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.

Yes it does. Just thought by looking at it that the legs on the stove weren't strong enough to hold all the pots that would be full and heavy. Thanks ID.
