Can a composting toilet be electricity free?


If one ran a hot woodstove exhaust pipe through or near a composting toilet with a hand crank, could one get by without using electricity?

Yes, its called an outhouse. But seriously, they do make electricity free composting toilets. Do a google search on SunMar Composting Toilets. There may be a caveat where it might use electricity from a 12v solar cell needed to spin the vent fan but that might be included.

    Composting toilets can be purchased in the uk – often used on boats.
    They do not need electricity.
    You add certain chemicals and then it is clean enough to throw away. Their downside is that they take up a lot of room.

    Dont confuse these with Porta Potties they are not the same.
