I am going to can meat this year, I have been saying that for 20 years now, I had some canned meat about 25 years ago, Icould not beleive how good it was. I am in the process of buying a All American 21 qt pressure canner and a hot plate, total cost about 475.00. I read Death in a bottle and sounds great. I would like any info that anyone has on adding garlic, little corn, other veggies and spices. Or is there a better set up than what I have listed
