground to provide clearance for the drain pipe. Includes a stainless steel drain fixture, drain pipe, and brass gate valve with a garden hose fitting.

Metal Stem Thermometer
Gives a quick reading after stirring water (non-submersible). Responds in 12 seconds compared to a standard mercury bulb thermometer, which take several minutes.
