More below zero on the way...

Ohhh would I have loved to own one of those hot tubs when I was 17! The ladies would have LOOOOVED that thing!

That would've been a great addition to my summer keg parties when the parents took off with the camper.

Yeah man! We've had some great parties with that hot tub! Long nights into the small hours with drinks and the BoneYard pumping thru the outdoor speakers

I've actually made trips back and forth to the fridge with bare feet in my birthday suit thru snow and ice to fetch beers. Good thing it's only a 40 foot hike

Unfortunately the chicks don't share my enthusiasm about getting in and out of it when it's 10 degrees outside hahaha.. This summer I want to build a 12x12 room around it so it's more enjoyable to use during the cold months. I sure will miss seeing the night sky from the tub though..

Very nice Lightning,
Outside looking at the stars, a cigar and a brew, that's living!
So how did you hook up your heat exchanger ?

Thanks for the kind words Dave

actually I didn't use a heat exchanger. I spliced into a jet line and ran pex tubing to and from the furnace. Hot tub water circulates thru a stainless steel coil in the fire box of the coal furnace. I have a small zone pump that runs 24/7 to keep the tub warm.
