never heard of such a thing..canning deer meat...guess caused I liked in the concrete jungle...
We can it to keep it from getting freezer burned plus it has the added benefit of making it much faster to cook it in a pot of stew or chili or any of the many other ways we eat it.

I like the back wall...
Thank you! When my husband built the house he had some broken tiles that he didn't have a use for but then decided this would be a good use for them. Its easy to clean for sure some hot soapy water and any food splatter or grease is gone.

Probably the most coveted reaction on r2r.
The laughing emoji from Tim is a good one to get. A money emoji from Tom for a song.
