Obviously vented outside on it's external chimney, but you probably wouldn't want to stand downwind of it! The article mentioned the boat has two toilets, the other one being of the composting variety and that they tend to only use the incinerator toilet for solids. Presumably then the composting toilet is rarely used, as you don't use a composting toilets for liquid (you pee in a bottle and tip it over the side, or in a hegde) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lowe Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 If you really want an incinerated loo I can bring along a couple of kilos of black powder and blow it up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcol Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 You can pee and poo in the loo i think it’s cool, the tiny amount of ash is so tiny whos looked at the videos, and are, are not impressed our marinas not keen on waterless loos so we’ve had to book a time tomorrow to get rid of our poo at the local tip tomorrow. after all the above is their such a thing we can incinerate it like a b/q, but more powerfull of course, like a kiln?? can imagine all boating neighbours, sitting round the the fire pit. ? ?

From what I recall the Cinderella has a separate compartment for liquids, much like a composting toilet. Only the solids are burned.

C'mon this is a discussion forum for weirdo's, don't start taking sensible, or we will be back onto why Marinas have banned boats with composting toilets.

But yeah, their composting toilet is effectively an expensive adapter/pee bottle holder. I wonder in hindsight, having the luxury of two toilets if they wished they'd just installed a pump out and cassette for half the price of their current setup. What would you all advise? If you were actually building a new boat and decided to have two toilets what type would you install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s places eg Liverpool where if you are stopping for a few days/week the extra capacity of a pump out is handy. Cassette/porta potty is handy if you are iced in etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our usage is not just canals and rivers so we have a cassette system, and, a sea toilet (that pumps directly out of the boat) that can be diverted to a small pump-out tank for use in marinas or harbours, or areas where dumping in the sea is not allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
