Ok the link you posted in your other discussion, http://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-Explorer-EX-60LW-2-Burner/dp/B0006VORDY That model has 2 30,000 BTU burners so it could easily destroy your canner. You will never want to use either burner even 1/2 way on, no more than 1/3 turned on max. I can't see the control knobs in the pics so don't know how much control it has but even using it on low should be plenty of heat. It may take a little more time to get the water up to boiling but that is fine. Much better than ruing the canner. And once the canner is up to pressure turn the heat down a bit more. Dave

Dawn, Thanks for remembering that, because I had searched, and found the Nolo bait, and was wondering if it really worked. I'll bet our grasshoppers are close to 1/2" but I'm going to try it anyway, if it doesn't work, I'll order the other stuff. I have seen a lot more grasshoppers here than what we usually have, and was fearful for the tomatoes!! I'll bet the guineas would not work here in town. We got our first tomato today, it was a big boy and was pretty good. It actually did not rain here today, yea!!

Our local PBS channel started a mini series last night titled "Pioneers of Television". It is a 1 hour show and runs for four consecutive Wednesdays. The subject last night was "Sitcoms". A very entertaining show taking the viewer on a trip down nostalgia lane with sitcoms of the 50's and 60's that didn't have to rely on sex and over the top personalities to entertain us. Many of the stars in these shows have passed on now. I am sure they would be turning in their graves if they could see what today's sitcom has become. The next 3 Wednesdays will cover "Late Night", "Variety" and "Game Shows". At last something to watch on Wednesdays. If this series comes to a TV near you, be sure to check it out.

Judy does what I've always done when seeing your creations Flamey. I have to come back or look them over time and again to see all of the tiniest of details you add. I remember dissecting Nectarine and her paraphernalia when I had her just to see the terrific handy work and how your talented and creative mind works. :)
