As above, it's insulated and operates at temps between 40-60deg c.
Can put your weeds and food scraps in as its pretty inaccessible to vermin and kills most of the nasty pathogens and seeds. Spits out some useable goodness pretty quickly. I think DJ composts his dog poo in his.

I do, and it's wonderful!
I've been at it for 7 months now (family of 4). Took out the bottom 100l yesterday to create a bed in the front garden. Probably had a good 400l out of it so far.
