I wish my toilet was...

I wish my toilet was half toilet and half coal stove!

After an exhausting internet search, I've come to realize that not one person has ever invented or proposed a toilet heated by coal!

Well why not? If the toilet was made of cast iron, and you designed and calculated the size and placement of a firebox, you should be able to have a nice warm place to sit and read a magazine.

Now, I admit that a fire located so close to a gas producing appliance such as myself could be dangerous.

I'm willing to take a chance that my pants won't spontaneously combust. But who needs all that hair on their legs anyway!

My wife would be the first in line to buy that one. Our bathroom is the coldest room in the house. It feels like they skipped insulation behind the sink & cabinets. Gets damn cold in there.

I've got used to the cold shitter ... but my wife wears a parka around the house in the summer. She'll never get used to that.

Even plumbing a hydronic line from your favorite coal-fired appliance would do the trick. Wonder how my wife would like sitting down after I run some 250° boiler water through it?

If you had a way to cast one of your own, you could cast it with channels in which to hook up to a zone off your boiler to keep it warm.

I think I want to build one!

ya got me by a few seconds Smitty!!

Wrap it in pex and run a separate zone off the boiler!!

You may be onto something here, how about if you simply ran the water through the hot water coil?


--------edit-------

Hold the phone..... a warm toilet would not be very pleasing when praying to the porcelain god!

If it yellow let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down. That mellowing thing wouldn't work out with hot water in the pot. And as thrifty as I am it would kill me to flush all that hot water down the drain. And wouldn't all that heat make a stinky job stinkier? I'll stick with cold water. Just put a fue fue cover on the seat and deem and pass a no splatter zone.

I never trust a guy without hair on his legs.

While you are at it, here is another great idea MAKE IT A DOUBLE, no that already exists.http://thomas-crapper.com/news.asp?ID=35&page=1

What a great name!! Sounds like something I'd name my invention; THE DOUBLE THUNDERBOX!


Yeah could you imagine hammering down beers ... then relieving yourself all night .. every 10 minutes .... and then waking up in the morning to 110° stagnant pee stench??? Or even worse -- getting yur face inches from said stench to toss your cookies!!

My uncle inherited a farm house in NH with a TRIPLE out house! They must of been the envy of all the neighbors. Mighty chilly though. The outhouse was at the end of a very long unheated and drafty attached wood shed so you didn't have to wade through 2 feet of snow to take a dump. (They also had a tunnel to the barn.) You only had to deal with the snow that blew through the cracks. I bet it didn't smell that bad until the spring thaw.

I like the look of the old, high tank toilets from the crapper co. ,the problem is they are very expensive, and the wife would say OUGH . I have one of the pressure assisted toilets the it really thunders, pressure vessel inside a tank, looks normal. Wonder if I could convert a regular tank into a high tank by adding the longer pipe and fittings and the chain for the pull flush ? The oak box tank looks neat too.

all you need is infloor heat - Mine is warm.

but when designed - as someone recently posted - sorry forget how to pat here - the pex needs to stay back from the toilet flange or the wax ring will melt.

Now that would really stink

I here tell of doubles before,but a triple, just hope they were side by side and NOT one on top of the other. Brings new meaning to being on top of the PILE.
