If your pints are coming out well, stick to pints. Two pints go faster
than a quart anyhow.
A quart jar is getting close to too tall for the [vertically challenged]
thermal stir effect at 7 watts and if you're treading edges of stability
due to water quality variations [most people aren't], that's one way to tip
the scale back in your favor.
If you can find a larger jar that's not as tall, that might be a solution
for you too. Pickle jar?
I've used a Mount Olive 46 oz jar that fits the gen using the beaker
adapter ring for years and the stirring was quite sufficient.

Ruth,
You didn't say if all your batches have come out clear? Pint batches
come out well for me too, with the same model generator you have. I did
get a meter due to DW problems and inconsistencies (I just posted in more
detail about the DW here). I no longer seed my batches of CS, nor do I
pre-heat the DW, just use it room temp.
My 2 cents is that if you aren't having any batches turn unexpectedly
yellow, you likely don't need the meter. I bought one, because the
inconsistencies in how my CS was turning out were driving me completely nuts.

This is all still really new to me, but I have made several different size
batches of CS with the silverpuppy generator which includes an auto shut
off. All of my one pint batches have been consistently turning off after
about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. All of my different size batches had different
"cooking" times (I always use a "starter" of pre-made CS as suggested in
some earlier threads). The one batch I made using a 1 quart jar took
over 3 hours, so I've decided to stick with the pint size.
