Even in the year of the sauna (as I've so boldly dubbed 2024 for no reason other than for fun and because it's true) my obsession with wood burning hot tubs continues. The crackle of the fire, scent of the wood, and warmth of the water create a truly harmonious and unique outdoor experience—one only increased by knowing that you (or a loved one) split the wood and built the very fire fueling the experience itself.
Heat therapy (and contrast therapy, wherein you add a cold plunge to your sauna or hot tub circuit) has long been known to have wonderful physical and mental health benefits. And when its experienced in a tub as beautiful as the new soot black offering from British Columbia-based Goodland, all the better.
