speaking of canning

I'll probably be using my outside burner mostly. Indoor is gas as well. Plenty of room

Be cautious using crab boilers and the like. They can over pressurize or even warp a canner.

I have a bunch of cabelas points saved and have been looking at a few things on the "wish list"
This is one of them. Good brand?? size considerations?? it comes in 15 and 21 qt model.
I have a tuna trip planned for this summer and hope to get a bear this year.

Thoughts?

21 for sure. Best brand you can get for sure. I use a campstove double burner with my two Americans. I have a Steel plate I lay over the burners so the flame has not direct contact with the pot. Works like a charm. We put up 100 plus lbs of Tuna last year.

I know they are expensive but I own the All American canner in both the 21.5 and 41.5. When you do a 300lbs to 400lbs of tuna a yr it doesn't take as long.

It's just a side burner on my grill. Not much different than my gas range indoor. Thanks though

We have 2 All American Pressure Canners. We can ALOT of veggies, fish and Meat. We can do 2 rows of quarts at the same time. We do about 300-400 jars of tuna a year. BIGGER IS DEFINATELY BETTER. It was well worth it. Especially if you are doing them outside.

Man you guys are putting up some serious tuna.

Another vote for Presto. This one's $100.

I canned 260 1/2 pints of tuna last summer. Bigger is better. I bought a canner, and borrowed one. Got both going, and made good time. I used my coleman stove outside, to avoid having my house smell like fish for a week. Worked great!

I have the Presto 23 qt.  Been canning with it for 15 years or more now.  What's nice is McLendon Hardware carries all the rubber parts for them.  I've replaced only the sealing gasket once.

We have a 21 quart (and a smaller Presto) and love it.  It's a bit heavy for our cheapo Kenmore electric range so we use it on our Camp Chef stove.  Keeps the kitchen and house cooler that way anyway.  Hadn't planned to buy it but was at a garage sale with a $50 tag on it so bought it.  The guy said he bought it and then found out aluminum didn't work on his induction stove so it had never been used.

This came in my presto canner.

Thanks.
Billy the Kid had mentioned the same thing.
Must not be able to regulate the temp well enough to keep the pressure dialed in??
