As a Boy Scout I learned that if you coat your pans with a thin layer of dish soap before cooking the carbon will not build up on the outside of that pan. The small amount you get will come off much easier as the soap does not let it adhere to the pan.

I have an All-American like yours, John. I don't know if yours came with a manual or not, but just a couple of tips--rub either some Vaseline or olive oil along the beveled rim of the pot before you put the lid on (gives a good seal), and when you tighten the lugs you tighten two at a time across from each other, then go back and check them the same way to make sure they are all tightened down. At least that's what the manual says, and I don't take any chances with pressure canning (grin).

If you have a presto canner with the pressure gauge you need to monitor... swap out the giggler for a weighted giggler. The regulator the canner comes with requires you to be able to adjust the temp... the pre weighted regulators are WAYYY more forgiving. (I set mine up to be a 12lb weight by adding a couple washers onto the 10lb weight so it is the perfect adjustment for my altitude... it jiggles from 12- 13lbs and works awesome.) Thanks so much for the vid J... I have always wondered if this was possible.

Great video, John. You covered the one thing, I'd wondered about with the SilverFire Survivor -- pressure canning. Thought it would work with an adjustable weight regulator, without any problems. (There is one available for Presto canners, too.) Glad to know, for sure! Congratulations on receiving an All American. Big thank you to the person who sent it. Can't have too much canning equipment, when the need arrives. Like your magnet idea! Perhaps SilverFire will add one with a future upgrade. John, a suggestion. Instead of moving the canner, under pressure, use a trowel, ash shovel, or something similar to rake out the embers when the processing time ends. Several reasons. (1) Fully loaded canner is heavy. At least it is for old folks, like me. Risk too high that I'd drop it. If that regulator comes off, the sudden release of steam can cause really serious burns. (2) Heat up, exhausting, and cool down times are all in the calculation for processing under pressure time. While there is some allowance for variables, don't want to cool down the canner to quickly and throw off those calculations. Not only from a safe product standpoint. Potential for too quick cool down to cause contents of jars to overflow, preventing sealing. When canning outdoors in cold weather or when the wind is high, recommend removing the jars and setting in a towel lined cooler. If the glass cools too quickly can induce stress points. Can crack the jars immediately or cause them to crack with the next use, for example. Re: Soot - Use old rags, newspaper and the like to remove loose soot. Soot stains are almost impossible to remove from towels, counter tops and other places where stains are a problem. Next, I don't worry about soot stains on the outside of pots used over a fire. I know that some people like to keep them nice and shiny. But it doesn't hurt anything to let the metal darken with use. Similar to seasoning cast iron and carbon steel cookware. -- Just wipe off ALL the loose soot, then wash & dry as usual. No need to use steel wool, elbow grease, or harsh chemicals, over & over again, to hold these stains at bay. In closing, with my last question answered, plan to order the SilverFire Survivor today. Like the Hunter, very much & may order in the future, when budget allows. However, the Survivor best suits my needs at this time, because it is side feed. Thank you very much for helping me to make that decision. God Bless.

If you wipe any kind of dishwashing liquid on the bottom and around the sides of your pot. And let it dry for a couple of minutes not dish soap it must be pure dishwashing liquid when you wash your pot in the sink the black will wash right off. Because it sticks to the dishwashing liquid that is dry God, bless you my friend

I would not hessitate if needed to grab one of me camp pans and use it in my home they are just as clean as the one I have in the house.

The only caution I'd like to make is your pressure canner had the weight on it which is designed to give of excess pressure once it hits the weighted designated pressure with my canner which is a presto my weight does not give off excess pressure instead I regulate how high or low the pressure is by turning up and down my heat source. For folks with similar canners this might be dangerous it does encourage one to change canners so canning like that can be an option. Great video thanks so much jnull...
@oldtimerlee882011 жыл бұрын
SJPrepper0569 You can order an adjustable weight for Presto canners. Configured to set it at 5 lbs, 10 lbs, & 15 lbs. Works great. If memory serves paid about $10 for mine. For the ease of use of the canner, it's worth 10 times that over a canning season. Suspect the same thing can be done with a dial gauge canner. First practicing a few times by canning water. (Good use for empty jars between refills.) Appears that by adding/removing sticks of wood would be equivalent to turning a dial. No not as convenient. Takes more skill, as does baking biscuits on a campfire. Thus, practice needed before attempting actual canning. And, this definitely isn't a "Set It & Forget It". Thumbs up on noting the caution, especially to those just learning to can. Hope everyone with a Presto will order the adjustable weight. Especially if they plan to use wood fire, regardless of the type stove used.

The *fuel sticks* are adjustable. And, by that, I mean... if you need a hotter fire, you add another *fuel stick* (aka: wood) If you need less heat, you take a fuel stick out. It would be a good idea to experiment with how much wood you need to maintain your desired temperature. Once the *jiggler* is placed, you still need to keep an eye on the temperature guage. I hope this helps :)

You're very welcome :-D I thought of something else... The diameter of the twigs would mean something, too. ie: if you're trying to raise the intensity of the fire, add a larger fuel stick {twig} and vice versa. I start my fire with several different sizes so I can adjust the heat with different size sticks, by either adding or taking away. It can be a little tricky at first, and that's why John says *it takes practice*. And, he's right. ;) Don't let that discourage you, tho. Just like anything else in life, you won't get it right the first time. LOL I hope this helps:-D
@oldtimerlee88207 жыл бұрын
Moore2Life, I know this is an old video. I have an adjustable regulator for my Presto canners. Works just like the All American with selective weight settings. Have mine set to 10 lbs for my altitude, and it works fine to hold steady pressure. Had been canning for years, on an electric stove, without a problem, until I bought a propane kitchen stove. Couldn't turn the flame down low enough to keep the pressure from creeping to 15 lbs in my Presto. Heard about the adjustable weight and bought one. No more pressure creep. Holds pressure steady at 10 lbs. The challenge with an open flame, when you have a selective/adjustable pressure regulator is keeping the heat high enough to maintain needed pressure setting for the required time interval. It takes a watchful eye. Can't walk away from it, as much as if it were in a kitchen with a constant heat source. Hope this is helpful to you and/others reading this thread.

If you have a washer barrel fire pit with grills on top, then yes, you can run two pressure canners at once. Takes more wood, but can be done. Hot water bath canning works better that way and especially if you are doing a lot of jars. Two rocket stoves would be better for two pressure canners. Use less wood and can get them both going at once so the timing is easy to maintain. And one does not need a commercially made rocket stove. Even concrete block rocket stove will serve you just fine. There are enough DIY rocket stoves here on youtube to choose from and they all are pretty inexpensive up to welded high tech expensive ones. Find what fits your budget and get cooking!
