problem I see here is the heat will concentrate on the bottom of that and even tho its filled with water, touching the bottom could cause severe burns. cause well, fire heats metal

>>1770779
Can confirm. I used to be a long haired hippy living in natural hot springs. The cold water sinks and freezes your butt. Warm water will rise up and burn your chest. If you do something like this you'll really really want an electric pump to keep the water moving.

Do you even read bro?

>>1770660
That image just looks like a really shit way to waste money

come on anon, if you're going to get drunk, light fires, and fuck in something you want it to atleast not be sketchy and gross -to begin with-

>>1770779
you're fucking dumb dude. go back to rebbit.

>>1770779
Anon, metal is thermally conductive, and so is water; the heat will evenly disperse throughout the tub. As long as you have the tub far enough off of the ground, and the fire low enough, a metal tub, especially one as big as the one in the OP, will be perfectly safe.

>>1770779
Good call anon! I thank you but i also have a "buffer." It's basically a glorified series of redundant pumps for free or cheap regulated by a drunk certified electrician/plumber.

So far all we know for certain is keep that old fucker away from the whiskey and just keep the water moving if it's got fire under it?

>>1770787
I thank you kindly anon. If any of my bullshit attempts at riches work please screenshot this. You all are invited thanks to this anons input

>>1770790
Some?

Let me sum up my real problem.

Now wut

>>1770815
Yup. So how do we do better? Aesthetic is a curse word as well as "muh efficiency."

I want drunk friends, hot water, and 0 people with montezuma's revenge.

Okay. Almost everyone

>>1770831
Good call. However. The first two are a given and the 3rd is me trying for a quick one? With the wife of course

>>1770844
REEEE!

NO U! YOU FUCKING DIPSHIT LOSER HER IS RIGHT...

>>1770858

Sweet. I got beer and a backhoe and a pipeline welder for 2 days though.

My idea is an easy feed wood fire from a half moon party deck. The welders get the stove done. We rig up rando pumps, and we dig what we need before setting shit down and i start confiscating CAT keys...

Slightly different idea, but would it be possible to plumb copper pipes to snake through an outdoor fire, maybe through masonary that heats up, and then feed into a bath? So you just turn on a cold hose tap and it then feeds hot water into your bath?
Then have a drain?
You could have the pipe that feeds it look really cool and plumb a valve on the drain so it's constantly filling and draining.

I'd also be more keen on trying to find a shit condition nice old cast iron claw foot bathtub and restoring it. Maybe get a few. And so you've got your nice outdoor fireplace with seating and shit around it and then a couple people can sit in the bath and you can fill/drain it each time so it's not gross and it's not enormous so it doesn't take forever to fill.

>>1770879
Just make sure you build it in a way so that you can easily clean the exhaust path, and have tight control over the temperature.

>>1770885
That's actually pretty common.
Tub flows from low point to coil in the fire before back to the tub. Heating the coil causes the water to circulate. Can regulate heat by playing with the fire or adding more cold water.

no thanks anon.

Well, yes and no. On one hand the stock image is retarded.

On the other hand me and 15 rednecks just winch up a dumptruck full of water and light it on fire

I think it's actually just cheaper to install a heated pool

>>1770660
uma delecia!

>>1770660
the most important part of the hot tub is the jets and air bubbles. You're just making a giant warm bath.

that tanline irks me

Build a rocket mass heater hot tub.

>>1771437
the heat will make the bucket rust very fast

>>1772738
Gay.

>>1770858
This is what I assumed. Anyway, you could just keep a giant paddle on hand to give it a stir before jumping in. Once you're in you just waft it around with your arms n stuff.

>>1772052
There are 2 women in that tub no?

>>1770660

Pretty sure those buckets are heat treat hardened and it's fucked now as well. They can take some abuse though. I ran a hitachi ex1100 with more welding rods in it than 90% of most welding supply shops.

>american education

never heard of evaporation, as long as there is water in there it wont get hotter than 100°C, aint going to do anything to the steel.

>>1774074
As long as there's a backhoe operator in there, it will stay well below 100°C.

>>1774074
Not how this works, you need temperature gradient to heat the water, so the inside wall of the bucket has to be more than 100C (at least a few degrees to heat the water sensibly fast). You also need temperature gradient for the heat to propagate through the bucket, so the outside needs to be hotter than inside.

>>1773823
Lmao

>>1774074
The water will not get hotter than 100°C, but the steel absolutely will, especially around the heat source.
