Rub over night?

[Bill S.]

I've always applied rub an hour or so before I put the brisket in. I was thinking about trying the rub on overnight. I'm a little hesitant because it is a salty rub and I'm worried it will draw the juices out. Are there any advantages to applying the rub the night before?

Bill, the only time I rub the night before is when I use a wet paste rub, little to no salt used in the paste rub. Yeah if the rub is on the salty side, I'd skip putting it on the night before. JMO

I used to do all my rubs the night before, but not anymore. Didn't really see any benefit from the results.

Thanks...Just woke up, going to go and throw the rub on now. Then go fire up the smoker.
