We have this one, not the smallest or the biggest, but they are something you will pass down for genrations, made from a single billet.  Buck $ up and forget about it for ever.

This is the exact unit I was considering but was curious about the size?  How many quart jars can you fit in it?  In the same line, I was looking at the 30 quart because it is only $70 bucks more.  Jumping to the 40 quart is $200 more.

I just went out and checked ours.....we also have the model 921.  It is in my shop on a standard burner range as our in the house range top is glass.....

921 HOLDS 21 1/2 quarts water (19 pints or 7 quart jars), so Im sure the 30 quart model holds 30 quarts of water capacity and does not hold 30 quart jars, a little misleading until you think about it.

30 is plenty big.. I run a presto and an all American and no issues with either one....

Thanks for posting the link.  Just read it and figure the "All American" 30 qt may be the way to go.  Not really sure why the presto's are so much cheaper though....that is perked my interest.
