Abstract
A field sanitation unit provides multiple compartments forming separate sinks. The multiple compartments are heated via a channel located on the underside of the trough, having at one end thereof a firebox. The firebox receives a flame tube from a burner, and supplies hot gases through the firebox to a channel running the length of the trough. By providing baffles within the channel, it is possible to redirect the hot gases laterally, thereby controlling the temperature of each sink.
