Yo Ho guys,
We all chart our courses a tad different than each other. I like to use my old pickle jars. I run them through the dishwasher including the twist on lids, they have worked well over many years for me.
You don't need to seal the jars as though you are doing some home canning, like what the others here have said, and I agree with them completly.
Glass jars work the best
A screw on lid will work just fine
Fill it up, but not to much
put on the lid, and hand tighten it
Place jar/jars in a cool dark spot
especially where they won't get found
Every day open the jar/jars to allow fresh air in
Do this several times a day, Morning, noon, night
some folks will let their cure go for up to a year or longer
you won't want to wait that long
But I think a month minimum would be good
Find the sticky that talks about what 4u2sm0ke mentioned
Try to be chill, but it's understood that you will snag bits of it here, and there to enjoy, good learning experience.
Hope you enjoy your smoke
smoke in peace
