Is my Fruiting Chamber idea ok? (First timer!)

I've done a lot of research, and know a lot of what to do I just wanted to see if I could make a small but effective chamber. I decided to use these tall containers I found at the store as chambers. (1 cake per container, I have 2 cakes) Here is an example of what I plan to do- http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae55/tainted_nightmares/06cff868-6ab8-4d1a-b59c-677b507e4a57.jpg
Instead of water at the bottom I will be using soaked perlite with hot water to make some steam (maybe with some water underneath it too), put some dry perlite on top of the wet. Ill use mesh wire or some other object to keep the cake from getting in the water/perlite mixture. Then ill spray the container with water a few times a day, and also fan it out. My xbox seems to keep the plastic warm, but not hot enough to melt it. I think the hygrometer Im using at the moment is broken, (the one above in the pic), because it only reads about 80%, but the temp is about right at 84 degrees. So, a couple questions.
How can I tell if the humidity is high enough without the Hyg? How can I help it if its too low?
Do you think this will be an effective way to fruit my cakes?
Suggestions?
Advice?
Thank you

Well right now thats the only one i thought of at the moment, I know I will replace the heat source cause using an xbox just sound silly.
I have heard of the shotgun but I dont need a container that big, thats why I was thinking of smaller containers. Shotgun and my idea seem to be similar from what ive read

No your idea is not ok. I think you read some out dated teks. Watch RR videos, the best way to start out. Welcome to the best source of knowledge on the web, The Shroomery!
You dont want heat, this creates contams. Room temp is just fine. You dont need standing water. This breeds contams. 4 inch wet perite in the bottom of a SGFC. You dont need dry perlite. This is useless and will detract from humidity. It will get wet when you mist anyway.
A properly built SGFC is all you need. It doesnt need to be large. It will maintain the proper humidity and FAE.
