Not as fancy as I imagine HBARs set up is but we got the job done. 90 cans sealed and stored.

What is this caner brand name - and what would be a recommended caner to pickup? I figure #10 would be the max size I would use; and it would be nice to can smaller items...Quote:

A few years back they stopped wet pack canning at the Aurora facility. Mostly due to lack of use and expenses. Now the dry pack is in the same boat. It is cheaper for them to pre package most items at a central location and than ship it out to all the other canneries. That is the main reasons for the transitions.
I'm a slacker for not responding quicker. This is the home canner the LDS shop lets you borrow for a week. There were no markings anywhere on it to indicate a make or model. If I had to bet I'd say they made it themselves.Quote:

Well don't I feel like a tool. For 1300 I'd probably pass and get a manual one for less dough if I was in the market.Quote:

What's the deal, short filling those cans? Top them off.Quote:

Thanks for the source for the caner. I had hoped it would be somewhat cheaper than http://www.amazon.com/All-American-S.../dp/B001DHN2CW and be a bit more flexible in can size.
