Thanks guys.
I did a trial run at 15 pounds for about 30 minutes and everything functions properly.
The first time the pressure relief valve went off it scared the devil out of me.
You basically set the thing for whatever pressure you want.
If it goes up about 4 pounds higher it pops up and releases some steam till it get back down to whatever pressure you want.
Plus you adjust the burner so it doesn't go off all of the time.
Worked like a champ.
I need to find something for the bottom to set the jars on.
It will hold 7 pints 4 quarts and I dont know how many half pints.
Of course like any pressure canner you can also water bath with it.
I need to order a new gauge for it and am looking for a nice brass one to go with the antique look.
