We got a used Chofu Stove, but if you want to source a brand new one, I recommend talking to Frazer from the Island Hot Tub here- https://islandhottub.com/wood-fired-h...
Frazer imported the first Chofu Stove from Japan 37 years ago! Frazer generously sent us a stainless grate after seeing our video. He recognized that the Chofu Stove we have is probably an older one and said the newer ones now have stainless grates.

I live on an acreage, sharing my designs and how I built many various projects. DIY, homesteading, country life, woodworking, gardening, making an off-grid hot tub, living simply.
