Yes, it is possible to burn compost. Compost represents the natural decomposition of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclables eaten and excreted by macro- and micro-organisms into dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter. Hot composting temperatures may reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit (73.89 degrees Celsius) and may resemble spontaneous combustion situations under special conditions since organic matter can be electrically conductive.
