    I have a a multi fuel burner and it is terrific, the heat from that alone warms the entire house. I guess it radiates a lot because the casing is metal. I think it is well worth having one installed.

          At my first school, the toilets were in a feeble uninsulated unheated shed thing at the far end of the playground. It was horrid at any time, but winter was a nightmare.

            In the old days the outside toilets had a door that had a 12" gap at the bottom and the same at the top! That was draughty - but less smelly :rolleyespink: :heehee: At least the seats were made of wood that wasn't as cold as the modern plastic seats!

                    Luxury.

                    We had a hole in the ground, with two planks to sit on.

                        Actually I had a very nice outhouse at the cottage many years ago...hung an old bathroom sink on the wall and ran the drainhose down into the pit. Put a mirror and a hold bar over it and voila, urinal for the fellas...

                        I had the interior painted bright and regularly sprinkled sand in the pit to stifle any fumes..:eeew:
