Incinerating cat poo

Hello all,
I haven't built my rocket mass heater yet or my next house/greenhouse, currently living in an apt and renting out my house. I was wondering if it's a good or really bad idea to burn Cat poo in my future rocket mass heater? I have composted cat waste in the past, but my neighbors were not overly pleased. I just figured the pee poo smell would be burned up in secondary combustion?

Hello Scott!

Welcome to permies!  


I think my first question would be why would you want to ?  

I have not burned manures in a rocket mass heater.  It does not seem appealing to me.   I think there are lots of things you could burn instead that would be nicer.  I mostly burn sticks and maybe some dry paper or cardboard.


Are you just trying to dispose of the cat poop?    

 

Thank you for the welcome.

I guess I could toss it in the trash, but I feel as if it will just contribute to landfill waste. I also don't want to attract mice or burn my plants or add harmful bacteria. So I figured incinerating it might be a good option prior to composting the ashes.

A lot of folks use the trench method for composting cat poop.

That would be my recommendation.

find an out of the way corner of the yard, dig a trench,  fill with cat poop and cover it up.

You might want to plant some flower there also.

Ok. Sounds like a promising option. Thanks.
