Okay, this might be a little offbeat for the group, but... [View all]

I've been looking in vain for comprehensible instructions on how to build something that I can't afford to buy retail but want for my national or natural emergency disaster kit.

In no way, shape or form could I be considered a survivalist in the modern popular sense. But many who are also favor various conspiracy theories. Hey, I'm not knocking anyone in this group because I'm sure some are true, and many offer valid speculations. It's just that that's not my personal focus. Back in the days when CD meant Civil Defense, I was heavily involved in that as a practical matter. We've all seen natural disasters aplenty, and they're only going to get worse with climate change.

So I want to ask: does anyone know of a legitimate, honest source of instruction in how a DIY can build an incinerator toilet? I'm well versed in many off grid skills, but I'm getting too old to worry about composting toilets and I retired to a tiny rural town anyway. In event of a natural disaster, they might not raise objections to the composting sort, but I want an incinerator toilet like Incinolet, which zaps everything into a sanitary, light dust which can easily be disposed.

So if anyone knows where I can find out how to build one, that would be a tremendous blessing.

Incidentally, I'm also working on a solar power source that would be able to run the device. I am quite aware that electricity might become a rare commodity in such a situation.
