An example of an early (1904) incinerating toilet from the Lexikon der gesamten Technik

An incinerating toilet is a type of dry toilet that burns human feces instead of flushing them away with water, as does a flush toilet.^[1] The thermal energy used to incinerate the waste can be derived from electricity, fuel, oil, or liquified petroleum gas. They are relatively inefficient because of the fuel used.^[2]
