I would recommend starting off with one pod of silks that we sell on the site. It comes with 20 worms in it. If your cham likes them, then I slowly step up the number that you feed him, but keep it within the guidelines of the number of other feeders being fed and what is listed on cham forums...
We do plan on offering kits with everything you'll need to raise them from eggs. If you let me know exactly what you had in mind, I can get something set up for you. I was thinking:
Empty Cup with mesh
2-3oz dry powdered chow
Empty cup to mix chow in
~50 eggs or some amount of small silks
We...

Yes, coastal chow doesn't smell bad at all. The only complaint I had is the mold seems to develop faster with their chow. Our own can last for 10+ days with no mold with needing to clean poop out. Much less waste.
Where do you get your chow from? The stuff that OregonSilks and Mulberry Farms has is awful. Coastal or the stuff I have smells much better and tends to come through much more smooth.

You can pull the food a little early and force them to spin & pupate early, but we've...

Well, sort of. I am in Kansas, my brother runs our east coast operations out of Chantilly VA.
Let me know if you need anything and we can try to hook you up.
Of course if you only have a premade "pod", don't do this. If you don't have backup chow and you let what is in the pod dry up...you're out of luck. If you're raising a few dozen in "bulk", it's safest to simply clean out the container daily.
If you need some chow separate from the pod, have...
