I have a 2 gal pickle jar that I would like to use as a vacuum chamber.
Does anyone have any experience or advice about this

Zero pressure gauge is actually 14.7 psi absolute at sea level. As you pull a vacuum on a container that pressure is pushing on every square inch of surface area. A rectangular, one gallon container near 30" of vacuum has about 5000 pounds trying to crush it.
Guess that I am living 'dangerously'. I've been using a large pickling (1gal.) for a year now
without incident. Maybe I been lucky but...
