Okay....this is not my question...my wife's.
She would love a wood fired hot tub but they consume quite a bit of wood to bring them up to temperature.
We already use 5+ cords of wood each year to heat our home.

Can a rocket mass heater be modified to heat a hot tub?
That is the question...

Thanks Miles...I should have done a search first...
It looks like it is doable...
