How long before cooking do you apply the rub? Do you really think it makes a difference whether you pat the rub, sprinkle it on, or rub it in? Thanks much.

It seems that the only woods that the stores in my area stock are mesquite and hickory. I don't care much for mesquite. I'm new to the 'cue, recently having purchased a WSM, and any tips/recipes regarding hickory would be greatly appreciated.
