I have purchased primarily 2oz tins so far. The blends I really like I have bought another couple 2oz tins to ‘cellar’. Having a dozen blends in my regular rotation, and another twenty or so on deck to try out, means that I don’t go through a single blend very quickly. When I open a new 2oz tin I place the majority of it into an 8oz Ball canning jar. I usually keep a few servings in the original tin to smoke from so I don’t keep opening the jars as often, but I also don’t worry too much about that.
My question is this: purchasing the blends I really like is obviously cheaper when done in bulk. I’ve been looking at the 8oz or 16oz tins of blends like Haddo’s Delight and wondering how I am going to break it up for storage. I assume that once I open the larger tin (like all tins) I will want to provide some form of longer-term airtight storage, but that quantity won’t fit in my normal 8oz jars. I’d like to fill a Ball jar to smoke out of and more permanently store the remainder. Any advice here?
