Brian, you can use any pressure cooker as long as it is high enough pressure. I think some guys cook them at 10 pounds instead of 15 like I do. I don't know what difference it makes. The big pressure cookers are sold specifically as "pressure canners." A small one just can't fit that many jars and are mainly used just for cooking. You just have to make sure there is a small metal rack or something on the bottom so the jars are not right on the bottom of the canner or they will supposedly crack.

I absolutely hate walmart, but they carry canners and jars. About the only place I know to get the jars in SD. Not all walmarts even carry the canning jars and lids. I know the one on Aero drive did last year, and the one off the 805 in Clairemont has the stuff. The one near lemon grove did not have the canning equipment as of last year. If anyone knows a better place to get supplies post up. I am sure you can get stuff online, but I am too impulsive and hate the wait when I have fresh fish.
