they poisened workers and animals with meth, ffs. Why can't the FBI buy an incinerator? Insane they use a shelter from the start for these operations

Cheaper and easier for the FBI to use a shelter's incinerator than to equip every field office with an incinerator that would rarely be used.

You don't need one in every field office; just one in each region that several nearby offices can transport narcotics to for destruction.

I'm guessing that adds too much complexity to the whole chain-of-evidence thing.

'it's too much paperwork' is a pretty weak excuse for exposing the public to narcotics residue. The ashes in those furnaces are often collected and returned to families.
