Curing bins?

I was wondering what type of bins to use for curing? I have to much to cure for jars, I would need a thousand jars so I'm wondering if there's a type of bin to cure? I heard plastic air tight bins are bad for curing.

Where can i find those? Supermarkets or amazon?

Turkey bags are what I use. Double em up to prevent infiltration of ambient air. Burp and turn over daily until ready then jar for long term

Home depot, Lowe’s etc

Would this be what I'm looking for?

Thank you very much

Check out Grove bags. They were neck and neck with the boveda jars but are starting to clearly pull away and the fact you can seal a half lb bag and forget about it instead of 6-10 jars has been nice

I use C-Vault stainless steel containers. A bit pricey, but they’ll last forever and are much easier to handle than a bunch of mason jars. This is the 8 liter size with 8 oz in it, could get a couple more ozs in there if necessary, which I hope it will be soon. Nice feature is the lid has a compartment for two Boveda 62% packs...mine is holding steady at 60%.

I would be concerned with light degradation using a clear container, the food grade buckets and lids which BK78 mentioned are opaque and stop any light transmission. In a small harvest, I use 1 QT peanut butter jars spray painted white. This is just what works for me, goodluck...

Those c-vaults are super nice, you'll never have to replace them.

Almost the whole universe uses these:


That's the classic solution. Stackable, which is a big deal. Large scale is moving over to systems more like this:

They would be walking around with an inline fan on an adapter, and it plugs up to what would be the drain. Then you pop the top and suck, not blow, to pass fresh air through the bin to burp a huge volume thoroughly.
