:huh: Read your instruction manual, it should come with one. Keep the rocker on, thats what keeps pressure in. Someone prolly did that as a joke for newbs. When u start, turn the heat up full once u start hearing sounds of pressurized air escaping as the rocker is rocking turn the heat down 3/4 of the way.  You want to maintain a slooow and steaady rocking for 1 hour. Never ever take the rocker off while your using it, only when the saftey is down its safe to take the rocker off.

What are you using, a casing, mono, bulk?  Usually a 3:1 ratio with poo/straw.  I've done bags where I used 5 pints of spawn to 5 lbs of poopie and they worked out good, crumbled of coarse.
