Partially out of mere curiosity, partly out of, 'hmm - this info could be good to have, some day...', especially if I need to move into a tiny home, decide to add a tiny guest house, or maybe even convert a box truck into an RV. Plumbing is expensive to add to a new build, or pretty much anything. Fixing plumbing faux pas can be not only expensive, but labor intensive, taking into consideration the potential water damage, mold, etc. So, other than a willow feeder, or other form of composting toilet, which can be space hogs, and/ or require going outdoors in the middle of the night, in bad weather, even if you're horribly sick, none of which are ever going to be an option, for me - I came to incinerator toilets. Buuuut, they have their drawbacks, too! They are PRICEY. They use paper liners. Annual cost* of use can be in excess of $500 - for 1 toilet and only 2 people. A solar powered one is even more expensive, and kinda highly dependent on... well - the sun. No sun, no cremation of defacation.
Then, I got to thinking about rocket stoves, and if there was a rockety-type poop-burner. I don't know if it is even feasible - but, I don't see any reason it wouldn't be... somehow. Ideas? Thoughts? This is - at least for now - just hypothetical. I think. Maybe...
