Willow bank currently uses a solar powered fan to draw air out of the potentially smelly place.  What we want to do is replace the solar and fan with a trombe wall, like the one at Willow Wonka.  This will be on the south face, and will likely feature a glass-covered, blackened cob slap with an exhaust pipe embedded.  The trombe wall will warm, drawing air from inside the seat box up and out the pipe way, way up above the roof.

For this to be successful, we will need to see what makes Willow Wonka's trombe wall effective and replicate that, while incorporating any improvements that seem good and have Paul's approval.  We'll need to establish solar north, design the build, make a plan, and get a materials list to the boots ASAP, and go from there.

Please now, everyone, fix the holes in my understanding.  Plug them right up with your brilliance.  Maybe post some images of each pooper, as well as mockups of design possibilities.
