Thoughts on H-poo prep

So, I bought too 5 lbs bags of pre-pasteurized H-Poo from Tenn Stud. I used part of one bag on two small casings. Spawned with a spent cake, they got the green meany before I could case (it was the cake). 
Now I'm left with an un-opened bag and a bag that was opened & closed within a sterile room and stored in a Tyvek bag. The bags have been waiting about a month.
Here is what I was thinking about doing:
1. Combine the two bags in one large oven bag. 2. Break up the poo (its a bit chunky). 3. Maybe add some verm (I don't have chunky verm, though. Only finer grade) 4. Pasteurize in the oven or on stove top (depending on whether I find a candy thermometer or a meat thermometer first) 5. Inoculate with a few jars of millet spawn. 6. Store the bag with poly-fill stuffed in the opening, bound with wire; incubated at 80F(?). 7. Transfer to tub. 8. Case.
Thoughts? I'm looking for opinions and criticisms. Tare this procedure apart if need be. I'm not in love with any one thing. Just trying to eliminate mistakes.

i would mix the spawn and poo and put it right in the tub, cover with some foil w/ holes in it, just not give it air or light. then take off the foil after about a week and case. if the poo is prepasteurized why are you pasteurizing again?

I agree with fungiamongi. You would be better to just let the poo colonize in the tub. Here's the tek you need if you haven't seen it. http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/4323984/an/0/page/0
Re-pasteurization will be a safer route considering that poo cost you money. But it wouldn't surprise me you could just use it as it is.

Yeah, I like the double tug tek a lot and thought I might follow it. The only reason I would use a bag is because my spawn is ready to go (poo, too) and I have no tub. But I have bags. Also, the poo is a bit chunky. So, I need to break it up some. A bag seem easier to do that in.
