Real simple solution (maby).
Get 2 identical tubs that have the proper length and width, and put one on top of the other. Use the search function for "dub tub"....Make that design into a proper shotgun fruiting chamber. BUT If you can get a taller single tub, it would certainly be better. The problem with smaller SGFC is going to be head room. Small tubs generally are not tall.
I found these have great head space in a small package. I bet you could squeeze 4 cakes into it. http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-Show-Offs-Storage-Container/dp/B008J3Z532
I use these around the "house" for storing things like empty and clean mason jars, and they will fit a total of 6 (3x2)
I am not trying to plug amazon, just that they had the first site with good specs on the measurements.

Right so I can't use two tubs cuz as I said I only have the one and sorry but I'm not paying $60 for a pack of tubs from us I think I'll just stick to picking cuz everything seems to be so complicated I've seen vids of people using smaller tubs than this one I'm not trying to be a pro mycologist I just want to grow some shrooms ffs and it seems like I can't get anything good enough

LOL you wont need a pack of 6, only one...and besides the link I provided is sold out of the 6 pack. I was providing it as an example showing the length, width and height of a container that is small but probally your best bet for a small-ish SGFC. Ill be totally honest, I have been to a number of different department stores that ranged in size from small to "Super", and they are sold at everyone of them for around $7 US dollars.
You can get a kit and I doubt you will have anything happen like what they are showing. Kits are designed to take your money and provide you with a product that will give you a few mushrooms...Enough that you cannot complain for your money back. Use the search function and look for success stories using kits. Almost all involve people throwing them out and starting over the correct way.
But don't take my word for it. Sounds like you made a plan before you even came and asked for an opinion.

Just trying to help you make the best of your educational experience. From the way you word the last post:

I doubt that you will have luck with out an understanding of the basic process, and kits take away any knowledge gained and you will suffer as will your grow. Feel free to do whatever you want, but you ask for advice and are being given the best advice to Do it yourself. You really will be wasting more by doing a kit, but do whatever you think is best for you, even if all of us "pro mycologist" will keep using our own plastic tubs.
Here is a good example of a kit in action: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19378167/gonew/1#UNREAD It is a very recent thread from a fellow in the UK. Mold right out the gate.

Don't forget you can order almost everything you need just via Amazon... let alone the ebay link posted above. You are asking for advice on the internet, now use said internet to procure everything you need and stop making excuses lol.
Don't give up , solve the damn problem!

yes every internet promise is true.
It's not a scam and they do do as advertised as they are selling one hundred percent mycelium! I wouldn't even call them kits! All one has to do is dunk them and then shove them in a bag!
There are the very obviously crappy do it yourself kits that you can buy online, and then there are hundred percent colonized and hundred percent illegal blocks of mycelium that you can order from Amsterdam and such places!
Overpriced maybe but people are paying to avoid doing all the work themselves! It's kind of like going through the trouble of preparing your own Chinese food and then ridiculing people as morons because they themselves want to buy a takeaway!
Sure you'd be stupid to buy one cause they are illegal but unlike the do it yourself kits, a block of full colonized substrate has a very high chance of success! Don't get how people can have a problem with them!

people have problem with them cause we see them everyday suffering and doing shitty, the company doesn't give a fuck or have a 1-800 number to phone and help you because they have your money already, the instructions are horrible the set up is horrible the price is horrible and everytime we see them it's not a "LOOK AT HOW AWESOME THIS IS" it's "WTF IS GOING WRONG" If you have the money go for it but at least build a proper chamber and give them proper conditions and at least you can get some prints to save yourself money down the road

Yeah your right about them needing a shotgun though I have seen people have pretty good results! I don't nor wouldn't use them myself but I can understand the attraction of it if you haven't got the time or resources to start a real grow yourself!

I suspect being in an industry where USUALLY by following the instructions you commit an illegal act and thus void any responsibility held by the vendor lends SOME purveyors to see profit before people... these spores are for MICROSCOPY only...the rest of the stuff in the kit is for growing shiitakes....really. 
Oh what's that you are having trouble with your grow kit? I'm sorry that's illegal and I'm going to have to not give a fuck. Have a nice day, thanks for the $100.

Wow, assuming your going to fail is a horrible mind set!...to be honest I think your making the process a lot more difficult then it really is! Im sorry your having trouble, be patient. Dont jump ahead of your self! You should really gain a little knowledge on how to grow, before you grow!
