Ring of fire?

Actually, there's no bloody way I'd have that on my boat. Look at that stainless bowl of ash in front of The Throne. It looks exactly the same as my Cobb after use. No doubt SMWBO and I would be doing a post cruise clean up, put stuff back together wrong, and next time out we'd be attempting to grill sausages on the khazi, whilst pooing all over our BBQ....

I reckon it's a good idea - incinerating toilets are not new; commercially available ones have been used in remote sites in Antarctica for many years. I'd certainly be interested, if the price isn't too high.

I reckon it's a perfectly reasonable idea for some situations, but I don't think yachts are one of them.

One of their suggested uses is in cranes, presumably the massive tower cranes where you don't want to have to stop work while the operator climbs all the way down and back up again to visit the loo. Send him up there in the morning with a packed lunch, wire the mains version of this khazi into all the rich chunky volts that must be buzzing around inside a crane, and don't let him down till home time.

My main question is how well it works with pee. I can well imagine drying out and then incinerating a turd, but you can't burn water. And in something like the crane use case, and probably many others, that's going to be its main use as many people will wait to use a proper toilet for a number two. I can only assume it turns it to steam and blows it up the chimney, but that's not really much better than just pissing out the door of the crane (as I'm sure they used to) in the first place. Same thing on your narrowboat in cold weather - you'll have a big streak of condensed piss downwind of the chimney.

All you would get out of the chimney from urine would be steam. Urine is mostly water and that would boil off and be given out as steam, and would condense back as water. The other components would turn to ash.
 
That's why I can't imagine it doesn't stink.

The smell of boiling pee wafting gently across to nearby boats enjoying their morning coffee... lovely.

Steaming turds = quite smelly already
Very hot and burning turds = surely even more smelly + + +
 
I think it seals the "material" into the chamber, already wrapped in the liner - and it falls directly into the centre of a surrounding coil which then heats up to 2kw, reducing the "material" to ash and then venting....I'm not 100% but that's how it appears to work, I assume this has the same effect on the smell as "lighting a candle" after you've had some heavy bathroom time - but micro-managed to happening in a very small space!

But please don't let me discourage you from Barbecued turds....it makes a difference from Fray Bentos pie, at least! ;)
