Bulk steam pasterization

Now I am trying to go low key here but in large bulk pasteurization has anyone used their pressure cookers steam outlet to direct the steam into a large steam barrel. I attach 3/8 tubing to the exit steam valve of my pressure cooker and direct it to my steam box to bend wood, I just thought to myself why dont I do this for bulk substrate. Has anyone done this??? It holds way more water than conventional steamers. I guess I will just have to try and find out.

ive seen some peepz do it like that here... it should work
I mostly do oven pasteurization, no preheating, putting out the oven flame @120, starting the countdown @140, and I still end up @ around 160F after 90mins...

I love coir for this aspect especially.
Haha I just hydrated a sub with room temp tap water and it performed just as well as pasteurized coir

I've heard that too, but they usually put it in the labeling when they do that, as it actually adds value for plant growers.
I've used 3 or 4 types and haven't had any issues. RN I'm using a 5 KG brick from Amazon for 20 bucks. Its tested for salt content and had a neutral PH.

No, horse manure and straw. I use coir sometimes but for that I just use the bucket tek. I dont know if coir is as good as manure. If somebody convinced me it was I'd switch to that. That would be a lot easier. I'm trying to do a 4 by 8 grow so not sure what's the best method. Any suggestions would be great

I use an old pressure cooker as a steam generator for pasteurizing. I had a welder tig weld on a aluminum 3/4" pipe fitting to the lid for exhaust and a 1" pipe fitting to the pot of the cooker for an element to make a neat electric powered steam generator, it works great. I use it to steam a large ice cooler via a PID temp controller.
