What kind of kit did you decide on? I have been looking into it as well

Redback Trading Preserving Kit
The Kit includes:

20 litre Boiling Water Canner (Pot) with Jar Rack
Ball 4 Piece Preserving Utensil kit (jar funnel, jar lifter, lid lifter and bubble remover & headspace tool)
A copy of the Ball Blue Book of Home Preserving
one dozen Ball 500ml wide mouth preserving jars
two boxes of a dozen replacement wide mouth lids ober

10% off at a Redback Trading at the minute, so bonus! Will be around $150 for the kit and a doz litre jars as well, plus post.
