Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Any canners out there.

I know Slum does. Any rebel canners?

I pressure can fish and meat.

Water bath fruit.

I have two like that one and one a little smaller. All American. They don't get any better.

Which size is that?

30qt.

Yep, All American also.

Yep. All American as well.

Prestos here but All American is the waybto go. Bought my sister one of the middle sized units. I'm probably going to get an large one to replace the two ancient Presto units we have.

Yes I have done a lot of canning.

Been trying to study up, I’ve done very little before this. Anyone ever re-use flats or/and use commercial jars, like new style factory jars?

I’ll be at about 8k feet elevation most of the time,

Jars and rings yes, lids no. Ball brand only IMO

Awesome. I'm still using a crappy Miro. I'll get an All American one day. Probably make the drive and buy it from their storefront.

Been talking to a couple people that have reused lids 3-5 times no issues.

People do it, it's just not my preference. It's probably fine to do, but lids are cheap enough. Plus, I'm only canning for four people, not a huge expenditure on lids.

I will use the 'Mason' jars that tomato sauce comes in. But for the most part I use Ball or Kerr jars. I don't reuse the lids.

Canned smoked Salmon is the bomb, BTW.

I also can seasoned black beans. Wife will add them to chili.

Canned Carnita's are also good for a quick meal.

My tinfoil hat says we may not have what we need at some point. Just checking..

Where do you get the Kerr jars? I only see Ball out here, but then again I get mine from Walmart.

Think I got them at yard sales. Pretty sure Ball bought Kerr a while back.

Just water bath so far.

Have to prestos.....but have been waiting to use them.


Might can a deer if the kids get one.
