Gorgeous Cedar Hot Tubs for Ultimate Relaxation

Snorkel Hot Tubs offers a range of options for wooden hot tubs. Whether you’re dreaming of fire-fed warmth or a gas or electric-heated option, we have something for everyone at Snorkel.

Wood-Fired Hot Tubs

Nothing quite captures the zen of hot tubbing like our wood-fired cedar hot tubs. You are part of the process, building the fire, feeding it, and jumping in and enjoying the unique combination of the cedar aroma, steaming hot water, and a crackling fire. The essence of relaxation for our wood-fired options combines the classic elements of earth (the cedar), water, fire, and air.  

Gas, Electric, and Heat Pump Hot Tubs

Our gas and electric heated tubs offer the convenience of pushing a button to heat up and WiFi connectivity. These are the perfect options for city living or for those who don’t have the time or ability to build and tend a fire to heat their hot tub. While the heating process is left to automation, you still have the luxury of soothing hot water and the wonderful aroma of cedar to relax the cares of the day away.

Hot Tubs Crafted to Perfection, Just for You

While Snorkel Hot Tubs do have unique zen-like qualities, don’t think that Snorkel hot tubbing needs to be solely about quiet contemplation. Most Snorkel hot tub owners use their hot tubs for everyday enjoyment and just plain fun.

Whether it’s a relaxing family conversation, close-quarters synchronized swimming (courtesy Rose City Rain Drops), a recreation of a scene from the old sitcom Petticoat Junction using your pet chihuahuas, or a little target practice from the comfort of your hot tub, Snorkel hot tubbing is about what you consider to be perfection.

Who We Are

Snorkel Hot Tubs got its start in Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1980 when Roger Evans came up with the idea of heating a tub by burning wood as part of a physics class at the University of Alaska. Roger lived outside of town where electricity wasn’t available and wood was plentiful.  

The simplicity and effectiveness of the design attracted friends and neighbors who also wanted one. As a result, Roger (who had moved to Seattle after graduation) and his friend, Blair Howe, set up The Snorkel Stove Company in Seattle and, at the start, ran mail-order ads in a few magazines. They were on the fledgling pro skiing circuit at the time and would return to Seattle on the weekends to respond to mail inquiries and voicemails and take orders. Then, off to the ski racing circuit again.  

Things grew from there. Forty-plus years later, we have greatly expanded the offerings in terms of hot tub sizes and equipment options to heat them and have moved three times to accommodate expansion. Along the way, we changed our name to Snorkel Hot Tubs to reflect the broader nature of the company’s product lines.
