You should be able to buy the jars at any wal-mart. If you mean by pre-sterilized jars w/ sub in them, then check out the vendors. There is alot to choose from.

To hell with walmart. Buy from anywhere else but those bastards. Every grocery store should have 1/2 pint wide mouth jars. Follow the brf tek page and videos and you'll succeed. You don't need to buy pre-sterilized jars. RR

I totally agree with RR, FUCK walmart in their greedy asses. If you cannot find any 1/2 pint wide mouth, ask you local hardware store to order some for you. They will be happy to do it and if they ask what you are canning, tell them clean peaches and try to look like a homo, this should stop anymore questions.

or if you don't want to attract other homos in the store, just say you're wanting to can whole tomatoes, peaches, or peppers or something and leave it at that. Personally, I just excuse my use for supplies with one sentence and I find people don't usually pry. If they do, just ask them what's up with the 20 questions. That usually shuts em up.

I ask for vermiculite at lowes once and the guy replied "what do you need it for" I answered, "None of your God damn business" then he tried to tell me that they didn't sell vermiculite anywhere anymore because of the asbestos scare, so i told him that he was full of shit and split.

...or just say you're buying them for your elderly mother. This works great for garden supplies when you don't know what the legit purpose of a product is. Mothers love to garden.

Or if you are really young, you could just say that Grandma sent me to get them, no one ever questions Grandma.

gus330, first of all, YES you can use a pot to steam sterilize. Watch the videos that RR linked for you in his post.
But I actually think buying pre-sterilized substrate jars can be a good idea for noobs. You get jars with holes punched in the lids that you can use for future use (which you'd have to buy anyway). You instantly bypass some of the more challenging parts of the process- no worrying about ingredient ratios, moisture content, sterilization, etc. It increases your chance of success and allows you to have something of a trial to see if you like the process and want to continue the hobby. Gus, go to ebay and search for "substrate jars" and see what comes up. I'm sure you could get 12 pre-sterilized half pint BRF jars for about $40 shipped. Check the seller's feedback for reliability.

I would not go to ebay. I and aot of other like to call it evil bay, and while you may get something decent, you really dont know what your getting, how its been prepared, when it was prepared etc.
If you want to get pre prepared sterilised stuff, stick with our vendors.
The pf tek really isnt that difficult. 2 parts verm, 1 part water 1 part brf.
If you really cant get wide mouth jars, you can use 1/2 pint drinking glasses,with foil lids. It works, not ideal but works ok.
But i do suggest gettin canning jars.
follow the videos on RR site and you wont go wrong.
