Spore syringe and no pressure cooker, what should I inject?

I have a spore syringe and no pressure cooker, Both of the Presto PC are out of stock everywhere and maybe for some time. Should I take some steps back and go with a PF Tek? I am very experienced, but have not practiced in 15 years. If not PF Tek, how about knocking up a number of pre-sanitized 1 lb grain bags from a shroom supply place? Or something else?

first off if your experienced why the hell would you go spores to grain in the first place? you really should use agar first to make sure you have a clean and strong culture. spores to grain is a total gamble. also its against the rules to post vendors names so u should edit your post. but if u must use a spore syringe pf tek is the best/safest route
also premade shit of any kind is usually not a very good idea in the first place but in the summer months its even a more risky thing to do cuz i wouldnt want my shit aittng in a hot ass mail truck for a week before getting it🤷🏼
so its up to you

I was finally able to find the last PC within 50 miles at a Walmart. It's a Presto 01745, which is only 16 quart and doesn't have a pressure gauge. I loved my 01781 but misplaced it during my move. From what I read this should work as long as I use the 15psi weight.

Yeah it probably comes with like a 10 psi and 15 psi weight or something. Not a problem it doesnt come with a guage. Good looks snagging one during these times

I have a cheap 8qt farberware pressure cooker. Think its 7 1/2 psi. I just double the times. 90 minutes for wbs. So far so good. Only holds 4 pint jars though.

Congrats on finding that PC!
I've never had a PC with gauge. I've always wanted one when I grow up though.
It's never been a huge issue.
I had to adjust times for the oddball 12psi weight, which wasn't too hard, and was too lazy/cautious to do the math to figure out what coin or other weight to affix to weight to get 15psi.
I've noticed its hard to find the gasket tubs I like to use around town now since the rona hit.
Good luck on next steps!
