The comment about the smaller canners running out of steam.
This could be true if someone let the regulator weight jiggle almost or all the time.
I have seen it happening on YouTube videos.
Many of these but not all have people that didn't read instructions or have no idea how this all works.
With my older canners with petcocks I can keep steady pressure on them without them hardly ever releasing steam.
You can do the same with the regulator weights.

My hand made closer tolerance regulator weights and vent pipes work way better than the factory ones.
