Just a response specific to the question of "other teks before buying a PC" http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21390984
I and several others are of the opinion/experience that mixing cakes into bulk doesn't really increase the yield potential enough to be worth the several potential downfalls. If yields are higher it's because the large self-contained cake with just one exposed fruiting surface is a more fool-proof fruiting method. Since BRF cakes are already a bulk substrate mix, being 1/3 grain and 2/3 vermiculite, mixing them with more bulk substrate would be little different than mixing a bag of colonized grain & coir/verm to a tub of just more coir/verm. Not really a lot more yield potential, just done when it's a preferable fruiting method.
My link above is a tek that allows you to still just steam a BRF/verm substrate but without the dry verm barrier and the birthing/handling process. The containers have countless uses, mycological and otherwise. And since the containers retain ideal humidity, with great ease without a complex SGFC, the substrate is capable of producing the best yield that BRF can provide, especially with some great cultures - which are also super easy to select with a method like this. As opposed to slow, tedious, single-function gear-heavy and high-maintenance PFtek with unsure yields, this method is set-and-forget and can near top performance.

Or just do regular bulk and get more shrooms.

This.
Also, OP, you're gonna need a PC for LC. Just go buy one. Save up if you have to. You could get a 23 qt Presto for about $75. It'll be very worth it. And yes, you can cook food/can in it too.

You can always make a larger batch of cakes. But a mini monotub maybe be even cheaper cost wise.
