Long time browser, first time poster.
For several years I've relied solely on the Monotub technique for my fruiting chamber. Its been mostly successful with only a few contaminations to date. The only other tek I've tried was the PF block tek which was an immediate failure and I've yet to try again as bulk isn't exactly my main focus. I'm interested in a modified version of the styrofoam cooler fruiting chamber from "The Magic Mushrooms Grower's Guide" to which I'll post a link. I'd like to use a plastic cooler thats slightly larger to accommodate a few more cakes and also for a slightly more permanent set up. My question regards the effectiveness of the technique and also the insulating properties of the cooler. I'm worried with the occasional standing water the internal temperature would drop significantly and it would be too difficult to manipulate the temperature from the outside as its a cooler and of course is quite insulating. I've thought about the kind of under tank heater that goes on a lizard terrarium but I assume it would melt the plastic. If there is an article that relates to this or someone has experience with this technique I would greatly appreciate your help and experience.

I've found a portal to 1996 and a travel appeared from the otherside.
Fear not berniak for you are now in the enlightened age of the shroomery.
Wait, you grew monos and now you've settled on this derelict tek?
Use shroomery forums, ditch that wacky old ass tek.

There's a reason no one uses that pile of shit setup anymore
And a reason I put that tek in a section called the trash + the archive

Man, that really takes me back.
I almost tried that once, but I was broke, and couldn't afford to buy a glass aquarium. Wound up spending $60 on a Homestead kit (these were 1992 dollars, so that was like half a weeks paycheck working part time at a pizza place.)
The homestead kit was just some plastic petris, a sporeprint, a bag of compost, and maybe some tools . I had no pressure cooker, and no glovebox, so nothing ever came of that project except living off of baloney tortilla pizzas and hotdog fried rice for a week.
Good times. Good Times.
