I used to work at a heat treating plant. I actually looked into turning it into a crematorium since we had the furnaces and equipment for moving lots of heavy things.
Most of our furnaces didn't get hot enough to cremate a body. You have to get it over 1200 degrees. The belt furnaces could have done it I guess.
Anyway 1800 degrees is hot. 1800 degrees requires a lot of shielding and I guess you could set something up in a trailer, it would be very obvious. I would expect a lot of discoloration outside in the paint, and soot. Humans are mostly water so you have to deal with the steam.
Lots of steam. There is no way it would be useful in a crisis situation. Thats why FEMA buys so many body bags.
