I found this rack on Amazon but I've never found a pot for it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044BBYH4?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_14
Any help in finding a pot for this would also be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone have a special canner they use for 4 ounce jars?

You just need a pot that the rack can fit in and still have enough space above the jars to have 1-2 inches of water above them. Any large pot like you’d use for pasta should work for the little 4oz jars, they’re not very tall.

Maybe I’m a dolt, but what’s preventing you from using just… any pot?
Watherbath canning only requires that you have 1”-2” of water over your racked jars. I do my 4oz jars in my regular canner like normal.
Love it 😀
Any pot wide and deep enough with a lid would work. I was gifted a lovely stock pot with a glass lid so I can see when it is back to a boil! It easily holds a 7 jar rack that I used to upgrade my old enamel canner.
I would just use that in a small-ish stock pot that fits the correct diameter. As it is I will stick a silicone trivet in a regular pot to use as a mini canner for a few little jars, no need for a rack.
Looks like it would fit in an Instant Pot.
These are ADORABLE!!
Just a quick search. Walmart brand (Mainstays) 8qt stock pot.
From what I can tell it’s just under 9.5″ dia by just under 7″ tall.
Should be tall enough and hopefully fit.
Another option is to look up a 22cm stock pots.

I have an asparagus pot I use for a few small jars. Even has a lifting rack.
