Since I already had some sandrete (a kind of cement I use to fill the lines in my brick sidewalk), I decided to wait on getting a kit and do a bit more research.

Since those are prone to rust, I’ve also used Ball’s plastic screw-on lids (mine are the older white style, but this is their current style.) That will ensure the food has plenty of room to expand upward.
