A protective device may be attached to a portable incineration apparatus, or used over an open pit. The protection device may be a screen constructed of a stainless steel mesh. The screen is laid across the open top of the portable incineration apparatus or the top of the open pit. The screen forms a seal between the top portion of the walls of the incineration apparatus, or of the pit, and the portion of the screen that engages the top portion of the walls. Thereby, smoke, ashes and-embers are limited, or even prevented from escaping from the incineration apparatus or the open pit.
An animal carcass lift device is especially adapted for use with animal carcass incinerators or cremators found at various agricultural locations. The lift device takes advantage of two rotation points in order to precisely manipulate an attached animal carcass so that it may be conveniently loaded within the incinerator. The lift device includes a power assist mechanism such as a winch to raise or lower the animal carcass.
