If you have the money and space:

Danstice once said: How about an immersion water heater?
I thought about making a pasteurization tub out of a horse or cattle trough that was well insulated and had an adjustable heater installed. I planned on installing an immersion heater from an old electric water heater. Then install some sort of pump to slightly agitate the water for even heating of the entire trough. It depends on the size of the trough, but I'm sure you could pasteurize a lot of substrate quickly using something like this. 
or maybe something like this would be useful? :

really any shallow container that could withstand heat and be made somewhat insulated would work. I just say that I'd use a cattle trough because it would be easy to get around here.
Does that help?

I use that setup all winter when it's -35C. It's dropping below -5C here every night for the last two weeks. I'm running the sterilizer every day, and the pasteurizer once or twice a week after the sterilizer gets shut off. I doubt seriously that your winters are more severe than ours, since I've been to your city during January-March many times. I worked several winters on oil drilling rigs north of there, as a matter of fact.
If you want something small scale for indoors, simply use a large pot or PC and pasteurize in jars or bags as shown in the casing prep or manure prep video on my site. I thought you were wanting something bigger. RR

The boiler is on the left, and the pasteurization drum for straw is on the right. All I need to do is slide the propane burner from the boiler to the pasteurization drum. At some point I'll probably get another burner so I can do both at once, but for now, I either sterilize with steam or pasteurize with water. RR
Awesome setup!

My dog is named ozzy, lbs....pounds...hmmm I think you need a bigger cooker if your ramping up production..I dont think a cooker that small would get it up to heat, plus i use like 3 gallons of water so i dont have to refill it. maybe though, can u get 3 gallons of water in it? also you can get whatever hose that corresponds with your pc and change the fitting to the tote to match.

If you want medium scale pasteurization set up you can use multiple counter top roasters with spawn bags. You can set them up through out your house and fit 4 bags of poo per so you should go with 4 units. That will give you 16 bags a day per run. 1 run = 4 tubs per day. 2 runs = 8 tubs.
