Mason jars are meant for canning & can stand up to heat & repeated use. Kern and Ball are the most common brands in the states & can be found in some grocery stores &, oddly, harware stores. They're pretty cheap & damn useful.

Using a pasta sauce jar is more of a crap shoot - it may work just fine, & it may just... crack.

Your ventilation should be fine.
grumio Reviewed by grumio on . Green Dragon, Mason Jar question I've been reading the green dragon post and bought some appleton 151 75% alcohol. my question is, is the mason jar the type of jar that contains Classico Pasta sauce? The jar says Mason on it but i just want to make sure it won't blow up in my face. Also my kitchen fan isn't very strong but I have a kitchen door right across from the stove, would this be sufficent? thanks for any advice or help. Rating: 5
