Today, I made compost lasagna (1 part grass, 2 parts old leaves, etc.) on top of my three month old “cold” compost. It was about 90 F degrees outside, and my pile was 80 F in the middle. About 8 hours later, it is up to 108 F. (Two hours ago it was 100 F.) Is that fast rise or reasonable? Should I be concerned that it might get too warm over night and smoke? In case it helps, the bin is roughly half full, and the detentions are 30" L x 30" W x 32" H (16.7 cubic feet).
