Title: Applying rub night before or just before?
Post by: Timereaver on April 22, 2011, 10:06:21 PM

Hi everyone - wondering what the popular consensus is regarding applying rub to ribs before smoking. Is it better to do it the night before, or a couple of hours before the beginning of smoking/cooking? I've always done mine the night before, but I'm not sure if it's a big deal or not to do it that way. Just curious, thx! (Doing some pork and beef ribs AND bacon bomb tomorrow in the BDS :) ) ;D

I go with the night before....even 2 days before (as long as the rub isn't too salty)...

I have always gone night before no matter which type of meat I do. Always comes out good so I figure why do any thing different.

Doing it the night before lets the flavor's set into the meat so I have always did it the night before if it was at all possible.

I've done is several ways, but IMHO at 24 hours, like what already has been said the longer time allows the rub to permeate better..
