COVE VALLEY WOOD FIRED TUB

Instructions and Disclaimer

To use the bath you must follow the instructions set out below. 

"Hikki Bohemen Wood-Fired Tub – Safe Use Instructions"

1. Fill Before Lighting
- Fill the tub with water at least 10 cm (4 in) above the stove’s circulation pipes, and no more than just below the inner chimney pipe. 
- Never light a fire when the tub isn’t full - running the stove dry can warp or melt parts. 

2. Starting the Fire
- Light birch bark or a natural firestarter close to the circulation pipes - do not use lighter fluid. 
- Keep the stove lid securely closed; opening it too much or burning without a lid can scorch the wooden frame. 

3. Maintaining Temperature
- Add small logs horizontally against stove sides, then larger logs on top. 
- Stir the water with the provided paddle every time you add wood - this helps distribute heat evenly. 
- Monitor water - stop adding logs once it reaches ~36–40 °C and adjust heat by opening/closing the lid, not by overloading wood. 

4. During the Bath
- Do not add more wood once bathing (unless temperature drops).
- Keep stove lid closed to prevent heat damage to the wood. 

5. After Bath & Extinguishing
- Let the fire and embers burn out fully before draining the water. 
- Remove ashes by lifting and shaking out the stove once cooled.
