Dry rub storage containers & BBQ sauce jars.

I save the empties spice containers too. Penzey's carries small (1/2 cup) to large ( 4 cups) jars and shakers. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysjars.html

Mason jars are great when vac sealed.

Martin, I like the cheese lid on the jar, thanks for sharing that.

Howdy, Al!

That is exactly what I needed to know. Gonna have to check with Food Saver to get one of those things.

Thanks again!

I just purchased the 32oz and 16oz spice containers from Spice Barn.  The 32oz was $1.45, and the 16oz $1.25, and the lids were included.  The lids have both the shaker and the spoon/wide mouth openings.  They have worked out great thus far.

Can't help you with a dry rub shaker container. I've been looking for something too. i see these big metal shakers in vids but I don't know where to find them. They would have to have some decent sized holes to let all the goodies pass.

As for longer term storage, I might be doing it all wrong; but I keep my rub in heavy duty double lock ziploc bags in the spare reefer. It contains brown sugar, of course, and I find that the flexible bags make it easy to break up any lumps that form. Lumps aren't generally a problem if I'm careful to remove as much air as possible. I haven't resorted to vacuum sealing yet but wouldn't hesitate to do so.
You guys who vacuum seal the canning jars - how do you do that? My little sealer does bags and has a tube but I don't know how I'd pull a vacuum in a jar.

This shaker came yesterday and was a disappointment. It is far too small. It is 2-1/4" in diameter and 3-1/8" tall with the lid removed. IMO, it should be at least twice that size and probably 3 or 4 times.

My advice - don't buy it.

My wife has a Magic Bullet blender. She got it @ Walgreens, I think... Anyway it has a shaker lid that screws on. The holes are perfect... Holds about 2 cups...  FWIW...

What about something like this? Grill Friends Rub Shaker.....

Here's a couple of more options.....

I too re-cycle the spice containers I got from my last cooking job... work perfect and cheap. Go to a restaruant and ask for some of the empty ones, they usually get tossed...

Just sayin'...

Have fun and...

Id have to say mason jars are the best bet. You can vac seal them and with all the pressure canning I do I ALWAYS have plenty of those extra
