Alright, I've got the bubbles figured out for you:
You need to find yourself another mistress, just make sure that this one is lactose intolerant.
Then feed 'er lotsa buttermilk and plop her in the tub.
Yeah baby, yeah!

300 gallon rubbermaid stock tank at a feedstore... $250.
SCUBA Stove made by the Snorkel Stove of Seattle .....$250 ($700 new)
Stainless heavy gauge stovepipe.... $120
Steel stovepipe flue control.... $5
A quiet, HOT soak in your yard under the stars and NOT having chlorine vapors .... Priceless
P.S. The SCUBA stove is the smaller, near fully submerged version of their stove. (They range around $700 new but you can find them used. I got mine used for $250) The larger Snorkel Stove is WAY too big for this application. My friend and neighbor who showed me this "gear" says he gets about 20 to 25 degrees an hour and says the BEST fuel is dried hard wood carpentry scraps ($60 a truck load). I have tried their tub and it will eventually get way to hot for comfort with a raging fire in there. Just adjust the flue controls and add a little cool water from your hose. It is so nice and quiet. Another cool thing is you use the water a couple times in pretty short order and drain then drain it to water your yard. You can get MUCH cheaper rolled pipe than I used. I highly recommend this tub :thumbup:

All milky flatulence jokes aside, your tub is awesome. No chemicals make it outstanding.
I'd like to copy you, but I think it works better in the rural setting with a well.
I can just imagine what my water bill would be,living in Portland, if I filled that up every week or two

That's how my AK turned out. I agree that the dark gun metal looks sweet. So I left it that way. It has that urban, Mad Max look. :thumbup:

I definitely think that stove can be used to get a large quantity of water to a boil. I don't know about this entire 300 gallons but a large quantity seems likely. Keeping a fire THAT hot in that stove over time would probably cause it to fail well before it's time though. It is crazy how efficient it is. It has two tubes welded in that go all the way through the box for water to circulate through the hottest part of the box...just at the bottom of the pipe. It's all aluminum and is easy to move around after unbolting it.
The stove is mounted 1" off the bottom of the tub to allow circulation around the box and to keep it from melting the tub. It is mounted with improvised brackets, bolting it to the bottom and two bolts through flanges on the back of the stove and through the back of the tub to keep it from floating up or moving around.
It's a worthy caution to throw out to those who have kids... You can literally get the water scalding hot if you aren't paying attention.
Living out here in the country now and being solely on electric, it could prove to be a nice back up for getting some hot water in an emergency. We lose power often out here.
