Thus spake Andy Clews unto the assembled multitudes:
I wouldn't have thought a compost heap would get hot enough to smoke :-)

They do give off a lot of water vapour though (not quite steam).

....followed by various postings asserting that heaps CAN catch fire.

Blimey! I stand corrected. I've heard of Spontaneous Human Combustion
but I'd never heard of Spontaneous Compost Combustion before :-)

Thanks :-)
