Efficient & Natural Heating

TimberLine Wood Water Stoves are an alternate way to heat a hot tub or spa! This 100% Aluminum Water Stove produces about 70,000 BTU (20Kw) of heating capacity by only using wood. You can now heat a medium-large hot tub in hours! These are ideal for off grid applications or to supplement spa heating costs.

The TimberLine Wood Water Stove naturally circulates the water using no electricity. Its design is based on Thermosiphon; the hot water rises and exits via the top port. At the same time cold water is drawn into the heat exchanger via the bottom port.

Both the stove body of the Water Heater and the firebox are made with high quality aluminum, making this wood burning hot tub heater easy to move. The heater can be left outside without the danger of rusting or burning-out. A specially designed vented smoke outlet provides secondary combustion of unburned gases, thereby reducing smoke emissions and chimney sparks. The heater comes with 10' of stainless-steel stove pipe and includes a top rain cap as well as an adjustable flue damper for fine control.

The Lightweight Champion of Off-Grid Heating

Experience the primal joy of a wood-fired soak without the hum of electric pumps or the shock of utility bills.

The TimberLine BonFire is a high-performance 100% Aluminum water stove designed for medium-to-large hot tubs. Producing a robust 70,000 BTUs (20kW), it harnesses the superior thermal conductivity of aluminum to transfer heat into your water faster than comparable steel models.

The Aluminum Advantage: Faster Heat, Less Weight

  • Superior Conductivity: Aluminum conducts heat roughly 4x better than stainless steel. This means the fire's energy is absorbed instantly by the water jacket, reducing warm-up times.

  • Ultra-Portable: Weighing only 66 lbs, the BonFire is easy for a single person to carry.3 It is the ideal choice for remote cabins, cottages, or difficult-to-access backyard installations.

  • Rust Free: Aluminum naturally resists rust, ensuring years of outdoor service.

How It Works: "Thermosiphon" (No Pump Required)

This heater is truly electricity-free. It utilizes the laws of physics to circulate water.

  1. Rise: As water inside the double-walled jacket heats up, it becomes lighter and naturally rises out of the top port into your tub.

  2. Draw: This movement creates a vacuum that pulls cold water from the bottom of your tub into the heater.

  3. The Result: A completely silent, continuous loop of heating that requires zero pumps, zero noise, and zero electricity.

Engineered for Efficiency

  • Double-Wall Water Jacket: The firebox is surrounded by a 1.5-inch layer of water, capturing heat from all sides.

  • Baffle Tube Technology: Water-filled tubes run horizontally through the flames. This forces the fire to travel around them (secondary combustion), squeezing every last drop of heat from your wood before smoke exits the chimney.

Design & Specifications

The Wood Water Heater utilizes a sophisticated heat exchange design for efficient water heating. The Aluminum stove body surrounding the firebox is a double-walled water-jacket with a 1.5-inch space between, making the entire firebox (except the front) a heat-transferring surface. Additional heat transfer takes place in a water-filled flat baffle tubes that runs horizontally through the firebox. The baffle deflects the path of the fire, so it gives up more heat into the water jacket before going up the chimney.

Heat is easily controlled by adjusting the air draft control for heating the water and maintaining the water temperature.

The dimensions of the TimberLine BonFire Stoves are 18" wide x 29" long x 19" high with a total weight of 66 lbs. The fire box can accommodate 28" logs. The BonFire Water Stove comes with a 3/4" drain plug to completely drain the internal water jacket preventing any damage that could be caused by freezing. Also included are a temperature gauge to regulate the hot water and a safety pressure valve.

The heating time varies by the amount of water capacity of the tub and the starting temperature of the tub. Generally, the TimberLine BonFire Hot Tub Heater will raise 100 gallons by about 65 degrees F per hour. The unit comes complete with everything you will need including the through ports. Included is a 2 year warranty against Manufacture defects. The TimberLine Wood Water Stove is perfect for cabins or anyone who wants to enjoy a hot tub without any pump noises. Great for the do-it-yourself who wants to build their own hot tub.
