Hey bro,

Nice write up!  And pics!  Thanks for that :smile:

Have you seen the bigger version at mycotopia? HERE.  There's a PDF with pics and directions included. 

If I were you I would add a SUPER useful tool (IMO): when I make bulk pasteurizer out of a 55 gallon drum I am going to use a Ranco ETC-111000 Thermostat.  The Ranco will turn off the steamer once the core bulk temp is at a preset temp, say 150F.  And if the temp drops below the set point the Ranco will turn on the steamer...that way you don't have too watch the pasteurization, it's automatic!!! :smile:

Here's two quotes which explain it well:

I've mentioned this before many times, so don't get annoyed with me. The Ranco ETC-111000 is awesome for bulk substrate pasteurization. You simply put the probe in a clean jar sealed with RTV and then you put the jar in the center of the material. The Ranco will shut down when the temperature it's set to gets to that in the core of the material. And will turn on the steamer once it gets below that temperature. It's awesome! I can show mine if you want me to. Sort of anyways.

All you do is cut the male plug off of the Wagner and cut the female plug off of an extension cord the length you'll want to use. It will power the Ranco and the Ranco will power and control the Wagner. You'll need a 4" single length of wire also, because you'll need it as shown here. The unit comes with easy instructions for installation. But if you have a hard time, just copy what i've done here while looking at the directions as well. Really easy.

Here's what I was talking about while referring to the probe in jar thing. Excess humidity can and will damage the probe, so do put it in a sealed jar. A little humidity won't kill you.

I did read that one before I made the unit. The unit maintains the temp well and really does not need the thermostat, it was an added cost and IMO was not needed for this design.

Thanks though
