Meat will make its own juice, however I did have some that was cut a few days and lost a little moisture, and had to add maybe a 1/4-1/2cup of water before put them in the canner in order to get enough juice. Either way, if the lid seals, it wont matter. Just flip the jar over an hour or so before you eat and exposed meat will rehydrate.
That pretty much does it. High elevation could add a pound or two more of pressure over ten pounds. I also use this method to can pheasant. Its also very good eats.
