OT: When do you like to get your rub on?

[dorndawg]

More and more, I've been doing mine the night before. I'm just always concerned it's going to end up salty.

Anyways, last couple times I did it with a brisket; smoking a few slabs of baby back ribs this weekend. For whatever reason, seems like I get better results when I put the rub on the night before. I've been using Malcolm Reed's Killer Hogs lately; his stuff never lets me down. Is he a State fan? Could have all the makings of a top-shelf Sixpacker if so.

Who's making anything good this weekend?

Salt will soak in overnight so it’s good to add the night before. Other spices don’t melt and penetrate the meat so it doesn’t matter if you rub the night before or rub minutes before the meat hits the grill. Famous Dave’s is probably my favorite rub. It’s subtle, no overpowering salt , sweet , or heat. I’ll try new things but I always end up back with Famous Dave’s. I have some 2” thick pork chops in the freezer, now seems like a good time to get up and start them thawing for tomorrow night.

Salt is really the only thing where a lot of time helps you out. If your rub has salt in it - that's why you are digging it more with an overnight coat.

Usually about 15 minutes before bed. Helps me sleep.

What kind of knife did you use to make the hole in the brisket?

We'll just tell your mother we are it all.

I was talking with someone the other day. Eugene Levy's performance in that movie is one of the best comedic supporting roles in history.

I used to salt dry brine the night before but the texture would come out more similar to ham.

I put it on about an hour or 2 before cooking

I almost didn’t open this thread. At least an hour before. I use kosher salt in my homemade rub, so overnight gets it too salty sometimes.
