Thanks Frank,
I was wondering how the crapper they had wouldn't flush with gray water. My sis had a cabin without running water for a while and that is the way we flushed. I just couldn't figure out how it wasn't working for them.

On a side note, you can gain effectiveness in the pour-flush method if you don't directly hit the chute. It is called building a "head". Pouring off to the side will cause turbulence that will keep the water in the bowl longer, allowing it to fill and create a better siphon on the trap. Pouring directly in causes the trap flow to become turbulent (you dont want this) and it breaks up and pulls a poor siphon (doesn't flush well). good luck.
