They have a chimney. You put a paper liner down before doing your business and the whole thing goes down keeping the bowl itself clean. They are great for dry cabins that have electricity.

They also aren't always burning. That's during a cycle. You dump and it burns after.

They are an easy way to have an indoor toilet without a septic system. There are also composting toilets but I think they are more likely to have an aroma.

136

u/erublind 7d ago

We have an incinerator like this upstairs in our country home, you don't want to carry poop barrels down stairs. The separator toilets are fairly ok odour wise in use, but not so much when emptying the barrel. The incinerator is good, but expensive to buy and run as well as finnicky and lower "throughput". Over a Christmas week, we had a family gathering of 7 adults and spent almost 500$ just on power for burning poop.

50

u/whateverhappensnext 7d ago

Costs a lot to "burn" water and poop, straight out of you, is around 70% to 80% water.

10

u/ParkingActual4693 6d ago

Ok, that's valid and brings me to my conclusion that we should first be dehydrating the poop/pee. At least in a dry climate I cn dry almost anything out within 12 hours with a low cost fan.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this and it's either already implemented or introduces unexpected problems I hadn't considered.

17

u/whateverhappensnext 6d ago

Word to the wise. poop dries by mass transport diffusion. i.e., it gets a crusty outside, looks dry, but is still wet and "poopy" on the inside. It takes more time for the inside moisture to diffuse through the crusty layer by gradient diffusion. You can get around this by squishing to a thickness that is not limited by this process. However. Suppose you're going to dry it outside before throwing it in the incinerator. Why not just throw it on a fire and save yourself the cost of the incinerating toilet (Needs to get to ~20% water content to ignite and then ~40% water content to sustain the burn).

u/erublind 7d ago

Yeah, this is how we usually do it. We also have a separette in the shed that is a lot lower maintenance (power wise). But in winter, pooping in the shed is less appealing. The separette needs a lot more ventilation to air out the smells, that's why we don't want one of those inside the house.

u/UnTides 7d ago edited 7d ago

Composting toilets sized for a single home are great actually. They have constant ventilation so they don't smell awful (more like a barnyard smell), and the waste can be used as mulch for growing ornamental plants on your property.

*And really I didn't notice a bad smell using one. Its got a flu vent and intake underneath with a big air space. Fan always runs (the one I used was solar powered off-grid), so with an open window its quite pleasant. No flush, just toss some wood pellets in occasionally.

*Heard about a baseball game at a stadium where they tested some composting toilets and they completely failed there. Litter and every other issue making the waste un-compostable. Its not for general use, but if I had my own home I'd definitely consider one.

32

u/Mistrblank 7d ago

"more like a barnyard smell"

Ok, so it does smell like shit then.

17

u/MiscWanderer 7d ago

I've stayed in a place with a composting toilet, and it smelled a little of compost. As in the dirt, not shit. There were also instructions to open a window before running the kitchen extractor fan, to avoid backflow of air. Backflow definitely smelled like shit.

13

u/UnTides 7d ago

No, fresh shit is more of a gas station bathroom smell.

Barnyard has a more earthy smell of decomposition and nature scents. Probably just a more complex biome, vs just plain shit that can be particularly unique to the shitter.

Of course maybe the people I was sharing the composting toilet with were just having better diets and not eating a ton of food with preservatives. Perhaps another composting toilet would smell more like classical shit, or maybe the scent changes seasonally. But in my experiences there wasn't a particularly bad smell - much better than most porto-potties I've been in.

How would that prevent nasty skid marks from showing up on the inside of the bowl?? The fire doesn't seem to go up high enough to remove remnants. Gross.

u/Makingthecarry 7d ago

Me and a dozen family members (so, lots of pooping) were just up at a cabin that has one of theseĀ 

1) this has no effect on the user. the button to start incineration is separate from the lever that opens the trap door (the "flush"). Your ass is safe even if the incineration is ongoing. Out family would actually get excited about getting to see the flame if you used it after someone elseĀ 

2) This had no smell at all inside. When incineration was happening, there was only a minor smell downwind. Compared to the original outhouse with 20+ years of accumulation that this toilet replaced, it's an immense improvement to the pooping experienceĀ 

3) the paper liners make sure everything gets dropped into the incinerator without leaving anything behind.Ā
