The internet... and gardening lit is full of all kinds of ideas...

I once read about using the heat of the compost pile to cook your meals...

So...

I tried burying a water tank in the pile... hooked it up to the hot tap...

Worked for about a week... Then... cold water again.

I use horse poop in the garden all the time... never a smell... nor that much heat.

One time.... I brought chicken poop to a garden in town... the neighbors called up to complain...

So... the extra N value from the chicken poop? Not worth it if you don't already have chickens...
