Wood-fired cedar hot tubs use a wood-burning heater to warm the water, with no electrical hookup needed for the heater. Backyard America’s current selection includes three Leisurecraft models, each pairing western red cedar with a different tub construction and seating capacity.
These tubs suit cabins, off-grid properties, and backyards in cold northern winters or warm southern climates. Choose an all-natural wooden tub for an off-grid soak, or consider a model with a plastic or aluminum shell. Two models can also be ordered without a heater for cold plunge use.

The Original Cedar Hot Tub
The Original is handcrafted from clear western red cedar and seats up to three people. This all-natural wooden tub has a total height of 42 inches and an inside depth of 38 inches. An aluminum wood-fired heater warms the water for an off-grid soak. Optional accessories are available, giving you choices to discuss when planning your order.
The Evolution Cedar Hot Tub 7′
The Evolution seats up to five and combines a standard white plastic liner with a western red cedar floor and exterior skirting. Its Canadian-made, 3/8-inch HDPE shell is hand-welded and leak-tested before shipping. Order it with an aluminum wood-burning heater or without a heater for cold plunge use. It ships fully assembled and ready to use. Heating takes three to four hours with good quality firewood, and the insulated vinyl cover keeps water warm for up to 12 hours.
The 2 Person Cascade Cold or Hot Tub 3’x7′
Made in Canada by Leisurecraft, the Cascade seats two and holds 233 gallons. Its lightweight aluminum shell is easy to clean, while the red cedar skirting can be left natural or stained. Choose the optional wood heater for hot tub use, or order without it for a cold plunge. It ships as a ready-to-use package, heats in under three hours, and has a drain that connects to a garden hose. Cover options help retain heat and keep water clean.
Choosing a Hot Tub for Your Space
- Capacity: Start with how many people will use the tub together. The Cascade seats two, the Original seats up to three, and the Evolution seats up to five. Match the seating to your usual plans, whether that means a quiet soak for two or room for more people.
- Heat-up time and covers: Plan ahead for a wood-fired soak. The Cascade heats in under three hours; the Evolution takes three to four hours with good quality firewood. Consider the available covers alongside your schedule. The Evolution’s insulated vinyl cover keeps water warm for up to 12 hours.
- Hot or cold use: Decide how you want to use the tub before ordering. The Evolution and Cascade can be ordered without a heater for cold plunge use. If you want wood-fired hot tub use, select the heater option for either model.
- Site, base, and local rules: Review your intended location and base before placing an order. Contact Backyard America to discuss the model and any site questions. Check with your local municipality about rules for wood-burning appliances before choosing a location or making installation plans.
