Can this be used on an open flame gas range stove? if not, does anyone know of a high pressure canner that can be used on a gas stove?

Yes it can and works well I have a three burner Coleman camp stove the middle burner is in the middle and is for large pots and pans it works great need to learn how to adjust being there is no markings on the burner adjustment but with a little practice and some marking on the stove I was able to make this a snap and not have to worry also able to run this on the back porch so in the summer I do not heat up the kitchen and house. You can also purchase a single burner for propane or natural gas they come in different sizes.

Hello I have a Viking Residential/Commerical gas stove, it worked extremely well. That was my first time using a pressure cooker. I would strongly recommend purchasing this canner.

We have been using ours on a propane gas range and haven't had a problem. We love this canner and would buy another one in a heart beat. Hope this answers your question

I use mine on a gas stove. I use all brands of pressure canners on my gas stove. The grill for gas burners is suited to holding heavy canners. I also use a heavy water bath pan on my gas stove. It is the glass cook tops that can't handle canners of any kind. The All-Americans of all sizes can be used on gas cook stoves. I love my gas cook top because of the heavy cast iron grill that DOES hold these full canners.

You should not use this pressure cooker to can in. Please see: http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/uga/using_press_canners.html the recommendation is to only use a canner that you can fit 4 QUART jars in.

My neighbor, who does a lot of canning for her large family, uses a steam canner outside on a portable gas stove, so I would say yes you can use it on a gas stove.

Rediranch, This summer I was a beginner also. I LOVE this canner.....it is TOTALLY idiot proof (important for me). It is in fact HUGE! If they come any bigger I don't think we would be able to pick them up even when empty. It is very heavy duty. I only have 1. important note to self.....make sure the little "nitch" on the rim of the pot is facing YOU....this is very important because I can tell you from experience, it's hard to read the dial when it is facing the back of the stove. Depending on how big your kitchen sink is, it's a little difficult to wash but that is a small price to pay for this awesome canner. Hope this helps you.

the instruction book says; some glass stovetops may not produce enough heat/energy required for safe pressure canning-suggests not to use. hope that helps

If you're referring to the glass-type electric range, yes you can use the pressusre canner on it. I used to have a glass top range and canned every summer for several years on it. Hope this helps.

I just purchased one of these from Kmart and after cleaning it and getting ready to can, read the booklet that specifically states NOT to use on glass cooktop. I returned it for a refund and am now looking for a flat-bottomed canner that is no larger than 1 inch bigger than the burner on my cooktop. I am looking for a stainless steel one that will last. I'm shying away from the porcelain due to the porcelain overlay may cause damange to my cooktop. I read this in one of the reviews from this type.

Most definitely. Cast iron items were used on open flames by the pioneers. My sister uses it on her gas top stove all the time and loves the way food turns out. Nothing like cast iron.

If you attempt to "can" food in this cooker be absolutely sure you read the recipe you are using carefully. This cooker operates at 15 psi and cannot be reduced to 5 or 10 psi. If you live at an altitude that recommends 10 psi for home canning then this is NOT THE COOKER FOR YOU!!!! You can compensate for the increased pressure but this requires experience ...... talk to someone who lives near you who is known to KNOW what they are doing when it comes to "canning" !!!!! Hope this helps!

In the book I have all of the meat recipes call for the use of a pressure cooker. When my husband and I canned deer we used a canner with a Jar rack in it and you don't have to have a pressure cooker. This is like a kettle with clamps on lid and a vent on top, it works great. Good Luck

No, this meant to be used inside the canner to be able to fit a second row of jars. The temperature needed to make the canner come up to proper steam wouldn't be safe, because the rack does not fully touch the burner. There is a definite space between the rack and burner. I would suggest a coil electric burner, or a propane gas burner. A glass top or induction burner wouldn't be safe enough.

Can I use this adapter as a remote what? I don't understand your question James. The cannister of gas is remote and about 10 inches away from where the stove stand and backpacking stove connect together. Mine looks just like it is shown in the product advertising graphic. Please clarify your question. I'm missing somethng here, obviously. Please re-ask your question or offer more information about what "remore" means to you. Thanks.

I have a gas stove. Pan seems to work well on it, but don't use too high a flame on that burner.

The problem using this pressure cooker on a glass top stove won't be from the pan. Some glass top stove manufacturers don't want canning done on there ranges, check for that information. This being a moderate size unit i can see no reason it shouldn't be used. I've used this pressure cooker on both a smooth top range and a wood stove. On both the pan worked perfectly. Smooth top ranges require smooth bottom pans, which this pressure cooker is..

I bgt a camp chef 2 burner just for canning b cuz it has 15 k btu output of heat, this makes canning faster for me. My glass top stove takes 4 ever to heat up the canner & so difficult maintaining proper pressure. Its set up in my kitchen & I am a happy canner. A friend who is a master canner uses this method & told me about it. So easy just make sure your propane tank is full b 4 starting.
