INCINERATING TOILETS

There are several models of incinerating toilets. The Incinolet out of Texas is an electric model, which we don't carry.
The Storburn and Use'n Burn Toilets were wonderful, well-built units. Unfortunately, Storburn has gone out of business.
If you already own a Storburn toilet and you are out of masking foam, here are some alternative sources:

Unfortunately, after many years of success, the Storburn company no longer exists.
However, if you would like to learn about what it was, read the information below.

STORBURN
POLLUTION-FREE TOILET
With concern for the environment as a major consideration, STORBURN makes a lot of sense.  STORBURN introduced the "store and burn" incinerator in 1976.  The new model 60K builds upon that concept with a completely new control system that is simpler to operate and a new burner designed for increased combustion efficiency.  The STORBURN system represents a significant contribution towards improving the quality of life by not contributing to environmental damage.

Burns either propane or natural gas.

SANITARY
The STORBURN toilet reduces untreated human waste to sterile mineral ash and harmless water vapor.  Because each incinerator cycle sterilizes the entire storage chamber, destroying all odor causing bacteria, the chamber never requires washing.

GUARANTEED ODORLESS
STORBURN'S patented design completely eliminates the foul odor problems that are characteristic of other systems.  A written guarantee comes with every STORBURN toilet:"Storburn gives off no fould odors -- inside or outside"We know of no comparable system that carries an equivalent written guarantee.

NON-POLLUTING
The STORBURN toilet is self-contained and does not discharge any effluent into the soil or harmful gas into the atmosphere.  All that remains after the incinerator cycle is sterile ash.

EFFICIENT and ECONOMICAL
Under ideal operating condidtions a full 100 lb. propane cyclinder will burn 16 maximum capacity loads (approximately 960 uses).  Because of ambient temperatures, ration of solids to liquid and other variable factors that affect fuel consumption, it is more reasonable to expect 100 lbs. of propane to burn approximately 600 uses.  it is also more efficient to burn full loads rather than partial loads, since it takes virtually the same amount of fuel to preheat the combustion chamber under all load conditions.

EASY TO INSTALL
The STORBURN toilet can be installed in virtually any heated or unheated building or enclosure.  installation is similar to a vented free-standing space heater.

EASY TO MAINTAIN
Since there are no complex electrical controls or moving parts, the STORBURN does not require the services of a trained technician to handle routine maintenance, which consists mainly of cleaning the burner.

LARGE CAPACITY
The STORBURN toilet can be used 20 to 30 times in succession before inceneration is necessary.  It will accommodate the needs of 8 to 10 workers in an average 8 to 10 hour day or about 6 to 8 persons in a cottage or residence where the daily use would be about 16 hours.

SIMPLE TO OPERATE
When ready to incinerate, add 1 packet of anti-foam, close the unit, light the pilot with a built-in igniter and activate the burner.  The burner shuts off automatically when the cycle is complete.

SAFE
The burner cannot be activated while the unit is in use.  The unit myst be closed and locked (much the same as a self-cleaning oven) before incineration can take place.  The cycle takes up to 4-1/2 hours if the chamber is full.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
The cabinet is made of tough non-corroding fiberglass reinforced plastic.  The top deck is heavy guage stainless steel with a heavy duty toilet seat and lid.  The storage/combustion chamber is cast nickel alloy.  The unit comes with a one year warranty.
