Big Canner Holds 40 Quart Jars

Big Canner Holds 40 Quart Jars FARM HOME Food It really speeds up fruit and vegetable processing says Chad Travis Drasco Ark who used his plasma torch and 16-ga stainless steel to make the 2-level canner that holds 40 1-quart jars The canner measures 22 in long 17 in wide and 16 1/2 in high and is divided by a stainless steel rack that sets inside the container The rack is divided into 10 compartments that each hold 2 jars The canner has a handle at each end and a metal lid The bottom and sides of the canner form a single piece and are welded to end pieces The rack is supported by U-shaped metal legs that fit over the sides of the box It really works great for canning low-acid fruits such as pears tomatoes and pickles that don t require a lot of pressure during the cooking process says Travis Using a canner that can hold 40 quart jars saves a lot of time The canner weighs more than 200 lbs when full so it s too big and heavy to use on a standard cook stove Instead I use it outdoors over a wood fire and bring the water to a boil I leave the jars in the canner and replace them as each batch is done cooking Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Chad Travis 574 Greers Ferry Rd Drasco Ark 72530 ph 870 668-3400
