3 more pints of chicken, 7 pints of lean ground beef in the canner. First batch pinging away.
Basically another month's worth of one meal per day

I like to hear that "ting" of the jars sealing. It's almost as satisfying and listening to an autumn olive being chopped up by the bush hog at full tractor RPM in low 1.

Depending on the cut of meat, I had a layer of fat at the top. Didn't interfere with the canning.
Only issue I've had on fish or meat was when I was distracted and pulled the weight too soon during cool down. Ruined 2 jars, but had put the weight back soon enough the others were fine.
Top round is on sale for $2.99/lb so I think I'll be canning some of that up if I can get down there

About half way, enough so the meat didn't glob into a pint sized meatball

Ball says to skim off fat. Rebel canners say a layer of fat is an added layer of sealing. I think the concern is that fat could go rancid? I leave the fat on ground meat, and it gets used up fast enough that rancidity is never a concern here.

i wouldn't think that rancidity would be as much of an issue if you pressure cook because most of the air is gone from a jar by the time it finishes. i've never had canned meat go rancid in the metal cans from the stores and there's fat in those at times. i've not pressure canned meats here so i can't really speak from direct experience there.
