"This president's foreign policy is the most feckless in American history. It is so naive that he would trust the Iranians. By doing so, he will take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven," Huckabee said.

Can we switch it up and toss Iranians in to the oven?

Everything burns off except calcium, basically. Even the carbon goes up in smoke. There's not much left to be messy.

The crematorium employee in the western German town of Hamelin took a last look at the coffin before pushing it inside the furnace. This was the third coffin he had processed on the morning of January 13, and the body itself weighed over 200 kilograms (440 pounds). Of that, only two kilograms of ashes were supposed to remain after cremation. But, 15 minutes later, flames shot out of the crematorium's 10-meter-high (33-foot-high) stainless-steel chimney, and parts of it began to melt.

Unable to bring the fire under control, the employee called the fire department. Firemen determined that the smoking chimney was glowing at 600 degrees Celsius (1,100 degrees Fahrenheit). They cooled it from the side and used an infrared camera to track the spread of heat through the building. It took four hours to reduce the body in the furnace to ash.

The simple answer is that yes an obese person can be cremated, however, it can prove more complex and costly to cremate someone who is larger than average in size. Cremating an overweight body does require a larger cremation chamber or retort, and this can be one of the first obstacles that a family may face. Not every crematory or funeral home will have a large enough chamber to accommodate an obese body. This can mean that the deceased has to be transferred to a crematory that can handle overweight cases. This can, of course, incur additional transportation costs.
A human body has a body mass index (BMI) which is generally used to measure how much fat we carry. Fat is obviously more combustible, so the higher the fat percentage of a body, the faster and more intensely it will burn. Every pound of lean tissue gives out approximately 1,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units), but every pound of fatty tissue emits 20,000 BTUs. It generally takes about three hours to conduct a standard cremation, but a body with excessive fatty tissue can take much longer to cremate. This poses safety issues for the cremation


equipment, as it must be able to handle the intensity of the heat over a longer period. Ideally the crematory needs to conduct the cremation of an obese person first thing in the morning when their cremation machine is still cold as this helps to prevent overheating. You may remember the terrible news story last year from Austria, where a crematory was set on fire whilst attempting to cremate an obese body!
The crematory operative will also have to be knowledgeable in how to adjust controls to accommodate different timer settings according to the weight of the deceased.

It's exactly like that. If the energy in a morbidly obese person were released instantaneously it would come close to the yield of a MOAB.

If y'all haven't watched Black Mirror you should, I see it being rather entertaining to a large portion of GiP's demographic.

It's on Netflix, give it a watch.
