I am going to try canning some chicken. I have a presto canner that has the weighted gauge instead of the actual dial gauge. I am trying to figure out what weight the gauge/bobber thing is that I have, and trying to figure out exactly what I should do. I plan to do pints, I have about 12 pounds with bones, so probably 8-10 after I debone them?
Ok, my main questions are:
What weight is my gauge? 10 lbs or 15? It is part number 28-077. I am figuring it is 15 lb, but I am not sure. I can find pictures of it on google, but can't track down any that say which it is. I was hoping someone on here might have the same one and know what it is.
It is one piece, it does not come apart. I know there are some that look nearly identical; and those come apart. This is two pieces, the knob(the black part), and the main body.
Do I need 10 lbs, or 15 lbs? Can I use this gauge, or do I need a different one? I live at around 1000 feet above sea level, if that makes a difference.
I will do some more reading and watching youtube videos probably before I do it, but any advice would be great!
Thanks!
