Hi everyone, I have a few old vacola preserving jars sizes 42, 73, 74 and 200, for those I am in search of fitting lids and rings, can someone tell me what sizes they take and/or if they are still being sold somewhere? do far I have checked the ebay stores i.e “shellblue”, “morigan farm” and the online “bake & brew shop”, no luck!
I know our local Mitre10 store has Vacola jars, lids, seals & clips. I don’t know sizes etc, because I don’t actually have any, but try places like that.
We run Morrigan farm and stock the 3 sizes 3,4 and 4.25. If you havent found the sizes you need let us know. Some old bottles dont have the lids anymore. If you want I can send you ( or anyone) a sheet that gives all the bottle sizes and what size lids they take
MorriganFarm- you do the humane chook despatcher too dont you? Is it a one person job? At present we do the chop but its not always easy getting a second pair of hands to help (hubby wont).
Yes one person job. You have to mount it to a post/tree. If we are doing a big lot we do it together. But if Iam here by myself and need to do a sick bird I can easily do. When I say easily I dont like doing it but cant kill a bird with an axe/knife as I really hate the blood splatter
