Cob: compost temps

[Grei Raven Shadow Walker]

I would also be interested in such data, for years
I've pondered using a compost bin as a heat source
(thermo-syphon hydronic style) for a small
structure...or hot tub maybe.

"When I look into the abyss it stares back at me, but not as the cold 
dark beast you perceive it to be.
When I am gazed upon by the abyss I see the eyes of a mother, a lover, an old friend.
When I look into the warm familiar eyes of the abyss I see that which
needs me as much as I have need.
I remember, I rejoice, I renew!"
