I have been searching all over for a pressure canner to can my vegetables this year. If you know of anyone that has one they are not using, and would like to sell, please let me know. I am looking for an older one that is made of heavy metal. The new ones in the stores are a thin aluminum and not the same quality. I have been sharing one with my friend, but that is not working out all the convenient for us. So, I need my own.

Thanks for your help!


ps. tried ebay and craigslist.... keep getting out bid at the last minute. :-(
