How does the Chofu compare to inside-the-tub wood heaters?
The exterior Chofu heater has many advantages over submerged inside-the-tub heaters such as the Snorkel Stove. Inside heaters take up up to 1/3 of the interior space of your tub. The Chofu does not. Inside heaters prevent the use of a full coverage insulated top so heat is lost. The Chofu heated tub can use a full coverage thermal blanket and cover so less heat is lost. The water level can be set much lower to eliminate wasted overflow. Unlike interior wood-fired heaters the Chofu introduces no wood debris or ash into the water – helping to keep things nice and clean. The Chofu propane heater adds the convenience of a timer that helps control the temperature.
