Does it really matter if one rubs it down the night before, or right before putting it on? Curious..as I have always rubbed them the night before, and they always turn out great, but I am feeling a little lazy tonight.
I used to do it the night before but for the last 3 years I rub down everything right before it goes on the WSM. I just put WORCESTERSHIRE suace on the meat, apply rub and on it goes. Got this method from the Texas BBQ rub site.
Well Mr Bill Cannon of Texas BBQ rubs is a Texan so.... Anyway I have done many briskets both ways over the years and there's no difference except less time/hassel doing it Bill's way. I do it with all and any rubs. Link for you
