Is this barrel jar air tight and ok for canning?

Its a hit and miss. I have purchased close to a dozen of these jars and 4 of them the lids will not stay air tight.

The jar is air tight but does NOT have a rubber ring of any kind. I'm not sure this would work for canning. Try contacting the company with your question. Good luck. :)

The lid that comes with it is not air tight. I found a plastic lid that fits it, cut a slot in it, and use it for a place to throw my spare change.

Yes, if you are canning meats, or low acid vegetables. These do need a pressure canner.

As answered earlier, yes you theoretically could. However just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. 1: it would be an awfully tight fit. 2: half gallon jars are not recommended for pressure canning by the FDA as well as every canning manufacturers (such as ball) out there. 3: all canning recipes I have are in quart and pint amounts. I assume you are changing that too fit your needs. By doing so, you could inadvertently affect chemical compositions and end up with issues latter. Bottom line is Yes but you shouldn't.

Even if it could, you'd have a hard time getting the canning jar to fit inside. This container is not that tall. I'd say even a pint jar would be a close fit.

I do not do my own canning so I can not speak to the cans you have. It feels like it should. Sorry I ave no better answer.

No, Its a nice cheap stoppered bottle that holds nonpressurized liquids. The bail holdng the stopper is just hooked into a small divot in the glass. I am pretty sure if it did stand canning pressure you would consider yourself lucky. Just my opinion though...... we all know what opinions are like too.

I have used it for quarts and pints. There is plenty of space above the jars to be covered by the water. I use a gentle boil while canning and have had no problem with it boiling over. I love the clear glass lid to be able to monitor what is going on inside without having to lift the lid.

this is not for canning. It is a very tech design pressure cooker, for meals, roasts, all kinds for foods. But not canning.

Absolutely not AIR TIGHT. I store hulled barley in one and Brown rice in the other for daily nutrition. Buy a 30cal US Army Surplus Ammo Can for Seed Storage they seal air tight.

I don't dsee why not. They have the regular canning seal caps. Seem they would be airtight. I believe these are the same design as any of their "canning" jars except that they are pretty light blue instead of clear glass.

I've never used it as a canner, but I'm sure it will hold a number of quart jars (exact number I do not know).

This Simmer Mat Diffuser is of such thin metal that I don't know if it would be enough to protect the jars when canning.. I for one would not use it for that purpose.

The airlock is universal, however, this kit is designed to work with a wide-mouth canning jar. (The white plastic disc replaces the canning lid, and it fits securely on the jar with a standard wide-mouth ring.) Unless ypu have an unusual gallon jar with a wide-mouth opening, this kit will not work. However, it will work with half-gallon canning jars with a wide mouth.

A normal quart (Mason or Ball) canning jar fits. Anything shorter than 6.5" and narrower in diameter (width) than 3.5" will fit.

It can be used for canning, but timing is the main issue. Stop the item and let it cool itself after the time is allowed for cooking.

It can, with an attachment, vacuum seal lids to canning jars. HOWEVER, this is not a replacement for actually canning the food - if not heated/cooked as directed, you may be sealing botulism spores in with your food. The attachment is great for sealing lids to allow storage of dry goods under vacuum (like flour, sugar, etc), but should not be used as a replacement for properly canning wet, fresh, or cooked foods.
