For kosher garlic pickles canning jars are the absolute worst of all
possible choces... they're too small, the opening is too small, and
typically have metal parts.

What you want are earthenware glazed crocks, the 2 gallon size is good
for beginners. You can also use 1 gallon wide mouth screw lid glass
jars, the type you find in the stupidmarket filled with cooked
pickles, but will need to encase the metal lid in many layers of
plastic wrap. You can also use 5 gallon food safe plastic pails, they
look like contractors pails but make sure yours are new food safe
buckets... sometimes your local deli will give you a few.
