Can I also use something other than wood to burn?

To heat your hot tub with a wood stove, we recommend using only dry, clean firewood. Preferably start with a light type of wood such as birch or alder to get the fire going.

Use none:

‍
— Waste wood or wood with paint residues
— Impregnated or painted wood
— Particle board or pallet wood
— Wet or damp wood from the garden
— Paper, cardboard or newspapers

This is because these materials cause extra smoke, smell, contamination of the stove and chimney and can release harmful substances such as heavy metals. In addition, the burning of paper and cardboard is prohibited by law because of the amount of particulate matter and fly ash it causes.

Do you still have a smoke problem or are your neighbours complaining? Then you can consider extending the stove tube or a ABCAT smoke filter to install. This significantly reduces smoke and odour.

Would you rather not use wood at all? Then there are also alternatives:

‍
— Electric heating: with a heating element in the hot tub
— Biodiesel: via an external biodiesel heater that is connected to the filter

So you can enjoy a hot tub without having to heat up.
