Addy, you have turned me into a 'compost geek' THANK YOU!! I went to KZbin and learned how to turn spreadsheets into charts and have since been tracking my pile through a 'new pile' phase and 'since first turn' phase. I am prepared to track 4 turnings. The new pile reached 130° before leveling off and cooling. Knowing exactly when to turn the pile was liberating. Armed with that knowledge I tore apart the pile added new material to include market produce, coffee grounds, grass clippings and kitchen scraps to my pile of leaf shred. I have watched and charted a 54° climb in 4 days and now sit at 134° with no sign of leveling. I am excited to check and chart every morning.

Speed it up with s bucket of lavtobacillus setum, 20:1 water to molasses and uncooked rice first mixed in evenly. Ypu can use rinse water from making rice additionally to continue watering the compost pile after its started. It cuts a 6 month job to 1/3, at least.
