how many bags - full of substrate, mind you - would you think could fit into, say... a 20 quart pressure cooker?

Really only about 2, possible 3 if you don't feel all the way and stack on top of each other. I usually buy the small substrate bags as I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket. You can fit about 7 of those in the 23qt cooker I have.

Each bag if filled to just under the filter patch would hold around 8-9 quarts so your answer would be two of the large bags filled to fill up your 20quart pressure cooker.

Not many maybe four or five. But there great bags. If was you I would use a 50 gallon drum with a lid to sterilize them. I grew oyster mushrooms on wood pellets and just boiled water and added to the substrate. And that was enough to sterilize before inoculation. Hope this helps you. There are a few YouTube videos showing ppm using a fifty gallon drum.

I have two ot the Fagor pressure cookers a smaller one and the 10 quart and the small one is great for smaller dishes but the ten quart is fantastic for large roasts and hugh corned beef and cabbage dinners. My suggestion is go for the larger unit.

I have put 10 lbs. of potatoes in one bin (with a few potatoes left over from before) which fits nicely and probably 5lbs. of onions in the other one and that would hold quite a bit more.

I am thinking possibly 1 1/2 qt. I know they will hold at least 2 regular size cans of veggies each.

The one pound disposable canisters are expensive by volume, and wasteful in general. I picked up a 4 foot adapter hose and bought a 5 and 11 pound refillable container. You can use the regular 20 pounders, but the little guys are easier if my wife wants to lug one around. We use it to grill on the patio quite often, and that 11 pound tank lasts most of the summer.

You can fit 20 in each hole and there are 20 holes. Probably at least 240 bags

Big enough.. If you need a bigger pot you're gonna have to build a fire.. I cook 5 lb pot roasts in mine and still have plenty of room for vegetables

One quart should be fine. I did 7 cutting boards (5 of which were end grain) and I still had some left over.

As I am still adding soil to my 2 bags, so this is going to be a guess, at best! I am using 62-64 dry quart bags of organic soil and feel that I will probably use at least 1 full bag and perhaps another 3-4 quarts for both of my potato bags! Hope this helps!

No! 2-3/4 cup total contents when added to the need for room to boil would exceed the capacity. You would have a big mess on your hands! You'll want to consider a "regular" sized cooker.

i used 1 bag but you may want to use 1 and a half or two bags. i myself don't like a lot in the tank. the one bag did cover the bottom.

Hmmm . . . 4 X 4 X almost 1 = about 15 cubic feet. Most big bags of soil are 1.5 to 2 cubic feet, so you'd need about 8 to 10 bags. That sounds about like what we used. We mixed in about a third of coconut coir too, and our veggies are growing like crazy!

I make 2 quarts of soy milk at a time but it would take more than that. It is a fairly large bag...1 gallon I think.

One 10 Lb. bag will be sufficient. You get better coverage with 15 lbs. but 20 is too much. If you overfill it covers the burner and it will not ignite. It comes with a great cover that helps but the glass does have a propensity to come out here and there. I ordered 2 ten pound bags. I used about 15 lbs. and keep the rest as a spare. For the price it really works nicely. The fire glass looks much better than the lava rocks.

Beware these bags are small. Probably fill up like 1 and a half 3gal pots. Look for the large bags online if not find your local hydro store

The instructions do not indicate the exact amount, but I believe you will need more than that. Probably around 20 litre. Thanks

I put 25 lbs in a 5-gallon bucket. I wouldn't put in anymore than that. I store lentils and black eye peas.
