#10 Canner
 

I got lucky today! I happened upon a #10 canner. (needs just a little work)

Does anyone know where I can purchase the cans?

I am looking forward to being able to do this myself :)

thanks in advance

Call your local LDS Cannery. You can get them there. ;0)

Just so happens thats where I went dumpster diving to get it.

They do have the cans at a very reasonable price.

They are about an hour away. I was just thinking delivery to my home

my be easier, but the best pricing I found was almost double the cost

of the storehouse. As a side observation I was surprised to see the

inventory so low they limited the amount we could purchase.

No bulk wheat! And they will not take orders. Its on a first come basis

with limits.

Speaking of canners, this one looks like it might get the job done. :wink:

I've located quite a few canners, but haven't found wholesale sources for #10 cans.

This is a link to the one I acquired, it is missing the bottom support plate.

I think a machine shop should be able to make one fairly easy.

Should be more that adequate.

Coool , looks like it might do the trick , and no 3phase power, but if I had to get a bigger canner that ran on 3phase I could always use one of my diesel generators. Many times it's cheaper to use a generator instead of a phase converter if your shop isn't wired for 3phase.

I'm interested to learn more about purchasing cans.
