How long prior to a smoke does everyone season/rub your meats?

I have tried doing as some say and rubbed pork butts and ribs a number of hours before, but frankly nobody noticed any difference. So since then I have never done it again.

I just apply a binder of sometimes mustard but usually wooster sauce, and then apply the rub onto that. To state a time...I'd say the binder and rub goes on within an hour of the meat going to do it's work.

I always lay on the spices the night before. Sometimes I'll sprinkle more before it goes in the pit.

For me it really depends on the Meat I'm rubbing - - - for chicken it's just an hour or slightly more, for ribs several hours before but I did a new technique (new for me anyhow) on the Pork Shoulders I did last week. The evening before the next mornings smoke I rubbed them with Honey Mustard and then covered them in Rub. Then I double wrapped them in plastic wrap and into the frig overnight. :salut:

Gotta agree with OUP and Kenshin. That's pretty much my routine.

One thing to consider if you're not noticing any difference operating that way is your spices might be stale. Salt is about the only thing that has a long shelf life. Pepper, garlic, etc... is all going to fizzle out and lose aroma and flavor. Never mind it's hard to find spices at the grocery store that haven't had half the flavor processed out of them to begin with.

I use a lot of spices, normally bought in seed form, every month or so I dry roast and grind and store in an air tight container. Spices I use are cumin, coriander, fenugreek,star anise to name a few.
