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.

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

Re: Tuna Canning Open Session

I used my propane burner "crab cooker" type this week and it is very very hot. I had a hard time keeping the pressure below 14lbs. I ended up putting some bricks on the sides of the burner grate and sitting the pressuer cooker on them. The extra height allowed the pressure to drop and it stayed in the 10-14lbs range. Even then I had the gas turned down to its lowest level. I had to watch it like a hawak! If you are using these types, please be carful! I need to come up with a better way of doing this.
