Well since we can't fish this weekend we are canning. You know how boring it is baby sitting a canner, so come keep us awake from 1pm to 3pm on Saturday July 21st. You may bring a beverage of your choice and a lawn chair as we will be confined to the garage and drive way.

I'm not going to put you to work, but come talk tuna or just have a brew.

I didn't really want to call it a TA meeting even though we are all jones'ing to get back out, and since those are usually at some reputable location other than my den of inequity

HiTekRdNek, Hoggemin and I will be manning the canners and the smoker last count was around 7 canners at one stage or another and probably more fish than we know what to do with.

Broken Halo is in the Kegerator - $1 a pint on your honor

If you have not been to the lumber yard and wish to attend - drop me a PM - we're in Tigard not far from Home Depoe

Guys,

Just a warning. My new canner came with a nice yellow paper warning

"Do no use a propane burner like for a turkey cooker, or any propane burner over 15000 BTU".

I'm guessing someone had a problem that prompted the warning. Just something to think about.

So got my first canner and did it in the house...whew.
Are you guys using a coleman stove outside? Perhaps starting it on the crab cooker and transfering to coleman when at pressure?

My father has an electric stove out in the shop we usualy use, but I have used my turkey cooker for both the entire process, and just bringing the pot to a boil. My turkey burner has a metal deflector that can be adjusted to bring the heat down to a level that will maintain the 11-12 PSI in my 23 quart canners.

I think one of the big 2 or 3 burner propane camp stoves would be ideal but I dont own one.

Like the idea of elevating the cooker with bricks too. anyway doing it outside would be great because you can burn your tuna clothes at the same time!!!
