Finally went and got a "Hotbin"

SNIP

Hi, would any of these hot composters be suitable for a "load and
leave" approach?

I have to do a spot of maintenance in a fortnight, but having only
four days, there would be only time to drop the grass cuttings in and
maybe shred some of the branches that I cut last year.

The compost would then be left for a month or two as it is difficult
to get time to visit the garden.

Would the compost be a fire risk, or would it just "cook" in the
middle and stay green/ brown on the outside.

If unattended composting is possible, what compost bin is the most
suitable for the UK/ Ireland.
