has anyone purchased their jars online sterilized. Wondering if this would work just as well as doing it yourself?

they will work, but cost between 3-10x as much as doing it yourself, and it is pretty simple...that's kinda the whole reason behind this board, so you can do it yourself for cheaper. and it's way more rewarding being involved in every process from start to finish.

Jars are never 100% sterilized. Eventually, even the most minute trace of contaminate is going to take hold. The added time of processing and shipping is just a window of opportunity for molds and bacteria to take hold without having to worry about competing mycelium. IMHO, sterilized jars should be used ASAP. However, I'm sure many people have used these exact jars without issue.
I, personally, always recommend the DIY route. You'll learn a lot more, and it will be much more rewarding.

I would suggest doing it yourself as well.

If you were truly DIY, you would make your own manure.

Good advice from someone who sells pre-sterilized grain jars
