Can bout 500 qts a year and have for bout 15 yrs now. Ball is only way to go. Had one blow one night bout 3 am lol 2nd degree burns and couple weeks laid up. But honestly I think it was temp and humidity more so than the jar...I always can outside when I can.
Ball or no-go.
I was a Ball broker (in food retail store chains) for 9 years. They were one of about 130 accounts. Good people, good company, great products. Ball or "no go" as others have said.
Great. Now I want pickled watermelon rinds from back home... 
thanks.
Or at least some good pickles.

You big ol' freak you...
Never heard the term Ball broker before. That's awesome! I was a donor once.
I had no idea but that does explain some things lol.
How did the lid failure cause the pressure build up that swelled the lids. I thought that the process was to heat the contents with the lid loose and then tighten the lid when hot and that created a vacuum during the high temp phase that also killed all living organisms that could cause spoilage. I only understand the process from a theoretical perspective. I have helped but never questioned the full process.
Just trying to understand the details of what can lead to failure.
