fermenting Fermenting jar.

[Shorerider]

I'm looking at getting into fermenting and am in the market for a fermenting jar. Just wondering what others are using and what size would be suitable.
 
When I make non-fermented sauces I usually make around 4 liters including vinegar,  so I was going to go with something like this:

I do most of my ferments in half gallon jars ball jars are the brand with plastic covers. But those are beautiful jars great link Shorerider. I agree with Hawaiianero cheap grommet and airlock way to go. But love those all glass jars!!. http://www.fermentacap.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=59&name=fermenta-lock-airlock-cap check this out.

Thanks guys, we're limited to what is available down here, same goes for woozy's. I did like the jars in my link, but maybe I should go a cheaper route first to see if I'll stick to fermenting and like the results.

I have a bunch of the big gallon, around 4 liters, Mt. Olive pickle jars.

The great thing about them is you just snug up the cap, don't tighten it down then, when the pressure builds up enough, the lid is pushed up enough to vent the CO2. That makes them self burping and no airlock needed. When the lid gets bad or rusty just pitch it and keep the jar for a back up incase one breaks.

Thanks RM, that's a good idea.
