The Mirro weighted canner is meant to jiggle/rock about 4 times a minute.
The Presto is meant to have a steady "gentle" rock. If you are getting

meat, then you run every possibility of running your canner dry by using
too
high a heat and having more steam escape than is meant to happen.
If your heat is too high on a Mirro, then the weight jiggles/rocks too
often. If you have too much heat with a Presto, it rocks too fast.
Lynda,
That was very helpful, I'll keep in mind for my next batch of venison to be
done after Christmas. Thanks.
