   There are three of them in constant use, within a few miles of my place.

   I have seen them. I have seen them in the burning stage, and I have seen the results. They are clean, and very reliable. The people who own them have nothing but good to say about them.

   Two of the three owners used to have propane fired incinerating toilets. Not only were they very expensive to run, they were prone to lots of problems. And they were not fun to work on when they had problems.

   Incinolet is the only incinerating toilet that I have ever heard only good things about.

   I very dearly hope to have one someday. They are quite expensive. If I could find a used one that I could buy for payments, I would.

   Thanks, Luka

   I'm thinking of putting one in my travel trailer.  I'm sick and tired of A) the marine toilet that I have to hose/wipe out after each use and B) the black water tank.  Seems to me it'd be well worth the bucks.

   Here's a good question I thought of -- at lunch -- today.  This thing incinerates waste by dropping the waste into an electrically heated (1800 watt) chamber....vents to the outside.  What exactly does a turd on a hotplate smell like??  Any comments here Luka?  Odorless when cooking?

   I have no idea what it smells like.

   It is vented to the outside. You don't smell it.

   There is a little fan in some, that actualy makes a forced draft.

   Turd on a hot plate.  I don't know why that made me laugh so.

   I wonder if a rat could get in there?

   No no Rez.

   These things have the "combustion chamber" insulated from the rest of the machine.

   You can't cook breakfast on it while you are burning away the morning dump.

    Luka'

    Boy, diggin thru the archives huh?

    I barely remember that post. I think you had said something sometime about eco toilets, upflush, or something right around the time I saw that book and thought I'd mention it to you. That's about it. Hope you got your plumbing centered in ok.   -rez

    Not digging in the archives.

    Since about a month after the changeover to Prospero, I have been checking "new messages to me". Either every day, or every other day.

    This post never came up.

    This morning, the new messages to me feature had a javascript error. It wouldn't work at all. Then, later when I came back in, there was a whole slew of messages that I had never seen before. Including this one.

    At first I thought that a whole buch of people had gotten together and decided to flood me with responses. LOL Then I figured out that many of them were old.

    For a long time that feature has worked kind of wonky. It will show a bunch of posts that have absolutely nothing to do with me. No rhyme or reason to it. But I was at least getting some of the posts that WERE to me. I just didn't know how many were being missed.

    You still haven't told me what book you are talking about.

    Another Roar! I remember now. I had sent a scan of the book with the post. And now it ain't there. And I'm no good for it since I'm a thousand miles from the house, a bit to far to run down and get it. It'll have to be later.

    Peace

    You're not the only one with the problem.

    I emailed Brian about it, so hopefully it will be fixed soon. The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. [General Omar Bradley]

   Brings back memories of Southeast Asia.  We had the prototypes, cut off 55gal drums in outhouses.  Local hires pulled them out and incinerated with diesel or jet fuel.  Stench really rough on hung-over mornings.  Even the toughest warrior got queasy on occasion.
