Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pressure canner.

My wife may have a spare, do want to pick, and return?

Pressure canning is like reloading. Follow the rules. Don’t try to make the gun or load or canner do something it wasn’t designed to do. Looks like he tried to pressure can a double charge of Bullseye.

the one I have, as from what my dad can remember my grandmother bought it back in the 1940s.

There is a local Mennonite owned store that had a number of them about a month ago. Want me to buy one and mail it to you?

We use a Presto that we've had for 30 years or so. Have already canned close to a 100 jars of stuff already this year. It just keeps on working.

Them Mennonites is sure reliable!

Would be surprised if they still had one on the shelf James.

Find an All American. Presto's are for cheapassed.

I'll be glad to look for you

That's right.

Well...if its on your way but dont make a special trip.

I didn't have any canner money until we got our Trump Bucks.

I guess no one else did either!

Probably be a pile for sale used after November.

A guy from work called me the other day with the same problem.
I have an All-American and in my opinion they’re well worth the money. I hope you find one!

An canner is useless without jars! Try to find some quart jars or lids. Everywhere is sold out. I bought out the last little hardware store’s inventory.

I'd grab the first canner you can find.

You might not be able to pass a Presto on to your grand kids but it will get you at least 10 years of canning done just fine.

Gee, I wonder why everybody's out of stock.

LOL

We have an old National brand machined fit between the lid and pot no gasket required. Regular pipe threads cut into the heavy cast lid so if needed the gauge can easily be replaced (no need the original still works fine). Heavy swing bolts and pressure releases (probably went out of business with that model as it will never wear out) Got it some years back for $10 at a garage sale.

We had new ones here recently at the local farm store. Will look and see for you....

My mom used a Presto for over thirty years. She probably canned about 75 quarts or more a year.She died about 5 years ago am I am still using it.

I bought an All-American off Craigslist last year. It's great.

My wife is using one her grandmother had. No telling how old it is.

Green beans take four hours in a cold pack canned, but just 25 minutes in a pressure canned!

We’ve canned 28 quarts so far this year, and most of our plants haven’t even started producing yet.

I’d look at eBay and old lady yard sales, estate sales, and local auctions. Worst that could happen is it needs a new seal. Ace Hardware has those.

Dollar Store has jars and lids.

They are everywhere here. No shortage. We have enough quart jars to can more than we need, but did buy some pints. Mennonite store had them, Walmart had them, TSC had them, and so did Rural King.
