Abstract
Abstract The incinerator of this invention includes an insulated box having heating means operable to cause combustible products deposited therein to be burned. A grid is provided over the heat means to increase burning of the combustible product. Venting exitways having air filters are provided in the housing to retain exhaust air contaminants. The incinerator is operable to destroy by burning a single combustible product at a time deposited therein.
