Easy and effective, Nice! Plastic is great for carpeted floors too. Just cover that bitch up.

Oh ok, misunderstood at first. I thought you somehow plug the armholes with a breathable cloth that doesn’t disturb the still air environment.
If I’m being honest I kiiiinda got lazy a couple months back and did a dry run (no towel, no spraying inside the SAB) and, well...I never went back to towels. No contams yet, but it still feels kinda “wrong” lol Mushboy along with a few other TCs have been preaching the dry SAB for a while now.

Right on I just bought one myself.
I’m not familiar with this stuff, I’ll be using 23 qt presto, how much propane does a pc cycle use?
Trying to decide if I should get a huge refillable one or if the little green camping ones will work. Obviously big refillable ones would be best but I’m not planning on massive amounts of spawn on a regular basis.

In my experience I suggest One of those 15lb-20lb propane tanks. Those small ones really aint shit especially when youre doing multiple 90 min cooks. And since you wont be using it much like you said well then you can just save it for later It will get used eventually.

Definitely the larger ones you see at gas stations and hardware stores - they'll be 20lb propane tanks. You can get a lot out of them... I'd say at least 20 2hr PC cycles. You hardly need any flame at all to your PC to 15-18PSI
Presto's are aluminum, BTW. So, just keep it on the lower end. Don't let the flames get anywhere close to curling up around the base and you'll be good.
 Not the best depiction, but you can see that it's pretty damn low.

Cool thanks guys.
I ended up getting a smaller setup that maxes at 25k btu.
Lol the one you linked is crazy, 65k. I liked how the description highlights its ability to brew beer in a windstorm.
Guess I’ll get a tank now too.

You got it AKA. Feel free to PM me if you run into any trouble... I don't think you will - it's pretty much as easy as using a gas range. That's a bullshit claim of theirs, for sure. Especially with lower settings, my PSI will be jumping all over the place with a steady wind.
Back on subject about my dirty little 'lab'
  I also run it dry. No towel. No ISO spray down. Just a preliminary wipe of the floor and working surfaces and I'm off. I don't work on a grate for the most part... Finesse. That's not to say that I'm not completely envious of your setup Shquonk.... we're looking for a house right now and your lab room is pretty much of one of my parameters for whatever we buy.

My lab is actually built inside of a 20ft shipping container. It is also for commercial production so its gotta be on top of its game.

Just pile on that envy...
An eventual projection of mine - a somewhat-commercial production. Just supplying local restaurants and grower's markets. Seems you can't do enough blue oysters around here if you tried and I'm happy to help fuel that.

Lets just say I work for a very wealthy Woman who owns, restaurants, markets, and organic farms. I did build and design it though. The envy goes to the lady with the endless pockets to start this sort of operation.

She’ll never know the bliss of seeing that dank pinset in the morning though....
Side note: is it me or are the gourmet people on here against others selling gourmet? Is it really such a competitive field? I tried to get some advice on growing/selling shiitake (on a pretty small scale) and my thread was ghosted. Not even a sympathy poast

How you guys keep up with that amount of work? I can see the endless amounts of petri dishes and colonizing jars in the pictures.
Are you doing it full time or retired? A friend of a friend is doing the few cakes and the occasional DMT extraction and can't really keep up with it while working normally.

It’s not work, it’s rest and relaxation.
Okay, maybe not the prep, but mostly it’s relaxing lol

It’s 99% waiting.
If you mass prep grain and jars it’s really just a couple times there’s a lot of work.
Prep/pc/knock up jars then wait a couple weeks
Spawn tubs and wait a month
Harvest and dry.

The quick turn around is what makes this so much better than plants.
Once you get the basics down it’s like an addicting game, trying to always do better or discover the perfect clone.
My “lab” is just an empty bedroom with a table for the SAB, and a drawer desk thing next to it I store my plates and agar stuff in.
Besides that it’s just tubs everywhere.
