Following the instructions in the Canning Blue Book, I do not even put the weight on until I have a solid stream of steam for 10 minutes. That insures that the canner is full of steam when you start building pressure. I have the All American 30 qt. canner. It hold 30 qts of liguid, hence the 30 qt. size. Mine hold 14 qt. jars or 19 pint jars.
It also has a pressure gage and a weight to control pressure. I only pay attention to to the pressure gage to know when the pressure has dropped to zero before I open the canner. On the high end, I trust the weight over the gage. Ill do that, i didn't know it would affect it that much, it came with almost no information in the manual

You can stack more jars on top of the other jars. It says so right in the book.
Cotton, ya know how us women are always telling men to read the instructions? Turn it around and tell your wife to read her canner instruction booklet LOL Cotton, don't do it..Angela must be mad at you or something!! Ask yourself if you want to be right or if you want to be happy!!!

I figured it out, the weights that come with the canner are 70kpa, 10 lbs, For crying out loud! Only option, need 15 lbs for meat Im gonna order an all american no gasket pressure cooker Ten pounds is fine for meat just longer duration, ten pounds ninety minutes, 15 pounds seventy five min...or that's what I was taught and have used for years

Your elevation above sea level has to be figure in your pressure and time.
