Too many close calls are precisely why my PC is PID and timer controlled!! No more babysitting my PC. But I guess it takes major damage or injury before some people learn how dangerous a PC can be...

When your PC starts running dry the rocker will slow down. But I only use maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water in 4 hours. If you put weight on your rocker with washers you will not use as much water. I bought 5 large washers from lowes that fit perfectly.

@SHROOMSISAY01
Just mention that PC must be controlled by a controller, otherwise adding extra weight will increase pressure and might be dangerous.

Either way, you have to control the temperature either by adjusting your stove or by a PID controller. It is not like you can put your PC on the stove and turn it on and forget about it. Well, you can but I think that is how this thread got started!! The extra weight on the rocker just keeps you from losing steam as quickly. So you will not lose as much water letting you run longer without replacing the water in your PC. Once you have the PC set you should check it every 15 minutes whether you have weight on the rocker or not. I use the PID so I don't have to babysit my PC I set the time and walk away and don't think about it for hours and by that time it is finished.

I thought you could have rockers with a weight for 5, 10 and 15 psi. So if you add weight to 15psi rocker you would make it more. If you have a controller it is not a problem because controller uses other means to measure the pressure meanwhile heavier rocker will prevent water loss.

But if you don't use a controller, you will just increase pressure depending on extra weight but this will not prevent loss of water.

Yes, that is correct. But you have to adjust your stove heat to keep the PC from going above the 15 psi. Even if you have the 15 psi weight on it you will have problems if you just leave the PC and do not adjust the temp. Maybe that is how this thread got started. Someone may have thought the 15 psi weight did all the work. You make the weight more but you have to adjust the psi by how much heat you put under the PC. If I leave the heat full blast my pc will reach 20 psi easily with the 15 psi weight on it. The only difference is I will lose more water and maybe blow up my house. So I use a heavier weight and less heat instead of lighter weight and more heat.

I would disagree here.
I think you can find a knob position on your stove that you don't have to adjust. In case of my stock electric stove it is 4th position (out of 6). Once it reaches 15psi rocker starts to rock and then pressure further reaches about 17psi with rocker constantly rocking and stays there. Kind of equilibrium.

The important thing here is to know amount of water loss per time. It my case it is 3.5 cups for 90min run.

I guess all of that is different with gas stoves as their control is analogue.

Ok, so you say it is position 4 out of 6. Then you have adjusted your stove to 4. Unless you have a magic stove that automatically goes to the right temp. You might know the correct position as I did when I used my stove But you have to adjust it. My point is that people run there PC's for much longer than 90 minutes and you will lose your water and end up damaging your PC if this happens. With a heavier weight, it is the same thing you just have to use less heat because you are losing less steam. Once you know the correct position you can set it but you should still check your PC every 15 mins or something like that or that is dangerous. You don't have to adjust it every 15 mins you should just check it to make sure everything is doing what it should be doing.

  I don't think you're supposed to disagree with the man,then prove his point in the next sentence! lol
  If you're constantly rocking at 17 you're losing more water than necessary. Btw ...what's kind of equilibrium?

So how do you lose water then? You lose water by steam escaping through the rocker port. More weight stops the escape of water/steam through the rocker port. You are arguing against a point I have already proven and not only me but many other people have proven that you lose less water with more weight. In 3 to four hours I would lose like 4 inches of water now I lose maybe 1 inch if that.

Yes! Provided that you control the process via a controller. But if you put more weight without a controller, then you will just increase the pressure. That is the point I want to make. In your original post you did not mention about controller and that might mislead people.

I don't understand how you can not get it. No heat no pressure. You control the pressure with the amount of heat. Just because you have more weight does not mean you have more pressure. You adjust the heat to where you have 15 psi it does not matter how the heat is adjusted you can use a controller or you can do it by hand. Once the heat is stabilized it will stay at 15 psi just as if you only use the 15 psi weight with no adjustments and you will lose less water. I don't think you have a problem understanding. I think you have a problem with being wrong. Well, let me help you out. YOU ARE WRONG!!
I am not trying to be harsh. Next time you use your PC tape some quarters to the rocker and you will see you can adjust the stove by hand and get it to 15 psi and you will lose less water.

This is quite simple not sure how it became a debate haha. The weight realeases steam above 15psi. Steam is water lol. You lose steam, you lose water. If you add a little weight TO your rocker, then your steam release threshold is now a few psi more, lets say 17 or 18. This does not mean you will get a false reading or will now be running at that psi. It will def prevent alot of water loss bc 15psi no longer vents. You just need to keep it at the sweet spot manually. Prettttty simple. Cool trick too Im gonna do that.

Suppose I have 6 position stove where position #4 is the first position that reaches 15psi. But it also strong enough to go more, so if I put more weight -- it WILL go more.

Thus I have 2 choices:
1. As you said -- sit next to it and switch between 4 and 3 every 5-10min so it does not steam.
2. Know my water loss and add water accordingly, put on #4, once it starts whistle put timer and wait without a need to check every "15 min".

I don't know how it became a debate either. Just so you know it will still vent but you will no longer get the rocking motion. At least I don't with 5 washers. It will actually be easier to regulate because there is no rocking it is just a steady slow release of steam.

Trust me I have been doing this too long. once you adjust it to 15 psi no more adjustments should be needed. You should check your PC every little while to just make sure everything is ok. But you should be checking your PC every little while anyway whether you have extra weight or not. Yes, you will use less heat but not a hole lot less heat.

I just said that it might mislead some people it they put the extra weight on a PC without controller. Then they will really be sitting next to it and constantly adjusting.

