[QUOTE="kamloops, post: 4952040, member: 73270"] ive got a heap of 40+ ton of woodchip. We dried it a couple of weeks ago and then moved it into store. It’s now heating up and steaming at the peaks and wet on the peaks. I’ve seen it before with chip we have bought in but I’m concerned of a fire risk. Could it self combust? It’s pretty warm if you dig your arm into the heap but not so warm it’s unbearable to keep it there? I’ve taken some advice and he’s said that although the chip feels dry to look at and touch the wood chips will still have some moisture inside... hence the composting effect. [/QUOTE]
