[RE-wrenches] Chofu Hot Tub Heater

[Tom Duffy]

Hi Allan

Contact me off list as we have three different all stainless steel size wood fired thermosiphon heaters that actually work. The old Chofu was really made for a special charcoal block and didn’t work well on wood

Kind regards

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Chofu Hot Tub Heater

Wrenches,
I have an off grid client who wants a hot tub, and would prefer a propane heater rather than wood. The Chofu appears to be the only unit that doesn't require a circulation pump. He had located this on his own, but told me that "The propane fired, self igniting, hydrosiphoning Chofu is no longer available domestically. Seems the Japanese do not wish to export these to the USA anymore.  I will keep looking as this was the most sane idea for the project and of course cheapest. Chofu listed on Island Hot Tub is currently unavailable. I talked to him a week ago and it sounded like there was no availability for the foreseeable future."

Does anyone have a line on where one can be located before they're all gone? Or a good alternative?

Thanks, Allan
