Hahaha I'm not a hard numbers guy. My style is to not give a fuck. The spawn jars are just 3/4 quart jars of high quality racehorse oats. I hard boil the oats for 20 minutes, strain on a flat screen, and load them when they are no longer hot. Lots of ppl, even some great TCs, shit on oats. No clue why.

I have no clue how much the oats weigh. Never weighed them.

Just stop using corn, it's a very poor choice. The man uses one quart of spawn and gets results because he know's how to grow mushrooms. Get better at producing spawn and the weight won't matter, first step to better spawn is ditching corn 
Nice shoeboxes

From BOD's oat tek. This is what I do
Quote:
For 10 jars (what fits in my 23q presto) you need 10-12 cups of oats or 2.5-3 quarts of dry oats.
Since weight is easier and more reliable I just weigh out 210-220 grams per quart jar or 180 grams if using them for g2g receiving jars as they need some extra room.

Hell yeah, Munch, that's some good shit. Beautiful fruits at the end of that vid, too. Thanks for putting this together. Never thought of putting shoeboxes inside mono tubs, but it obviously works beautifully 
Dig the music, too haha

Oh, yer gonna love this, but I just wanna be like Munch!
I've gone thru Pasty's EZ dialed, and I'm just lost where to put the larger holes. I know 3 long side, 2 short side, I think, mebbe not Know...
So I grabbed an old SAB 66qrt and added some more holes.

But I have a new 66 that I want to do better! Can you add dimensions or a drawing for location and hole size for the long and short sides? However the cans I use to melt holes are; 2", 2.5", 3", and the ever popular 4" coffee can.
I mean some current holes are below the Shoebox top, so it seems restricted. I would think above, so there's more open space behind the holes. Thanks for your time and awesome tips! 
p.s. Can't wait to see your Uncle Ben's experiment...

My rig for making holes is to go buy a glass bottle of Coke, stab a screwdriver thru the metal cap, heat that bitch up and push it thru. Do it outside if possible and be careful to not drop the hot cap off the screwdriver. I can shoot some pics of the design later.

Ill prob give this a shot, seems like it might be perfect for dry climates.
The talk about how much spawn and those pictures is why I never understood people using more than one quart per shoebox. A quart is perfect, if you get a good culture and everything goes right you can get the whole yield in one flush. I’ve had a few 500g wet flushes from one quart and seen people do even better.
Those toc fruits are awesome, I’ve never gotten any that thick on the first flush.

Oh I see where I got the larger hole idea...first and then your video...
Mushboys and mine 2" holes
I saw it in Mushboy Making Shoeboxes (some hilarity)
Ya I liked the idea of dialing in the FAE with tape, although not sure that idea is in there either.  Ok found it, you said it! " I use the standard holes with micropore tape as a FAE regulator" LOL AND I can pretty well see where you put the holes now that I go over the video again. I suppose this tub's holes are gonna be pretty big, so perhaps I'll double up the tape...
Anyways, FAE is prolly not so important while the lids are snapped on. So there will be room in front of the holes when there's just two open Shoeboxes, duh.
Sorry just getting up to speed here...

Ok, new 66 quart tub gets 1.35" dia. holes from my biggest hot socket!  and voilà! 
I put two layers of micropore tape because there's no moisture in the other one since 8 days. I'm up to 4 & 5 layers for those big 4" holes (ex-SAB).
(I know I could have four SBs in one tub till fruiting, but...)
two shoeboxes triched out really bad with a few gnats! It seems like the lid on the tub is warped or ill fitting. So I added weather stripping, the black stuff under the lid.
SB1 spawned 10/17, SB3 10/23
Now hopefully the tub will start showing some moisture in it. This is the new 66 qrt tub with six 1.3" diameter holes. Covered by 2 layers of micropore tape.
Thanks for the tub method Munch!
