Why Choose the Lobo Wood Fired Hot Tub?
Versatile Size
Featuring a smart 1.5m round footprint, the Lobo strikes the ultimate balance, providing ample room for up to 3 to 4 adults to soak comfortably without dominating your entire patio or garden layout.
Rapid Heating
Heats approximately 945L of water to soaking temperature in around 2 hours depending on conditions.
Lifetime Liner
Unlike traditional all-wood hot tubs that leak, mold, and harbor bacteria, or cheap plastic spas that crack under the sun, the Lobo features a hygienic, 304 stainless steel core backed by a 50-year structural warranty.
Ready Assembled
No electricians, no complex plumbing layouts, and no building delays. The Lobo arrives completely built. Just place it on a level surface, fill it up with a standard garden hose, light the furnace, and enjoy.
Certified Cedar
Wrapped in premium, certified Spiced Cedar timber panels, the Lobo naturally resists rot, insects, and harsh weather while filling your backyard with that classic, therapeutic wood-fired aroma.
Thermal Insulation
Wrapped in a premium high-density perimeter barrier, the Lobo locks thermal energy inside the vessel. This means the water stays hotter for significantly longer, slashing your wood consumption and water preparation times.
Quick Drain
Forget complex chemical balancing acts. The Lobo features a commercial-grade, full-vessel quick drain valve. Emptying and refreshing your water is as fast, clean, and effortless as draining a standard household bathtub.
Built-In Addons
The Lobo's rigid perimeter structure is pre-engineered to seamlessly host our custom-fit steps, matching timber cup holders, and premium insulated covers—allowing you to build your ultimate backyard sanctuary.
Key features
Every Lobo is delivered with a complete ownership set:
• Insulated thermal cover
• Matching timber stairs
• Timber paddle
• Clip-on cup holder
Experience true, authentic bathing untethered by complex electrical conduits, cords, or rising electricity tariffs. Operating as a completely self-sustaining off grid hot tub, the Lobo offers an unplugged sanctuary powered solely by the natural crackle and ambient glow of a timber flame.
Most owners reach soaking temperature in approximately 2 hours depending on conditions.
Structural 304 Stainless Steel Core: Lobo is built around a non-porous 304 stainless steel core that is easy to clean and does not rely on timber as the water-holding structure. It is designed for long-term outdoor use and supported by Andes’ 50-year structural warranty.
Certified Cedar Cladding: Finished in premium certified cedar, Lobo brings warmth and natural texture to the exterior. The cladding is selected for outdoor use and carries a 2-year warranty.
The high-flow stainless steel smoke ventilation system is fitted with an integrated, perforated heat guard. This maximizes airflow and draws smoke high above the water line while protecting against accidental contact.
Living with a wood‑fired Lobo
The Lobo is the tub you light when you want dedicated room to share the experience. It is large enough for family and friends, yet compact enough to maintain the simple charm and quiet beauty of a traditional wood fire.
- Shared Conversation: With no noisy electronic pumps or vibrating jets humming in the background, genuine conversation and relaxation take center stage.
- The Shared Ritual: Gathering timber, tending the hearth, and watching steam rise over the water shifts hot tub ownership from a mechanical chore into a rewarding outdoor experience.
- Simple, Electricity-Free Heating: Lobo uses a wood-fired internal furnace and requires no mains electricity for heating. Firewood, weather, water temperature and how often you use the tub shape the experience.
Design inspired by Lobo
Named after the lobo, this model reflects balance, adaptability, and quiet confidence.
Positioned between Zorro and Huemul, Lobo balances space, efficiency, and everyday usability within the wood-fired range.
Made for Gathering
Made for slower evenings, shared conversations, and a more grounded way to gather outdoors.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How long does installation take?
Lobo arrives fully assembled. Once it is positioned on a suitable prepared foundation, setup is straightforward. Delivery access, chimney fitting and any site-specific work should be planned before arrival.
How much firewood does Lobo use?
Typically a few armfuls for a full heat-up, depending on wood type, weather, and starting water temperature. Hard, dry hardwood reduces usage significantly.
How many people does Lobo seat?
Lobo seats 3 adults comfortably. It is designed for couples, small families and shared outdoor soaking without moving to a large-format tub.
Does Lobo require electricity?
No. Lobo does not require mains electricity for heating. Optional accessories may have separate power requirements.
How is Lobo heated?
Lobo uses the Andes internal furnace for direct wood-fired heating. In favourable conditions, it can reach soaking temperature in approximately 2 hours; actual heat-up time varies with water temperature, weather and firewood quality.
Does Lobo arrive assembled?
Yes. Lobo arrives fully assembled, so setup is simple once it is positioned and filled.
