Blender, food processor, or coffee grinder would be my suggestion. Store somewhere cool and dry so humidity and moisture don’t affect it. Vacuum seal if nothing else works.

Jab it with a fork.

I add a small amount of corn starch to my rubs. Prevents clumping

I add some rice to it, don’t fill it up all the way, and then use a shaker so the holes are too small for the rice

Purchase some silica gel packs. It’ll prevent this.

Put it in a blender for a few pulses spread it on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven at 200 for about 15 minutes to draw the humidity out of it. Pulse back in blender a few times again and it should be back to normal. I do this all the time. I buy rub by the 25 pound boxes normally 4 at a time and by the time I get to the last case its pretty clumpy. Put Cellophane under the lid and screw down to prevent moisture from seeping in again.

Grind it if you have a spice grinder or you can put it through a strainer/sieve for the smaller clumps.

You could also probably put in one of those clay brown sugar bears that prevents the brown sugar from clumping.

When this happens to me, I sift it in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Tap the side of the strainer with your hand and mix the rub up with a spoon to get all the small stuff in the bowl. Then you’re left with the clumps that were too big. From there, I press on the big clumps with a spoon to break them up and get as much sifted rub into the bowl as I can

Another option is to dehydrate it in the oven on very low temp like 170, spread on a cookie sheet.

Shake it like a baby for a work out…

Assuming it’s because of the moist brown sugar, just run it through a flour sifter. Never have any clumps after that.

Leave it until it becomes completely solid, and then use it like a glue stick.. or deodorant.. pro tip.. it won’t work well as deodorant
