Thanks Rob,
That sounds very much like what I remember although I recall it as being a bit bigger. It was a separate outbuilding. You were expected to wash first, sponge bath style with small pails with wood handles dipped from the furo, before getting in. The drain was to the bannana patch. Their house had running water but no running hot water. The bath house was where you bathed. It was in upcountry Maui and the air tended to be chilly in the evening which made the furo even nicer. The bottom could have been copper. I jsut assumed it was steel or iron. Being a small outbuilding the fire hazard issue would not be so great. Obviously, I would like to have modern plumbing and shower inside the main house. I just found the wood fired furo in the wood frame outbuilding enjoyable. It might prove to much trouble but I would like to try it. I would probably need a closer look or the assistance of someone knowledgable to be able to get the fire box to work correctly.
