There's no reason to have an incinerator used for that. I've made incinerators before for automatic farms, which destroys items when I don't want to collect them and prevents lag, but I've never wanted a manual incinerator. There are no items that are useless. There's nothing that I would want to throw out.
Trust me they are usefull. I built one to throw my arrows in, i have too many arrows
Come back when you have a double chest full of wheat seeds and not one but two double chests full of zombie meat. There's really no reason to hoard stuff that's so easily renewable. Just the other day I threw out half my zombie meat and all but one stack of seeds. What am I ever gonna need 6400 rotten flesh and 3200 wheat seeds?
I did keep one chest of zombie meat for dog food, but I don't really even need that since I haven't taken dogs with me since the last time I went hunting for ender pearls. Now I've slaughtered all but two or three of them and they just sit around my yard. The seeds, every time I harvest I get more than enough to replant, so I just throw out the extras.
As for disposal, though, I just chuck **** into my well and wait for it to despawn. I'd feel pretty stupid if I accidentally threw something valuable into a lava pit instead of my garbage and couldn't just fish it back out.

You have never heard of an emergency stop button have you?
I like to place an extended piston to cover my lava hole.
The I chuck my items into the disposal and with a push of a button I flush the items into the lava.
Doing it this way you can always retrieve items that you didn't mean to throw away before they hit the lava.
PS, I think it's a design flaw in minecraft that you sometimes have the need to throw away items. Everything should have a use. Zombieflesh should be usable as fertilizer just like the bone meal, seeds should be used to feed the chickens in order to breed them, and so on. There really shouldn't be any item that will be generated to a large number than you can use. Seeds are the worst here as every harvested wheat gives you 0-1 seed more than you need to replant. With a large farm this quickly adds up to chests full of this useless item.
I prefer to just have a hole to let things despawn so that if I accidentally throw the wrong item I can retrieve it.
Dude, what if you just dumped like 4 chest fulls of cobblestone and then a diamond on accident? You probably will have to find another diposal method before you will ever be able to get your diamond back. Plus, it will probably take you more than 5 minutes to pitch all that trash somewhere else before you can get the other stuff. Or you could just fall in the hole and either die if its deep, or just have your inventory full of junk.

The discussion in this topic has opened my mind to item disposal methods. Though I've never burnt something I otherwise meant to keep, I think I'll be leaning away from pure lava pits to sizzle my stuff.
I prefer to dig a channel 15 blocks out and 2 blocks down, then going out one more and sticking lava at the end. The water stops just at the right place to drop items into it. Then I go back and fill in the top layer, making the channel one block high. I cap the end off with a trapdoor. Voila. Completely safe item omnomnomer.
Here is my design. You flick the lever, the trapdoor opens, you drop your items in, flick the lever again, which closes the trapdoor. When the trapdoor closes the water flows and carries the items into the lava pit.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
