How many quart canning jars will this hold?

Probably 5-6. I use it to brew beer no I'm not 100%, but that's my best guess for its size.

8 quart jars. You will also have to have a very thin rack to keep them off the bottom, as you need to have 1" water over the tops of the jar lids to process them in a boiling water bath, and another inch above that to keep the water from boiling over, and the pot isn't all that deep. You can also process 1 layer of pint jars, but not 2 layers -- pot isn't deep enough.

I haven't tried canning however, my guess is 4 to 5 quarts at least. This cooker is really big and it holds a lot.

Yes, this will hold (7) 1/2 Gallon Ball Jars easily, and that is with the included rack in the canner, and lid on it. Like the others had commented, I do not think that you can get an inch of water over the jars, although in my experience you dont really need it, and funny how ball makes the jars, but gives no recipies for using these large jars! I'm sure the jars will still seal even if they are not completely covered. I would not recommend trying to move it while it is full though! There are no handles, and I do not use mine in the house, I use it in the garage over a propane stove. Good Luck!

It is designed for 3 one-pint jars. You can't (or at least I can't) fit 3 quart jars in it. You might put 2 one quart jars in it, but then you'd need a pot high enough.

I don't think a quart sized jar would fit standing up, but I guess you could lay them down. Probably could fit 2 in there laying down. I believe the lowest temp setting would be 100 degrees

My wife told me that it appears to be tall enough to hold the 1/2 gallon jars but she does not use that size so she does not know how many it will hold. Sorry

Hi, it could hold 6 quart, but when you cook you need to fill it up with 1 quart less (Instruction manual says it is for safety)

I placed quart canning jars, a mix of brands , into the pot and put 7 in with a little room between them; BUT I would not use 7 because the boiling water won't have enough room to circulate properly around the jars.

yes we have an All American Pressure Canner 15 1/2 qt holds 7 quart jars and this is what we used to replace the gauge and it works great.

One quart. If you're looking to make larger batches in the future, this is not the jar to get. I bought this one for a girlfriend as a starter kit.

Fewer would fit, naturally, but the height of the canner would allow 1/2 gallon jars, so I would say it is possible. I haven't tried 1/2 gallon jars and the instructions in the manual only give times for quart and pints.

The amount of volume the jar will hold has nothing to do with which size you get. Canning jars come in two standard sizes, called "regular" & "wide mouth". Those names refer to the size of the opening at the top of the jar. There are both pint (16 oz) & quart (32 oz) jars in both regular & wide mouth sizes.

no, this is for regular mouth canning jars only. These jars are 1 quart jars not larger.

Yes, this works great for 4 oz jars. If you have two racks, you can stack them. I canned 16 4 oz jars in one batch last summer.

I would think so, it will hold 6 or 8 quart jars. Not sure if half gallon jars will fit properly in the metal rack that comes with it for pint and quart jars. Personally, I would not buy this item again. It's too big, too heavy, will not fit properly on a large size burner. It has no handles because when filled with water it is so heavy, handles would break off.
