    Lady, the canner in the Video is an All-American. I can't quite tell the model, but I can tell you they are spendy. But they are the Rolls Royce of pressures canners.

    ETA. You can find them on many survival gear pimp websites or here

    Your welcome Katrina, There has been allot of flat tops broken due to the weight of a fully loaded 22qt canner. How it happens?... who knows it might be the temp + weight + a dropped something on the surface but it has happened.

    The Bass Pro sale is just for the Propane Cooker/Burner less the tank only. If you want to can on it you need to supply your own Pressure Canner or Water Bath Canner depending on the acid content in your foods.

    I actually went last night (in the middle of the night...half asleep) and found them at I do believe All American and you are right, they are expensive. There are 2 models that are made for the propane tank. One is over $400 and the other is over $600. (pressure canner only) then the stand it goes on that connects to the propane tank is another $120.
    I was almost thinking that one of those would be good to use in my summer kitchen instead of a full sized gas range but actually the range would be just as cheap plus I would get more burners to use at the same time. It was a good thought though.
    I apologize for nothing...

    .
    From what I have read, the problem is that most canners are larger than the heating "ring" on the stove and the high temps on the glass that is outside of the ring is too high and can crack the glass. My stove actually has a burner that I can chose to have a normal size burner area or I can also push a button to enlarge the area to accomodate the large pots and pans so I guess that is why I can use my pressure canner on my flat top. Also, my canner has a flat bottom so the temps do not fluctuate either since the whole pot makes contact with the stove. those are considerations you have to look at, it depends on your stove and it's features as to whether you can use a pressure canner.
    I apologize for nothing...

    We can outside, on the back porch, exclusively. We have been doing it for several years. The stove that we us is a Camp Chef Yukon. It has three burners that develop 30,000 BTU's on each burner. The controls are fully adjustable from full blast to VERY low. We use our water bath canner out there and also our All American 30 qt pressure canner.

    A link to the stove is here:

    Tahoe Triple Burner Cooker - Camp Chef - The Way to Cook Outdoors

    We originally purchased the stove for camping, but it gets a workout all year round.

    We keep LOTS of propane stored so we have never run out. We have bottles ranging from 25lb to 100lb.

    Oh yeah, we found our All American canner on Craig's list for $100.00. One of the best investments that we have made. Going to take the plunge this year and get a new one so we can have one going on the stove and one getting loaded up. There is more than enough room on the stove to keep two of these monsters going at the same time.

    ID is that stove strong enough to hold 3 big cookers? In the pic the legs don't look like it is.

    How big are you asking?

    With the size of the cook top, I can fit two 21 Quart Water Bath Canners or two All American 30 Quart Pressure Canners. If the stove top was, oh, lets say 6-8 inches wider, we could fit a canner over each burner.

    The legs are strong enough to withstand two fully filled (they say 19 pint jars, but I only use 18 pint jars) 30 Quart Pressure canners. I haven't weighed one that is full, but since I pack them from the kitchen out to the back porch, where the stove is, and back, I know that the things are damned heavy!

    Especially when we are canning meat, with all of the cutting, packing jars, etc, 2 canners keeps me jumpin'!

    Hope that answers your question.
