agreed with RR on everything.
I run mine at 20 psi, but I also start with Hot water. I kick the thing on while i am still covering my jars with tyvek. by the time i'm done it's getting hot. Slap the lid on and wait 20 min.
also, now I don't cover jars with Aluminum foil while pc'n.

The main problem with the 941 is it's so damn heavy on your stove burner, and with many of the smaller, cheap-ass made in mexico and china ranges today, it's impossible to position it where the burner is in the center of the PC.
The 25X and 75X plug into a wall outlet, so you don't have that problem. The sterilizers also have a thermostat, so you can set them and go watch a movie without constantly being there to adjust your stove burner through the cycle. I run my 75X at 20 psi. RR
and...
the 941 and 930 AA's are fricken huge... so make sure that you have enough space above your stove to use one.
My Range hood/microwave is so low that I can't use a 941 on my stove. I can barely get a 930 under there...

thanks roadkill i didn't think of that, now that i do it is going to be quite a aqueeze for the aa941. thats it you guys are a-holes. you must all be reps. for a.a. or sumpthin. i cant believe it but you guys have convinced me to drop $800 dollars on a steralizer. i hope your happy cuz i'm feeling kinda sick about it, and at the same time i've got a raging boner! this is how much more $ i need: i'll hopefully be purchasing it on tuesday! thanks! if it wasn't for you guys i'd be stuck with a p.c. that wouldn't fit on my stove:(

just 1 other thing. do i need the stand for it? cant i just put it on top of some scrap 2x10 or something?
i cant believe there is such a wide range of prices on these allamericans. i've found this thing ranging between $719-$1200 minus shipping and stand! wow! thats a hell of a differance for the same exact model!

and I'd hate for anyone to buy a large pc and it not fit on their stove cause of the range hood being too low.
It's something I never thought of at the time I was looking to purchase one.

The stand looks cool, but yes you can use a couple of 2X4s if you want. Otherwise, it can warp or loosen the glue on your countertop or melt the flooring in your kitchen. A piece of styrofoam insulation would probably work on the bottom too. I got the stands because they make it nice and neat and not an eyesore. RR

It was most definitely going through my head when purchasing my first AA PC. Also the fact that my stove sucks balls and i have already ruined 2 burners with my 7 quart jar Mirro/Presto PC's.
Shit, these barely fit under there.

Oatman I seriously hate you.. that AA is a goddess! Shes outa your league man!! She must have been really fat and ugly when she was younger and her self esteem hasnt caught up to her beauty yet hahaha jk man nice work!
I wish I had enough money to invest in something like that but for me and the methods I employ (I primarily work with large bags these days.. lots of volume, long pc times..) its much more economical to have 4 23qt prestos.. thats 92 qts of sterilizing bad assedness for the low low price of $280 .. Plus I caught it on the late night special and they threw in a life-time supply of Sham wows!! Take that Oatman! lol
If only we cound work out a PC time-share on some bad ass models.. ala Agars Big Bertha (probably spent an entire day polishing that bad boy like a 64 vette!!) http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5448787#5448787.. get up about 10 of us and each get it 1 week every other month hahaha.. speaking of Agar.. anyone heard from the ol hand lately!?!? I PMed him over a month ago and still havent heard back :/

@ blutjager.. I feel your pain man.. used to have one of the ceramic top stoves at my old place.. worst part was it would take almost 2 hrs to get a single damn 23 qt presto up to 15 psi.. and on top of an already 1 1/2 hr sub bag cook time would damn near take all day to get anything sterile

I hear Agar went to that great gig in the sky. But I am not for sure.
just having the stealthiness of the 75X has alone cut my precious time in 1/2. I can literately have company over, and just sneak away when the timer hits to turn my unit off.
This alone is allowing me multiple PC sessions when I didn't have the chance. Absolutely wonderful!

Really?!? Thats horrible to hear I hope thats not the case.. but in regards to the pressure cooker, Ive never seen an AA in action and was unaware of that... So not even a smell when pcing mass amounts of grains?!? i cannot begin to count the amount of times ive been in the middle of a pc session and a neighbor or somebody pulled a Kramer and was undoubtably wondering wtf was going on

I haven't heard this... where did you hear this from?
RR and I checked public records awhile back, for a death certificate and nothing came up. We did find a marriage license, it seems he married his girlfriend Kim.
I did hear from his son on 11/20/08... that Agar had a bad stroke... so bad he could not even talk or feed himself for awhile... and that the stroke affected his memory, and mobility.

Sorry Road, That's why I said I was not sure,
I have heard others in retrospect but never heard an actual confirmation of anything. Why aren't we hearing from Tippi?
Everything I hear is unfortunate, his posts were always inspiring, and one of the reasons I was able to stick to this hobby.
