Icecream tub in shotgun terrarium

Helouu. I just want someone to say to me if there's something wrong with the idea or not. It would be much better if there's not.
I have 2 quart jars of colonized wbs jars, and I'm wondering, if it will work, if I would mix the spawn with coir in this:
.. close the lid till full colonization and then put it into sgfc into fruiting.
Perlite in sgfc will maintain a descent humidity, right? I personally don't see problems. Do you?

fill it to the brim to prevent any stale air down below the rim, you'll get fuzzy stems followed by contams if you don't fan enough. if it side pins like a mofo take the whole cake outta the tub (gently) and let em do their thing. i got a huge harvest from a container like that a few months back just from side pins being allowed to grow.

fuck yeah that'll work! i use metal baking pans too in my sgfc. i let them flush out of the container, then for the second round, i "birth" it, just like a cake.
its a great step to take trying to make the transition from SGFC to monotub; it gets you working with grains, and pasteurizing coir and all kinds of shit without taking the leap quite yet.
good thinking brother, everything will turn out in your favor. i mean, in this situation, not in life. other than mushrooms, shit rarely goes in your favor.

Anyway instead of using the icecream tub, I will use this one per 1 quart jar of wbs.
It is 3L.
I'll start preparing the substrate now. I guess it's a good idea to make a little grow log out of this thread.

I'm wondering how should I pasteurize my coir/verm mix. Why I'm asking is that I will need to prepare very little coir if you compare it with the amount needed for a regular monotub.
So.. if I'm going to pasteurize that little amount of coir, is it still good idea to put it in a big basket? I'm thinking that without a smaller basket it won't keep the temperature high enough and I should better use a regular metallic pot or pressure cooker instead of a basket.
Basically, I COULD buy a little basket for that proccess, but if I want to try something different, can I just use the regular pot instead? I could pour a little more water in at first and then put it on a burner over medium heat.
Please comment?

Ive not seen a method of pasteurization involving a basket, can you explain? I fill thick bags with the substrate then zip tie them tightly closed and put in the water weighted down.

flake off coir with a knife, hydrate, mix with verm till desired quarts
load into jars.
foil over jars.
jars in pot.
meat thermometer in center of jar.
when water hits a decent boil turn heat completely off. and at my altitude (flat ass kansas) it usually always gets to about 160 for an hour, can turn heat back on if temp starts to drop

Thank you very much.
To ozzysmygod: I meant something like "My Elementary Coir Tek". I wanted something better. And you two already gave me that. Thanks.
