A method of incinerating toilet waste comprising applying combustion heat in substantially the manner of applying heat to the bottom of a cooking pot under and to and through the bottom of a heat permeable upwardly opening receptacle containing the waste and thereby effecting substantial boiling and incineration of the waste, supplying preheated air into the receptacle, and compelling vapor and products of combustion generated by the combustion heat to pass from the receptacle into a combustion zone under the receptacle and through the combustion heat and into an after burner flue leading from the combustion chamber. An aesthetically desirable and sanitary masking foam may be applied to the surface of accumulated toilet waste in the receptacle prior to boiling and incineration.
