Premium Natural Wood-Burning Hot Tub for Outdoor Soaking – No Electricity Required
The SaunaLife Model S6N is a fully assembled, outdoor wood-burning hot tub designed for up to 7 people. It holds 436 gallons of water and heats from 40°F to 95°F in approximately 1.5–2 hours using a dual-chamber 304 stainless steel stove that reduces wood consumption by up to 50%. Crafted in Northern Europe and finished in natural Thermo-Spruce, the Model S6N requires no electricity, making it ideal for backyard installations, cabins, lake homes, and off-grid properties.
Why Choose a Wood-Burning Hot Tub?
Wood-fired hot tubs offer a traditional, energy-independent soaking experience that electric spas cannot replicate.

- ✔ No electrical connection required
- ✔ Heats 436 gallons in 1.5–2 hours
- ✔ Burns standard firewood (up to 16")

The Model S6N is engineered for homeowners who want efficient heating, lower operating costs, and authentic fire-powered relaxation.
Engineered for Rapid, Efficient Heating
At the heart of the Model S6N is a corrugated 304 stainless steel wood-burning heater featuring dual heat compartments.
How the Dual-Chamber System Works
- Firewood burns in the primary chamber.
- Smoke and heat pass into a secondary chamber.
- Residual heat is captured and transferred to the water.
- Corrugated steel increases heat-transfer surface area.
- A lower water channel draws in cooler water.
- An upper channel redistributes heated water for balanced temperatures.
This system heats up to three times faster than traditional wood-fired tubs while maximizing fuel efficiency.
Thermo-Spruce Construction – Natural Durability
The Model S6N features a 1.65” thick natural Thermo-Spruce surround.
Why Thermo-Spruce?
- Lasts up to 2X longer than cedar
- Superior thermal resistance (higher R-value)
- Increased dimensional stability in wet conditions
- Eco-friendly and sustainably sourced
- Ideal for long-term outdoor water exposure
The natural wood finish offers a timeless look that blends seamlessly into outdoor environments.

Free shipping includes curbside delivery only. The delivery company will not bring your order inside your home or garage, nor will they set it up for you. A lift gate will NOT be available if the sauna crate is longer than 92 inches. Therefore, the customer will need to choose one of the following options to unload the crate:
1. Arrange for equipment to be available for unloading the crate.
2. Use a trailer to pick up the crate at the delivery terminal.
3. Rent a tilt tow truck to pick up the crate at the delivery terminal.
Optional Service:
-If the customer cannot arrange for any of the above options and would like Empire Saunas to arrange for a tilt tow truck, we can provide this service for a fee of $ 950, which will be added to the customer’s account. Please call for assistance.
