The Ultimate Fusion of Fire and Flush
Ever found yourself flipping burgers and suddenly needing to go—without wanting to leave the party? Enter the world of BBQ Toilets, a bizarre, tongue-in-cheek design concept that’s part backyard novelty, part conversation starter, and fully unforgettable.
This isn’t just about toilets that sit near the grill.
