Homemade rubs

For those who make your own homemade rubs and store it, what do you use for anti caking if anything?  I want to store my rub in mason jars until I need it but wonder about it caking up.

    Nothing. I use a skewer and a few good shakes to break it up if it caked.

    No anti caking. I process smaller amounts in my coffee / spice grinder every couple weeks. Sometimes for each cook. Much more fresher better

    My method, exactly. Although I still make my own now and then, lately I've noticed that everyone is getting onto the rub game. There always were hundreds, but now there seems to be thousands. Local meat shop is carrying a brand that retails for $7.49 for a 175g container (little over 6oz)It was on sale today for $3 off, at $4.49 for 6 oz of rub, it is hard to make your own. The quality is very good.

    Yup, the Super Secret Sweet and Salty Rub has to be broken up every time.  I would never add an anti caking ingredient.  Natural all the way.

    A few options:

    uncooked white rice
    saltines
    baking soda or corn starch
    use sugar in the raw instead of brown sugar
    dry your brown sugar in the oven before adding
