    Dig a massive hole, and put yeast, sawdust, other compostable stuff on top of it.

    Maybe torch it after awhile.



    Then again, no body wants a molotov cocktail half full of poo being thrown at them.

    The incenolet isn't like burning **** in a barrel. There is a small amount of odor in the exhaust according to those that have one, but per their website, "Waste is incinerated after each use - keeps bathroom free of odor and flies. Catalyst within the toilet keeps exhaust odor-free."
    There are other types of incinerating toilets out there. This ain't your daddy's turd burner.

    Basically, it uses a non-permeable paper to keep the trap door clean. You push a pedal down, which opens said trap doors. When it is activated, it sucks air across the pile of dookie/paper/etc while heating it from below at 1200* F via an element similar to those found on an electric stove. There is a catalyst inline with the exhaust that is designed to contain the odor, and the blower motor runs during the entire cycle.

    Granted, this isn't better than a lot of of the ways out there (sewers, septic systems, etc), but for a boat, RV, bunker or similar shelter, it could be invaluable.
    Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame filmed an episode where he helped to dismantle, clean and repair a malfunctioning unit similar to what you are describing above.

    True to the show's form, it was nasty.

    Poo soaked Arrows were the first biological warfare weapons if my History Channel education serves me right.

    I think the monkeys beat us to it, by just thowing the poo...I can't belive I finally posted in this thread. :facepalm:

    I think compost is the way to go. Either in an "Offical" composting method or in a hole in the ground. Just do it away from your well, and not in a low spot.
