So? I stopped complaining and found something to do with my time.
I'm not sure what the final stop is on this train of thought, but you can hear the ominous music building in the background...
Oh yah? You and Lemmie had the audacity to mock my bomb cyclone experience. You guys'll never live that crap down. Just as a matter of interest, I have a good 7 weeks of winter left. The only thing I have to look forward to this month is a trial date.
Other than that, it's murder and planning the garden.

I think it would be difficult to get a barrel up to a temperature which would do more than char the outer layer of a body. Perhaps a gas fired ceramic kiln would work.
I think the fire would have to burn for a good long while to burn up the body most of the way. Soft tissue at least would be gone.
Then you'd have to wait for the ashes to cool before you put them in your trash bag.
That's a long day we're talking about right there.
The fire in a crematorium will destroy teeth. So, that’s how much heat energy it takes.

The body is the last bit of evidence that matters anymore when someone gets caught for something. It's the camera/cell phone/car that's what gets 'em. Bodies turn up all the time and if there's nothing to tie to them the cases go cold. The more contact a person has, the more likely they are to end up with some bit of DNA or other evidence that gets by the most elaborate plans.

Use the mortar and pestle on the tech, too.

I actually have one for classroom use from William Sonoma. You still have to wait for the ashes to cool (while you're meat tenderizing whatever blood there was) before you mash them up.
That's hours of work we're talking about here. Well, maybe not hours for a gym rat.
