The family's waiting and they don't care what's wrong with the oven.

But still worse than pretty much any other option. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

I would make puns about this pool being hot and all, but they probably wouldn't go over too well. It'd be wheel embarrowsing.

From the submitter:

Wanted hot water, but had unpleasant company downstairs. So I decided to heat it using what I had in my room at the time.

Reminds me of this classic.

Last Thanksgiving we showed you how to cook a turkey using thermite. Now that summer is here (and somehow already coming to an end), it's time for something more BBQ-friendly. DIYer Ben Krasnow gathers his family and friends together for some nice beef kebabs. I'm not entirely sure about sticking glove-less hands near molten iron or ingesting something that's been touching said lava.
