My new 140 gallon pressure cooker, around 529 liters * 2
    #22149497 - 08/26/15 11:29 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hey there, this is my huge ass custom pressure cooker ,
Cost in parts and labor $1,000.

1: 2 pressure regulators through Amazon
2. 140 gallon propane tank.
3. Man way door from muller made in USA .
4: pressure weight and stem it sits on are for an AA pressure cooker.

I made this because after watching RR''s steam 55 gallon drum  method takes 8 hours to serialize, that I needed something a lot faster and with more room. I also needed something that would not use so much propane. This set up takes 1:30 mins to reach 15 psi  and takes 1/4 of a tank per run.
This unit holds 15-20 12 lb sawdust bags.

Hey thanks . I have 80 bags of shiitake sawdust blocks to make .I will get new pics up and explain more. I listed the parts. Hardest part was the door so  I farmed it out to a pro welder. So far 3 runs with zero issues. Getting less nervous around it each time lol

I know this might seem like a stupid question, but have you tried filling it with jars to see how many quarts it can hold?

no jars yet. Just grow bags. Grow bags are more economical, no matter what your growing IMO. That being said I could find out tomorrow and report back on that. Good question.

If one of you decide to do this get a muller door or one like it. This door is rated at 50 psi . Cheap doors are not pressure rated so don't skimp on the door. That's for safety.

Like what? Is there anything specific ?


For the door I orderd from a company called muller they make man way doors.  Look for ones with pressure ratings. Sometimes there in bars, others pounds .

Are you a *whatever professional specializes in shit like this* by trade or just a handyman? I'd be terrified of killing myself with this thing.

Very cool. Massive overkill for your average hobbiest but certainly worth its weight in gold for a comercial operation. Very nice :rockon:

No , I am not a professional , I just needed production and efficiency.

I wanted to do 80 12 pound bags of shiitake.. I didn't like any of the other methods of steam or using my AA pressure cooker. Time is money
I needed a bigger boat and something to handle 15 psi  so I acquired parts from my aa pressure cooker for the parts and with some help put this thing together.

This is cool and would definitely suit the needs of this cultivator.  Where did you source the 140 gallon propane tank?  Also, would you mind getting a close up pic of how the double regulators are set up??

Tank was $300 off craigslist, I had to take the valve off the top and fill with water before any work could be started.
