Yellow Mustard

[Shawn]

Anyone use a mustard slather on Pork Butt prior to putting the dry rub on? I don't but I know those who do. Does this make the pork better?

It just acts as a glue to help the rub stick a little more. It dosen't add any decernable flavor to the pork.

I've alternated between using cheap yellow mustard and Worcestershire sauce. The mustard doesn't leave any discernable flavor, but aids with bark formation. The Worcestershire sauce doesn't seem to aid with the bark, but does lend a slight flavor dimension.
