We bought theMasonTops kitwith the wide - mouth lids and then picked up some regular pickle pebbles and muddle pipework lids too . I also picked up someplastic storage capsfor our mason jars for after the tempestuousness was done . I have to say I definitelyprefer the all-embracing mouth over the veritable , far better sizing for pushing the veggies down into the saltwater .
