I read about a method of composting that uses a very large pile enclosed by a circular fence.  It uses a number of PVC pipes during the build and they are removed after that pile is built.  Drip hose is used on a timer to water it daily.  The name of the method has the name of the two people that created it.  I am drawing a complete blank on what this method is called.  Anyone know what I'm talking about that may know the name?

Are you thinking of Jean Pain?

He uses huge round compost heaps to heat water.

Johnson Su Bioreactor, yes that is the one I thought of right off.

For folks that are not familiar with the process, here are some threads:
