I just had a friend drop off an old All American 15 1/2 quart Pressure cooker that his family hasn't used in years. He said that it has been stored away and he was glad to give it to me for making sauces. All he wanted in return is a nice sampling of my creations, as he is a fellow chili-head. What a deal! I have been on All American's web site before and am planning on replacing the gage and relief valve as these are easily replaced. Looking at the stamped number, 7, I believe that this is an old one, but still looks to be in excellent shape.
WOOT...I'm in business now!!!

Holy smoke. I thought all I needed was a canner, now I have a full shopping list. 
I wonder why the pic I posted is a red X now?? HHHMMMM I will find another pic.....Lets try this again (and this food press looks more like mine)
I think thats one reason home canning has fallin by the wayside in the recent years. It can be quite expensive at first but once you have all that you need, a majority of the things are reuseable so you spend the money once and you have it.
My biggest problem is the lack of storage! I don't have a basement so I store my canned stuff where ever I can lol.
