I go through about 2 bottles per summer of the Dizzy Dust. And this year, I plan to do pork butts (is Dizzy Dust good on butts?). Each being 8 oz. of course. I was wondering - how long does the 2 lb. bulk Dizzy Dust stay fresh if I don't use it all right away?? I'd be better off $$$ wise to just get a 2 lb. bag...

    Store it in an airtight container, in a cool, dry place and it should be 'good' for 2-3 years. Might lose some of its strength, but not much.

    First of all, Dizzy Dust, I use the coarse grind, is excellent on pork butts. I buy the 2 pound bags and keep them in my freezer. They stay fresh for a loooong time. I have a partial bag of Pineapple head that's been in it for a year and it's still fresh! :)

    I asked Chris of Dizzy Pig the same thing. Here's his reply.

    Thanks for having the faith to sprinkle our stuff on your meat!

    Light, air, heat and moisture are all enemies of fresh spices. We start out fresher than most, so that helps, but your rub will taste a little mellower and flavors will shift as time goes on. Simply keeping tightly closed and in a cool dark place and you'll still get some decent flavor even after 2 years. If, down the road, you want to experience the true zip DP is known for, freezing is not a bad idea, especially if it will be more than 6 months, and vacuum sealing first is even better.

    Thanks again, and happy cookin!
    Chris
