Indeed you can. It's definitely the simplest way of doing it. However, by pulling the fatty acids out, etc, you can also pull out a lot of other useful products, like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Additionally, a fire will produce a lot of ash and smoke, which both will need to be mitigated in one way or another.
