    The smell is a little strange, but you'll get used to it. You won't want to run it while anyone is on the deck. You can use it twice, before you burn. And mine never smelled between times, even with a previous load waiting. You can make your own liner papers. (You'll go through your 1000, sooner than you might expect.) Get some baking parchment paper. Unfold one of the current liners and use it as a pattern. It's as simple as cutting the parchment paper to size, and folding it. Saved me tons of money!

    I've been trying to imagine how you would even construct a functional septic system on the side of a mountain. The incinerating toilet is a simple and brilliant solution for everyday life. You've installed plenty of electrical power. The $5k price tag is a bargain compared to the cost of installing an expensive sewer system. Plus, septic system design in a fractured rocky hillside environment that is frozen in the winter is difficult. Great move!

    So I have spent the last 30 years of my life working in remote and weird locations in the mining industry. Hands down the best toilet solution I have come across was incinerating toilets at an underground mine in Colorado, they were on a timer and we would burn them off between shifts. Worst solution was a composting toilet that liked to boil over and flood the area with raw sewage.

    • @slythee7423
      @slythee7423 Год назад +7

      I think you mean Liquid Nitrogen, formed by freezing Nitrogen gas. Normal nitrogen compound is the most used fertilizer and actually very important for all our food products. Basically they're the same, chemically speaking, but one is bound in a lot of surrounding carbon to keep it in place and the other is pure (but also gas). - Nitrogen itself isnt toxic (78% of our air is nitrogen ;) ) but it has the ability to push away oxigen if you inhale it in huge amounts for example. If the air surrounding you has about 84% Nitrogen you'll feel dizzy and can't think straight anymore, about 94% will kill you in a few breaths. So be careful when working with nitrogen. Normal gardening work is 100% safe, as beforementioned its bound into other carbon stuff like in ashes :)

    • @5467nick
      @5467nick Год назад +5

      There won't be much nitrogen left after temperatures high enough to incinerate things like that. Solid nitrogen compounds aren't stable at those temperatures and will off-gas. There will be oxides of calcium, potassium, and a little sodium, but not much else.

    • @RDChanse
      @RDChanse Год назад +3

    There were at least 2 comments I can recall about putting the waste from your new toilet in the trash. I don't see any reason why you need to use up valuable space in your bin to get rid of the ash. Sprinkle it on the hillside, in the garden or any other "natural" space you can come up with. Speaking from personal experience, if you deposit ash at the base of evergreen trees, especially spruces, you will get the most beautiful green tips on the branches the next growing season. Not sure why. I discovered this by accident when I left a bag of bbq charcoal at the base of a spruce over Winter and got the results the next Spring. I now do that with the ash I clean from my woodstove with the same results.

    Great episode guys--Forget the septic system. You mentioned a year for state approval and it probably has to be “Professionally engineered”. Up on top of a granite dome at 2400’ you might end up with a sand mound which costs around the $20,000.00 (here in Pennsylvania) maybe more. It also has to be installed by a “Certified Septic Contractor”. Then there’s the plumbing (in and out).
    It may be a good idea to put another one in a corner of the shop (behind a curtin😂😂)..

    I thought about the Cinderella for my camper, but the representative at a convention told me it will absolutely not work with an inverter. Apparently they've had enough customers (with undersized inverters) complain that they just don't recommend it. Also it would drain my batteries in like... a poop. The gas powered one would be better, but I wanted to make the camper without gas, so I went with a "composting" toilet.

    Looks like a great improvement. I wish we had a hidden camera video of the hiker who stumbles across your rental toilet and tries to use it ... That ash would seem recyclable, too, like fire place ash. Long as you are not eating lots of "heavy metals" and such. (I remember when I came back from a year in Vietnam, I marveled at using a "real toilet" again, the sound of flushing, the magic of everything just disappearing rather than being burned. Small pleasures of life.)

    Extraordinary! As an Idaho native and former rancher, I can tell you that the ole moon building in the winter is not a great experience. Additionally, in the summer your eyes burn with the explosive methane mix. This could be a great solution for most anybody, regardless of on or off grid - I am sure as technology evolves and demand increases these little gems will be in more homes, RV's, and maybe even rest stops?
    Great work folks!

    Love your electric toilet but I am concerned the snow slide from the roof may rip the stack off. Possibly you could make a little metal roof above the stack supported from the deck. Keep on kepping on Riely and Courtney.

    On my off grid property I built a compost toilet, it only smells of pine from the saw dust I use. My solar isn't large enough for me to blow 2kw every time I take a dump. Also in Sweden where I live my winter solar time is rather minimal, but I make enough to get by.
    I'd also just feed ya trees outside with the ash and not send it to land fill.
    But enjoying ya adventures and look avidly forward to every episode. All the best mates.

      2kw/h. So if it works for 30 mins it's 1kw total, plus you only run it once a day, you can take up to 2-3 average dumps without burning.

  • @timruden8885

    Riley when you stood beside the port-a-potty at the end of your driveway I was expecting you to say something like this to the potty. "I know it's kind of crappy leaving you here, but I have to drop you off, and I can't wait any longer. You were number one for me, but you've been replaced and now you're number two. Thanks for the memories."

  • @noyopacific

    We put an Incinolet brand incinerating toilet in our cabin several years ago and have gone through almost 2,000 liners so have some experience. We also vented the exhaust through the roof (a non-standard vent location for the Incinolet) and rarely smell the smoke. We got the Incinolet from a friend who had in in a guest cabin. It may be that the catalyst which is supposed to take care of the smoke odor needs to be replaced but it is a very minor issue for us. One visitor who was standing on the hill behind the cabin once asked if someone had been smoking a good cigar.😂 Visitors are quite interested in it and ask lots of questions. The main issue for being able to use it is probably the power consumption. We are grid connected so it isnt an issue for us but I imagine that 2K +/- watt hours per use is very practical for most off grid applications. It has worked well for us.

    I never thought I would see a crappy video from these two. When you're wrong, you're wrong.
    I woke up today with cramps, rolling sweat, nausea and disorientation very similar to food poisoning. Luckily I have a waste paper basket right next to the commode. I can't stress enough how fortuitous that was.
    Seems pretty serendipitous to come back to bed after that and see this video! This has been the best crappy video ever!

      They are available for RVs, but require a lot of power so you have to make sure you have a 50 amp connection. They're a little expensive. If you use RV parks they will have permanent solutions installed, all you do is hook up your pipes, and pull the handle.
