Finishing Dust Applicator?

[Colorado0321]

I'm wondering what people use to apply a finishing dust to their bbq. I'm shopping around for an applicator, and the only two I came across one that seem worthwhile is one that Atlanta BBQ sells (Accessories: American Metal Craft Dispenser), and one I saw on amazon (https://a.co/d/4MmfNXY), but that one doesn't say how fine that one dispenses.

Let me know what you all use and recommend, please!

I use a gadget called a thumb grinder (they are designed for coarse salt or peppercorns) but work great for rubs.

If you want to turn your rubs into dust, you should probably look for a cheap coffee grinder. Then get a fine mesh shaker to apply it.

It seems that you are asking more about s&p grinders, which both grind and apply. I got this pair maybe 9 months ago and have been happy with them, electric grinders, same size as the thumb pumpers, turn the switch to on and turn upside down. Oops, just checked and no longer available, but plenty of other options:

For a fine rub applicator I'm thinking a big spoon and a strong hand fan.
