Lady Bender did a lot of canning both water bath and pressure cooker back in the day but when it came time to can Salmon & Albacore Tuna I took over. I did it in the garage with a heavy duty two burner camp stove that Costco sells from time to time. Fish required 90 minutes at 10 or 15 pounds pressure and it needed constant vigilance so I took our office chair out there and did a lot of reading. I used one of these All American canners that held 3 rows of half pints which worked for us…

I just recently got one of those! I had it on my Christmas list, but it was too much for my family, so several of them chipped in for my “canner fund” for Christmas and my birthday, until I had enough to buy one.

Previously I had been using a smaller Presto brand, that only had the weight on it. But the weight had some kind of build-up where it rested on the nozzle, and I couldn’t trust it anymore.

I have a two burner coleman camp stove that I have not used for 30 years. Dug it out of the basement store room. Couldn’t remember how to use it. Printed the directions and stuck them inside it.

It actually has fuel in it. Wonder if that fuel will still be good? I chickened out on trying to light it. We used to have propane or natural gas stoves in our early years. Switched to all electric when we built house.

I just don’t like to light that stuff - Hubby always did it for me when we went camping. Although in my dare - devil teenage years before I got married, I used to light the camp stove for Mom. Funny how things change when you are beyond the invincible stage.LOL
