    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!

    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.

    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 :)

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!

    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.

    $5000 is definitely not cheap, but to put things in perspective, my dad recently had a septic system professionally installed, at an effectively ideal site (ex: warm dry ground with adequate percolation rates, situated well away from any water features of the property) and it cost around $19,000. It also took around 10 months. The local government arbitrarily squandered ~9 months before approving the permit, even though there was nothing about the site or process that would justify any delay at all (supposedly the local government just had some kind some kind of internal staffing issue, and they were totally not serious about getting things done). Once the permit was approved, the actual digging, bringing in the rock/gravel/tank/pipes, and the actual installation only took around two days. A couple more days were used early in the process for the original government required percolation test/trench, plus the government paperwork. If the government was not involved, the total process could have been completed in only two or three days. Government inefficiency substantially increases the cost of homes sold in the US, while substantially delaying most construction projects. Septic systems sometimes do require maintenance, and they sometimes break down altogether (ex: cracked tanks, clogged leach fields, clogged effluent drain filters, problems with local water contamination, root ingress, etc.). They can also vent nasty fumes. Additionally, many of them are designed to operate anaerobic (ex: bio-digestion without oxygen), which produces large amounts of methane (rather than CO2 and water, which are the normal decomposition products for aerobic [with oxygen] bio-digestion). The methane (CH4) is a much more potent greenhouse gas, compared to CO2. In other words, it is considerably more "environmentally friendly" (at least from a greenhouse gas perspective) to incinerate crap (and in many cases organic garbage in general), than it is to allow it to decompose by anaerobic digestion. Incinerating toilets are therefore technologically a relatively good idea. They do however need to make them much cheaper, and much more readily available. The ~2kWh per day or so energy consumption is non-negligible, but to put things in perspective, the average US household consumes on average around 30 kWh/day in electricity (while the average 2019 US per capita daily energy consumption is around 200-250 kWh of total energy per day, from all fuel and energy sources combined).

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😂😂)..

    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.

    You guys are awesome, this is so interesting. I have a completely different toilet invention that works in a different way, however I love learning about other technologies and you presented this in a very interesting as well as entertaining way. Your off grid lifestyle is one of my favorites on YT and I never miss an episode, instant thumbs up also.

We "city-folk" who do not experience camper life, are just so comfortable in our plumbed bathrooms that we never consider the various details of waste disposal. I was almost reluctant to watchthe video, but you dealt with it very straight-forwardly and practically. Congratulations on a wonderful solution to a complex problem !! Happy holidays to you both !

    20 years ago, I was in a work camp north of the Arctic Circle where we had multiple units. I don't know what was worse when opening the door outside. The -45 degree temps or the smoke wrapping around into your face. I will never forget the smell.

    I worked for over 20 years at facilities all over Alaska where we had these installed, and id have to say, if the smoke was wrapping around into your face when you opend the door, i would suspect they didnt have the exhaust chimney high enough.

    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.

    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.

    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."

    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!

    I admit I was shocked by the cost of that new toilet, but when compared to the cost of a new septic system it begins to make more $ense! You can take your gray water from the kitchen and shower and use it on a garden, lawn or dust abatement etc! No septic system needed! Now please hurry and get that railing on the new deck, I cringe when I see Riley out there walking around, I'd hate to see him do a one and a half gainer off that deck onto the ground below!
