I char bones along with other stuff inside an old steel toolbox.
They crumble nicely when done.
When I pressure cook the bones, they crumble,if not on the first pass, then on the second.
Fresh, uncooked bones seem not to be splintery.
I throw rat corpses into the back bed, something, maybe the
chickens, makes them go away.
I think lye will quickly decompose bones, be careful if you try it.
Wood chipper would be my vote for buying an actual machine for the job.
We can be certain it will get the job done, and it has other uses.
