Additionally, has anyone tried yet to boil water on the stove and then pour it to the bathtub? How does that work out?

More often than not I bathe instead of shower. And I like my baths piping hot. So, my normal recipe is 1/4th tub cold water. Turn cold water off, full blast the hot for another 2/4ths. While waiting for it to fill (I have a large garden tub) I have two pots of water on the stove. By the time the tub is done, they usually have just reached a slight boil. I pour those bastards in. Wait about ten minutes (Take this time to poop, or shave, or cue up the radio) for the water to become tolerable. (It should pink the skin) Then enter slowly.

Heaven.

TL;DR Boiling water to bathe is fine, just wait for it to cool. To fill a tub with just that, you may want to put a large pot on all four burners. And it takes about twenty minute to boil, remember that.
