Collect it all in cardboard boxes in a boat and give it a Viking funeral. Job sorted.
That "stove" reads like there is some upper chamber or shelf to dry the turds before burning them. So maybe a wire rack to hold the turds over the flames in an ordinary stove might work.
Hot loading might be an issue though, or not, save going for a sack n crack wax.

If the stove is burning hard the turds would soon burn Jim, mine however are to valuable and are saved up to go on the compost heap at the allotment

I've experimented with lots of different solutions and feel it necessary to mention that the transport of the turds to the fire is slightly complex. People generally wish to dispose of the body waste with less hassle. Direct shit-on-top fire toilets are, for obvious reasons, complex in terms of arse insulation and protection of vital body components from excess heat. I believe, however, that one could arrange a shit on top fire toilet if there was provision for a blast of cold air across the top for arse cooling. A grid as suggested by Jim does seem sensible as dumping wet material onto fires is frowned upon.

I'm thinking of passers-by walking down the towpath when a fresh load is put on the stove

Hydrogen fuel exponents claim that ammonia is the best way to transport hydrogen, suggesting that urine should be included in the burn. Probably best to pee in a bucket and let it evaporate to concentrate the NH3. Perhaps a series of barrel containers stored on the aft deck, each with a different vintage of piss, and all available for use as a seat when required. Probably most appropriate on a cruiser stern where a row of pee barrels could make a nice feature. All we need to do now is to investigate the best diet for producing NH3. As long as it doesn't involve eating bran (memories of a tortured childhood), or aubergines, I'm game to try.

My compressed air GPS guided instant freeze mortar toilet "out of shite out of mind" could be rerouted via suitable trunking to deliver the product, unfrozen if required, to an intermediate valved presentation chute built into the flue. That could work for initial drying.

There is an electric one the Cinderella. ETA actually that might be a gas one.. £3500 seems a little bit expensive for a toilet but some people have money (and other things) to burn Propane burning www.cinderellaeco.com/gb-enI think there is an electric one as well but it must be quite high kilowatt. I wonder if it would be possible to have a slow roast/smouldering type for when engine is running.

If you could exercise the right control, would it be possible to combine fart lighting with solids disposal?
