Turned my compost yesterday and it reached 61C today.
Got excited, but turns out my family don't have the same enthusiasm, so thought I'd share with reddit.
Never been able to make such a pile before, the difference is I just bought a wood chipper which makes very very tiny pieces.

Congratulations!
Now go piss on it.
When I was a kid I used to put apples in the pile of grass cuttings because it was warm and I wanted to see if they would cook. They never did, but I did get warm apples.
Family’s, pah. Now encourage some grass snakes.
Jean Pain was a French man who heated his home and hot water and also made his own bio gas for two years entirely using a single compost heap.
Here are the two original videos. They were filmed on a potato but interesting nevertheless. These have spawned many modern recreations if you search for *Jean Pain compost heating system*.
