Outhouse Odor Control
« on: May 19, 2021, 07:26:16 AM »
I am about to dig an outhouse at the cabin, and wondered if anyone had any tips for controlling odors (preferably natural/organic solutions)?

Keep a bucket of wood ash and a small scoop in the outhouse. After you do your business sprinkle a scoop of ash over it. Has worked for centuries.

Great idea, because that would also have the effect of always keeping the campfire pit cleaned out as well.  Thanks!!

Are there any tricks for keeping one warm in the winter?

I've seen people put very small woodstoves or propane heaters in them. But in the cold most people "just make it quick".
