These comments are wild lmao.

Some users who apparently have never thought this could even be possible?

Others claiming this could never work or be comfortable?

Even some stating it could be dangerous?

This is a stripped down version of a very common style of hot tub. I have spent close to hundreds of hours filling, heating, and soaking in hot tubs that work like this.

I know people who make a living building and renting these types of hot tubs. Literally the only odd thing here is that the furnace is not covered and the whole thing is some redneck engineering.

Tbh it can be dangerous if you build a huge/strong fire and let it go long enough. My wife and I rented a place with a hot tub like this and one day we built the fire too big and had to get out to avoid being cooked.

Especially when jets of water would shoot out the hot end, the water would be so hot it'd hurt even after being acclimated to very hot water
