    What are you canning now?

    shortgrass, I have one of those camper stoves as well. Works great for my canning, and the house doesn't get all hot. Still have to carry the jars back and forth, but the exercise won't kill me I guess!

    What are you canning now?

    It's more like a two burner turkey cooker I'd say, it's on a stand about 30' high, runs on 1 propane tank, it's really sturdy, doesn't wobble at all. there's a metal wind screen that you can take off for the larger pots

    What are you canning now?

    rancher hicks, we bought one of the 2 burner stoves from Bass Pro this spring. It works great both to process the chickens and also for canning (I was afraid that I'd ruin my glass top stove by canning on it) Yesterday was the first time I used both burners at the same time, one for salsa in...

    Canning Green Beans

    I cold pack my green beans. They do not turn out mushy, you might try that next time. But then I don't like frozen green beans, they never taste done to me so it might just be a personal preference and you will end up freezing yours. Good luck.

    Processing some roosters today. Couple of questions.

    My water bath canner is big enough to do a 7 lb bird. I do have to turn the bird over a couple of times to get to all parts.

    Processing some roosters today. Couple of questions.

    I've tried to dry pluck a chicken before and it was not easy. I had only one to do and didn't want to set up my scalding pot. It was so hard to do that I just ended up skinning it instead. I use my water bath canner so didn't have to buy a new pot. If you have 4 or 5 to do, I'd recommend...

    What are you canning now?

    We processed some extra roosters this weekend and I canned them. Got 8 quarts of chicken and 4 quarts of broth, going to take the ideas I learned here and fill up the rest of the space in the canner with some red beans for chili. If I'm sittting in front of the canner for 90 minutes, it's...

    Bees or not to bees

    We added 2 hives to our property this spring. Have had the bees for 2 weeks now. I saw the article about the guineas too. So far we have not had any problem with the bees and the chickens. The chickens wander around the section where the hives are but don't seem to pay any attention to the bees.

    Chicken coop height and Code Enforcement

    Sometimes if you don't get the required permit, they can make you tear the structure down and start over. I'd hate to have to do that. Is there anyway you could make it a little shorter so you wouldn't have to get a permit?
