    This is the one I'm using. Weighted gage only. About 60.00 bucks or so.

    Amazon wants $102.61 for them now. I haven't decided.

    Ouch! They went up.
    Probably cheaper at Walmart than Amazon. Looks for a used American pressure canner on Craigslist.

    We've got a 23 quart with gauge and rattle on it. I can still adjust lower pressure, but the rattle makes sure no boo-boo occurs.

    Prices have definitely increased. People at work are looking, and I'm amazed at the gouging...err..price changes.
    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.

    Ok I have a question.
    Say we run out of propane & cant get more.
    Can this be done over an open fire?
    No way to monitor/control temp...but if I can get it, and keep it, hot enough for the weighted gague to make the train sound for long enough - will that work?
    If so - I'd probably need to find one that didn't have plastic handles, etc.

    Any heat source that'll get it hot enough to boil will work. At sea level water will not get hotter than 212F no matter how much heat you put to it. As you raise the pressure the boiling point goes up. As long as you don't put so much heat under it that the steam can't escape fast enough to keep the pressure from getting too high it'll be ok.
