Rani Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I only ask one thing..... Video tape your speech to your landlord when you blow out all the wiring by short circuiting and burning up the toaster....... The guy who lives downstairs from me did something not that different from what you're suggesting and I missed him explaining it to both the fire department and the landlord. Though I did hear my landlords view of the several thousand dollars it took to rewire the entire apartment.'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 i kinda wanna go buy a shitty toaster with a high wattage. and dont some surge protectors also work the other way? i.e. wont trip the breaker if the toaster messes up?hmmm... now i'm thinking about the shisha heater things again and how a toaster might be modified...

ih303 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 My thoughts exactly, Eternal.See, my current toaster actually has two aluminum plates which come together and act to suspend the bread between the elements. I also think this protects from getting electrocuted if tongs or a fork is used. The problem is, it's an expensive toaster and I don't want to use it for this experiment. I think I will hit some garage sales this weekend to try to find a junky toaster to use.I am concerned about the heat issue. Coals will heat up much hotter than a piece of toast. And I'm not worried about shorting out my wiring. That's what breakers are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might get hot enough, but it will take forever. Hmmm... I should try lighting coals on a Source 4 (theater lighting instrument). They use a 750wt lamp that instantly gets too hot to touch. If I could smoke at the theater, this is totally how I would light coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
