Aluminum trays - best FC solution?

So I have these old trays that I bought for grilling out, but only used like 2 of them. I was hoping to get several of these going in a humongous FC. I was hoping to get ideas or for some successful FC's with 4-8 trays in them.
I have done a couple of SGFC's before but in my experience it's messy and also so obvious that I dislike it. I'm looking for a stealthier solution (I know the word "stealth" gets a lot of hate here) and I noticed the poor man's pod can accomplish what I am looking for, but again gets a ton of hate because it is hard to dial in and it's not super reliable, etc.
So, the question remains - Can I fruit 4-8 trays (I'm thinking of building a shelf to stack them) in a less noticeable FC that doesn't have 100 SGFC holes in it or is more reliable than a poor man's pod? If not I will just stick with a monotub. I was just wondering if any of you had any creative ideas floating around...
Thanks in advance.

put the trays in a mono or take the 4 trays and mix them all together and just make a mono normally

This is great!
1. I'm sure that humidity won't be an issue with several trays in there, or will "dialing in" the tub be more difficult with way more trays generating humidity? 2. Will FAE be hindered with trays stacked on top of each other?

if you stack trays how are the mushrooms going to grow? you put them next to each other. you can stack tubs not trays.
humidity isn't very important. a monotub will hold appropriate humidity if you load if full of substrate, hence the trays in there being appropriate.
it's not more or less difficult to dial it in, dialing it in is dialing it in.

When I say stack, imagine a shelf. I'm thinking about a three tiered shelf so 3 trays on either side, for a total of 6 trays, unless I can also fit some in the middle, for a total of 9-10 trays. There will be a 6-8 inch gap above where the top of the tray ends and the next shelf begins.

monotubs and most FCs are kind of useless unless they have air flow around them. a closet can be ok for a monotub but if they're on a shelf with most of the sides blocked you may want to position the holes on sides that are not blocked.

Why not just take all the sub and mix it together in one monotub and feuit that way? I dont think your 3 tierd system will work in a monotub

Mixing them together and making a mono as Trusted Cultivator said would be best. By the end of your second flush the myc with most likely be eating through the aluminum trays.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I happened across this last night and I'm loving the idea and more importantly, the pinset is out of this world.

those are hard to dial in, you see way more fails with air pumps than with passive systems.

I have a mono set up mono for B+, and this tray idea is going to be an experiment (if it even happens). In my sig, those came from my own method that used direct fanning 3/4 times a day to achieve that pinset. I've achieved this multiple times using this technique. Letting it get normal FAE for me doesn't get me as good results as "forced" air exchange.
I didn't like having to fan it all of the time to get the pinset I wanted so I'm looking for a more automated solution. Who knows, I may not do it I'm just putting ideas out there.

if you want automation just drill holes. you dont need to fan.
