If you have time you can get the funk out of any jar. It takes at least a week but it'll work on any glass jar. Stuff it full of newspaper and close it. Pull out the newspaper after 2 days and change it. Repeat until the funk is gone. I use it for stash jars (I make them) all the time. Works like a charm.

Those link posted by mtotty were good, but the problem with them is the narrow diameter of the opening. You wanna be able to get in there and toss and mix up the buds for a proper cure. Personally i would go for these:

You should be able to cure at *least* a half pound per jar, most likely more. The only problem is they're not quite airtight, but you could make it airtight easily. All you'd have to so is run a bead of silicone or hot glue around the outside of the rim of the lid.

Those could work quite well if you can find a seal for them. At this moment the best use for one of those would be a cookie jar.

No it's not.
These plastic locking-type storage containers work well:
To me the annoying part about jars isn't that they don't hold enough, it's the narrow opening. They have widemouth jars but not in the larger sizes. The plastic containers are nice because some are wider than they are tall, which makes for easy packing and emptying. Other reasons people avoid using very large containers are worries about budrot, if you have 30 jars and a few get moldy it's not as bad as if you had 6 really big jars and lost one.

I am in the same boat dude. Last run was around 3 lbs. Stuffing buds in and out and in and out of 40 glass jars is just fucking stupid. I am in the process of finding a large broken refridgerator. I'm going to yank out all the shelves and shit, and put my hepa filter and dehu in it and seal the holes up. Need to vent, open the door. Need to slow down the process...close the door and shut the dehu off. Hepa should take care of the smell. Best of all I can just stick it in the garage and forget about it. Maybe a should look for an ice chest instead...

I just bought like (5) 6 packs of 64oz Ball wide mouth jars to use with Caliber IIIs, it's working well and isn't complicated.

I like the idea of using an old pickle jar with the smell still inside. You can claim you have a new pickle strain. You can call it "purple pickle".
