buying a brand new PC today, advice???

Ok years ago I spent 150$ for a Mirro(7quart) PC, and while it did work pretty well for awhile, over time, I came to hate it.
Not shocking then that I would find lots of people online bitching about mirro PC's.
Today I have about 200-250$ to spend on a PC, what should I get???
The prices wont be as much of a problem this time, as I will be going to Canadian Tire, and I think Homehardware was overcharging. But I will go to other stores if I have to, or I will head to the next town over which has a much bigger mall.
I borrowed a PC with a gauge on it for awhile, and wow was that sweet.
What PC should I get???? (I will go as high as 250$Canadian if I have too)
THANKS!

This is what I bought not too long ago. Its an 18 Quart Presto and I found new for 80 shippped. Look around for a bit for a good price on it. It has proven very successful for me. Of course if you really WANT to spend 200, grab an All-American Pressure Cooker.

If you plan on doing a lot of cultivating in the near future, I wouldn't go any smaller than 22 quarts. I don't know the currency exchange rate, but you can pick up a 22 quart Mirro or 23 quart Presto for less than $100.00 US shipped.
I can see why you hated your other Mirro, as 7 quarts is pretty damn small. I own a 22 quart Mirro and while it does work good, I wish I would have thrown down for an All-American PC.

I would reccomend trying your luck at visiting a few resale shops or goodwills in your area. If you can't find one for a few bucks, then buy a new one. I lucked out and got a 22 qt from a retail shop for free. Looked like it was made in the 50's but it works great.

Buy one with a higher PSI that way it will take you less time to sterlize

All American PC. Metal-to-metal seal, built to last your lifetime and then one. One of the few "American made" products I will vouch for.
I still have my 4 quart mirro for doing LC's. The one thing about having a giant PC is that it takes a long time to spool up, which is a pain for smaller projects. You may want to pick up a smaller PC for the side.

You can say that again. It takes at least 1-1 1/2 hours just to get up to pressure. That's on my kitchen stove. When I PC in the garage with a hot plate that number will sky rocket to 2 hours.

Well, what a fucking waste of time trying to shop for a PC was, Zellers, didn't have any, from what I could tell, but i got the hell out of there pretty quick, because I used to work there, and I don't like being followed while I shop.
Geez, I was always a pretty decent guy when I was there, why do they always think I am going to come back and steal from them, tongue.gif Maybe it was the giant guitar bag, or the month old beard, whatevr fuck em (Remember kids....a bread means your lazy and lack character )
At Canadian Tire, they were remolding, which made everything extra lame, I found and "Intelligent PC" thats electronic, and pretty small, open the box, and nowhere does it say how high it goes(PSI), I find a shitty Jasi, same thing, no listing.
The first time I asked if I could open a box, then next time I just yanked it open. (I know I'm so hardcore ) Tore the plastic open and everything to get at the instructions devil.gif
I left, but not before getting some verm, a150watt compact fluorescent, and another spray bottle, I hate shopping, I always know what I want to buy when I leave the house, I don't wander around shopping, and I hate going from store to store looking for shit, every PC I saw was crap, so tomorrow, I'm calling around before I go anywhere........I may have to take the bus out of town for a good PC.
I did see some filters and humidifiers there at Canadian-Tire, and I almost picked up one of each, but on the way home, I stopped at the Sally Ann(thrift store) and picked up a humidifier for 10$, and then I got a brand new clean filter to go in it for another 10$, plus an awsome little reflector for 3$. SCORE!
So Ebay is starting to seem like a much cooler idea now. And a 30$ shipping plus 20-30$ PC =50-60, so ya, maybe Ebay.