My burner went out on my controller/PID so I had to wait until I could get another burner. I use my PC with the extra weight on my regular stove for over a week. It was easier to adjust because you don't have the rocking motion as much if at all so you get A steady release from the rocker port. I made one or two adjustments to keep it at 15 psi and I run for at least 3 hours each time.

I don't know the weight and I just 3d printed another plastic top for the rocker and epoxied it in. But it does not matter just get 5 of the cheapest washers you can get that fit inside the plastic piece of your rocker. Then you can add or subtract as you see fit. Like I said I use 5 and I think you will only want to go down in weight if you don't like using 5.

They are about 16 gauge in thickness. If you know anything about metal thickness. I would assume all the fender washers are about the same thickness.

:facepalm: Man I didn't mean to cause an argument.

I can solve this just go to an autoclave, they don't release any steam if temp is correct.😁 Basically this is what Shrooms is doing, modified hybrid autoclave/weighted cooker.

I set mine at 255F because 15 psi should be around 250F. So I give it a 5-degree buffer. It was actually easy to make but you have to have a 220/240 volt line to hook it up to. I used my dryer line to run it off of. but I can't dry cloths and run my PC at the same time. Because it is only a 30 amp line.

Yeah let me just pawn a kidney and Ill get on that autoclave advice lol



My AA 941 is considered an autoclave. Meaning there is no rocker/ steam release. It has 2 pressure relief valves they release around 20 psi. So any AA can be used with the same valve  .Some companies won't sell you one for a smaller AA, just tell them it is for a 941 .
i replaced a valve last year, I believe Out Grow is where
I got it ( yep ,just looked $16.95) So you can keep your kidney.😆

I set mine at 255F because 15 psi should be around 250F. So I give it a 5-degree buffer. It was actually easy to make but you have to have a 220/240 volt line to hook it up to. I used my dryer line to run it off of. but I can't dry cloths and run my PC at the same time. Because it is only a 30 amp line.





So hypothetically, if the pressure relief valve got stuck. It could maintain 250F but get above rated pressure. Wouldn't it still blow eventually.

Just trying to get my head around it.

The pressure cooker will go above 250F if it is not hooked up to a PID controller and the vent port and the overpressure plug get blocked. Water will not go over 212F without pressure. This also depends on where you are as far as sea level. In other words, if your pressure goes up your heat goes up. Yes, it will blow eventually.

All pressure cookers should have a Rubber Overpressure Plug. The overpressure plug should pop out if it gets too much pressure. If the plug is blocked however you potentially have a bomb on your hands. The easiest way to stop the plug from getting blocked is to buy another rack that your bags or jars sit on and use that with a small weight on top of your bags. The only thing that can block the plug would be the bag so if you keep it from being able to block the plug you will be fine...

These are for a presto 23 quart if you have a different one you will have to look them up for your model.

As pressure increases temperature increases.This is why pressure cookers are used. 15 psi at sea level is 250°F .The reverse is also true as temperature increases pressure will increase. Without relief of some kind they are a possible bomb. Always make sure, especially with bags that can expand , that saftey and relief valves are never blocked.

So this is what I did:


I attached 2 coins.
Pressure went up to 20psi, I had to manually lift the weight to bleed it a bit. Then I had to sit and switch between 3 and 4 and back every 12-14 min, acting as a controller.

So I still stand behind what I said:
This is dangerous, do not do it unless you want to act as a controller.

The only plus is that there is no noise.

This is quite simple not sure how it became a debate haha. The weight realeases steam above 15psi. Steam is water lol. You lose steam, you lose water. If you add a little weight TO your rocker, then your steam release threshold is now a few psi more, lets say 17 or 18. This does not mean you will get a false reading or will now be running at that psi. It will def prevent alot of water loss bc 15psi no longer vents. You just need to keep it at the sweet spot manually. Prettttty simple. Cool trick too Im gonna do that.




It's quite simple if you ignore density and internal energy differences between steam released at 15psi and steam released at 18psi.

How do you still not get it lol.

For fucks sake

You have a 5-10-15 weight. If you put the 15 pound on but run your PC at 10psi it won't make noise and will lose almost no water

We put a little weight on the rocker so we can run them at 15 psi with no noise or water loss but they'll vent at 17-19 psi.

Running at 15 with the 15 weight is fine too if you like some noise and more water loss

Nothing to do with needing a controller.

Here we go again.
Please elaborate how exactly will you run it at 15psi with little weight on the 15psi rocker?
Without controller.

And I hope you personally do not act as a controller by adjusting the heat?

Stove dial bro

Don't leave things on your stove unattended anyway...

I drew a mushroom next to the setting on my stove dial where its nearly set and forget though. Might need to barely touch the dial 3-4 times over two hours

Best investment I never made was a propane burner sitting in the garage.  That variable gas dial IS a controller!  If you can't add some weight to a 15psi weight and find a sweet spot with one of those you need to dial back your operation!!

  Plus what little hissing there may be is now silently outside.

It is very simple you have to figure out where your stove will keep it at 15 psi without adjustments. Sounds like it will be about 3.5 on your stove even running is a little higher at 18 or 20 psi is fine but I would keep it as close to 15 psi as possible.


Or just build a hot plate as I did from an old stove from craigslist. Even if you have to buy the parts from amazon it will be like $50 for the PID and the burner. It will save you so much time it is well worth it!!

Ill run one presto on the stove. One on the kitchen floor and a 25x on the counter



Oh no monoxide. Propane burns clean if it gets air.
