Our Take
The Salem is Almost Heaven's smallest barrel. 6x4 feet, two opposing benches, a 6 kW heater that pushes past 190°F. Ball-and-socket lumber locks together without glue. Tempered glass door, stainless steel hardware, LED interior light. You can run it dry or throw water on the rocks. Fits a deck, a patio, a backyard corner. Two people comfortably, three if you know each other well.
