This 5052 aluminum-lined wood-burning hot tub comes with an internal wood stove, so there's no electrician, no gas line, and no added utility bill. Load the stove and you'll be soaking in less than 3 hours.
The tub holds 233 gallons (885 litres) of water inside a fully leak-proof aluminum shell, wrapped in a white cedar exterior skirt that matches every sauna and shower in the Canadian Timber Collection, so it's an easy match if you're building out a full backyard wellness setup. Inside, western red cedar backrests and flooring give you a warm, comfortable seat, with the stove built right into the tub itself.
An optional roll-up cover with support arms mounts to the end of the tub, keeping heat in and debris out between soaks.
Why the Starlight
100% Canadian-made. Every board is sourced in Canada and shaped by Canadian woodworkers. This isn't an imported kit, it's a tub built by people who understand what a Canadian winter does to outdoor wood.
Built for the outdoors, permanently. Canadian cedar naturally resists rot, decay, and insects, so the Starlight is designed to live outside year-round, through harsh winters and hot summers, without the maintenance headaches of lesser woods.
Leak-proof by design. The 5052 aluminum interior shell means no liner to replace and no seams to fail, just a durable, watertight tub built to last.
Sustainably sourced. Lumber comes from certified sustainable mills in British Columbia and Ontario, so you get a product that's as good for the forest as it is for your backyard.
Backed by a real warranty. White cedar builds carry a 3-year warranty; Knotty and Clear Red Cedar builds carry 5 years. Real protection against defects, not fine print.
Straightforward to assemble. Step-by-step videos and PDF guides walk you through setup, so you're not on your own.
Low-maintenance living. Quality craftsmanship means less upkeep. See our Care & Maintenance guide for the simple routine that keeps it looking new for years.

Regular sauna maintenance is an important aspect of owning a sauna and is essential for preserving the longevity of the sauna and ensuring a pleasant and relaxing experience.
General Guidelines
- Use towels on benches to protect the wood and absorb sweat during sauna use.
- Depending on local humidity and weather conditions, the cedar may shrink or expand as it absorbs moisture. The goal is for the cedar to expand into the stainless-steel bands, tightening the sauna staves.
- It is recommended to tighten the bands after the initial installation—typically within the first month—and then check them periodically to ensure they remain secure. Use a ¾” wrench to tighten as needed.
- Ensure that both the air inlet and outlet vents are unobstructed to maintain proper airflow.
- The exterior of your sauna can be stained using any product recommended by your local retailer. LeisureCraft recommends and stocks Livos stain products for this purpose.
- The interior is typically left natural and unfinished, but if you wish to enhance and protect the wood, Meldos Sauna Oil by Livos—also available from Leisurecraft—can be applied to bring out the cedar’s natural color and grain.
After Each use:
- Ventilate the sauna: Open the door after each session to allow fresh air circulation and reduce moisture buildup.
- Wipe surfaces: Use a clean, dry towel to remove sweat and moisture from benches, backrests, and all wooden surfaces.
- Rinse with cold water: This helps close the pores of the wood and promotes faster drying.
