Maybe Big Jim Conrad will chime in.
He’s mentioned a brand, but i can’t recall it.
Slumlord’s Nana cans a lot too. 😂😂

I would imagine that Yeti would be the way to go. (Freeze's Law - objects under pressure will cool faster at a given temperature than those not under pressure.)

All american canners are in a league of their own. I've got one and love it. No gaskets, super heavy duty and well made.
I still use my parent's presto that has to be 35 years old and it works fine too

Nothing wrong with a Presto. We've been using them for many, many years.

I bought a American Canner. The middle size that is about twice the capacity of most pressure cookers.
I can process 14 quarts at one time, instead of 7. I may can 70 to 90 quarts at one session! I buy in bulk and may spend 15 to 20 hours at one canning session.
I would not buy the biggest because of size and weight.
Also get the Ball Canning book and read up before you start caning.

We canned some last year in an Instant Pot. I am think about getting an All America but have not dropped the coins yet.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

A 23 quart Presto will do anything you want to do and will be sold in your estate sale.

I scored an All American canner for a great price. Can't imagine needing anything else nor do I see myself switching anytime.
