I just picked up an All American 75x pressure sterilizer. I am using Ghost Piper/Renegade Mushrooms LC recipe and technique. How can I go about stacking pint jars in the PC? I did a test first run with 8 pint jars across the inner liner. I know it is a 41 quart/39 liter capacity. What steps/additions to the inside do I need to make to safely add more jars?

Can you show a photo inside your PC with 1 layer of pint jars?

Do you place the jars on top of each other? Or do you need a second rack to layer another set of jars?

I place 8 on the trivet, 1 center and 7 around it. Then I place 8 more directly on top of those off setting the centers of the outer ring of jars from the ones below. 3qts/2750ml of water goes a little less than half way up the bottom layer of jars.
This is 16 wide mouth pints with modified lids in a Presto 23. No foil. Never had a failed jar since I started using this method. Not exactly the same as your set up, but hope it helps. Don't think I have a picture of that, but I could take one in a while as I am running another batch in a few hours.

Awesome, thanks for that. Most I can find online is about pressure canning and every video made mention of a second trivet to avoid jars touching.

No worries. Mine touch each other, the walls, plastic lid to glass bottom, everything. When I did quarts, I would even stack in the last three on their sides, like many people do. It is not a problem for the glass or lids to touch things.
With bags you have to be more cautious about touching the sides if you use a high gas flame because the sides can get hot enough to melt them. But I don't think you will even have that problem with an AA. Those things are beasts.

Nice!
Yeah you can either wedge jars in the spaces between the bottom layer of jars or you can carefully stack them like a pyramid inside the PC. Another option is getting a trivet to seperate the jars but will be kinda tricky finding one that is just the right diameter of your PC.

I've stacked 20 in there like this, I imagine I can stuff more in.


And here is 27. Would either of these cause issues?

Can you get the top on the PC when the jars have lids? If you can do that without applying any additional force, then it looks you are good to go. Some types of jar lids take a bit more room than others. But as long as they don't interfere with the safety devices on the top of the pc, you are golden.

I'm using the handles of the inner basket as a guide since the sterilizer lid has to fit over those.

Foil only? I am not familiar with that tek or process. What are you cooking?

Sorry, not foil only. The Mason jar tops, with a SHIP and a vent. Then those covered with foil

I don't like to waste a PC cycle, so I fill mine. You can use a wire rack if you don't have a second trivet for in between the layers. Laying jars on their side is OK too. I use a blob of foil to keep them at an angle. A tea towel would work too - folded up.
Foil is to keep the lid from getting soaked with water. It also adds a bit of protection when coming out of the PC. I do not remove the foil on my jars until I am ready to use them.
I have also used three stainless carriage bolts with wing nuts onto my bottom trivet. That way I can adjust the trivet to allow the jars to stay up just out of the water. Makes the trivet more stable too.
I have not had problems with jars touching each other or the PC sides, but it is still a good idea to keep them apart to allow steam to circulate on all sides. They can be close, but I want the steam to get around the jars.
