Hi Scotty,
1 hour and 40 minutes at 10 pounds.

I always went higher, 2 hrs at 15 pounds, with no ill effects. Most recipes are elevation dependant and go 100 minutes at 11 pounds for 0-2000ft, 12 for 2000-4000, 13 for 4000-6000, and 14 for 6000-8000.
The real question is, do you pack the fish raw or precook fish? I find raw pack far superior in flavor, probably because all the fat is still in the can, not cooked out into the bottom of a pan first.

90 minutes at 10# works for us.
Try this, bury a few whole garlic cloves in the Tuna or add a thick slice of onion on top before putting the lid on.
Grab a jar of Tuna, a few Triscuit Crackers, Full Sail Amber and a Huskies/Ducklings or Huskies/"flat-tailed-rodents" game and then watch some Ducks get Plucked or Beavs get spanked !!!
Touchdown, DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
