we bought 4 of them at a farm auction years ago. glad we did when we did, havnt seen any since, all 4 for $10!! each one slighty varied from the next; home made or mass production, who knows!
we did retrofit new smoke stacks out of 6 inch pipe so they're all the same size(slip fit), had to rebuild one thimble and made two new lids but it wouldnt take much to weld your own...these are cast iron...it would take some heavy steel to sink the barrel in 2 feet of water..
@99cachorro find yourself an old stainless steel bulk tank...much better insulation, built-in drain...ours is about 200 gal...for 2 people it's perfect..3 is cozy and 4, well, you better be really good friends! lol!
too cool. thats think outside the box. i mean tub. well i guess inside the tub. you know what i mean,,LOL

Did you build that heater yourself or was it a family heirloom?

pure genious! I'd like one for a stock tank hot-tub. I cant afford one of those fiberglass setups!
