Ever since we started prepping and canning I have been thinking of the best ways to can outdoors if need be.

Colman stoves are out of the question do to the weight of a loaded canner, On a grate with a fire under it would be a choir just tending to the fire but will work, so we planed on using your gas grill... it would probably work ok but it wouldn't be very efficient.

Today I was on a forum board and a member posted that Bass Pro Shop online has a propane cooker w/ 10.5 qt aluminum pot onsale for $29.97 and $5 shipping so I went to Bass Pro's web site to see what he was talking about.

Well Eureka!!!



After looking into more I found that they're mainly used for shellfish boils (a way to boil a large amount of water) and also turkey frying and I'm not the only one out there that has thought of using it for canning.
