Sorry, way off topic. I asked this question a year or so ago and got some good starting points, but am wondering if any one has any other ideas. I get a very large pile of brush, debris, etc. ground up each fall to use for mulch the following year for our company. The end pile is typically 400-600 cubic yards. This pile will begin to breakdown and heat up to 120-130 degrees from two weeks after it is ground till I pull it apart in the spring. It doesn"t matter what temperature it is outside. In the past, it"s been zero out and 1-2" in the pile it"s over a 100 degrees already. Have any ideas on how to harness all this heat/energy to heat either the shop or home or ? I know it needs to be hot to get the wood to begin to break down and "color" so it looks better in the spring to sell, but it sure seems like there is a lot of heat there to use. Normally the pile is 300" from the shop and farther to the house. I can move it though to make it closer. Just wondering if any one could point me in the direction of some info or if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance.
