Buying a PC, want an opinion....

I've been doing some shopping online for a PC. I will definately go All American since Ive heard nothing but good things about them. Anyone have a good place to buy one? Right now I am leaning towards their website because I am willing to pay a little extra to make sure I have a warranty. Any advice or things I should know before I pull the trigger? Tall ones, fat ones? When they say it can fit 12 or whatever quart jars is that definate? Or can I squeeze some more? Some opinions would be cool. Thanks

ive been wanting to buy a pressure cooker for some time now (since last year) but mainly want it to can me chile peppers every fall after harvest. spending $300+ on an All American is definitely out of the question. today i happened to find that Canadian Tire has a Fresco 9L on sale for $37.50 so i think im gonna pick that up tomorrow.
*hint hint* if any canucks out there are looking for a cheap pressure cooker.

I love my AA 921.

Yeah, there must be a reason why the AA is must more expensive. You get what you pay for. I just liked the warranty part.....But I was wondering if I should get a taller one...wider one...I will be using quart jars and bags eventually....I was thinking that maybe there is something I dont know or I havent thought of...

I don't have a stove that has a flame....I have an electric one where the burner gets red hot. Is this ok? I am so used to my electric cooker that is horseshit....Just worried about it being to heavy for my burner

i emailed them regarding the shipping cost and they said the USPS to my house would be $78.54 which brings my total to $319.53... and then i gotta worry about import duties. still a little over my budget.

I've got an AA930 & wouldn't trade her for anything...other than a 941 or a 75x.
I can put At Least 12 quart jars in it. I just started experimenting w/ standing my second level of jars up during the process. I think I can get 13 in it that way.

You can get 14 jars in your AA930. I do it all the time. Stand them up. The tricky part is getting the tray in the bottom the right height to allow for enough water during a 90 minute run, but keeping it low enough the top jars don't prevent the lid from closing properly.

Thanks Yutaka. I don't worry about a little water touching the bottom of my jars. Besides, I can put in 5 cups of water w/out it hitting the bottoms of the jars. Good to know. I don't really have a reason to do 14 jars at a time, just 10, but whatever. Might start having a few extra around for shits & giggles.
