When to rub your meat?

Just wondering when you guys add your rib rub? Night before? Couple hours before? or Just before you put it in the smoker? Is there any pro's or con's against either method?

I just do the rub when prepping the ribs then into the smoke.
I've tried all the different ways and have noticed some difference but couldn't say any method was better.

I normally put my rubs on 1-2 hours prior to putting on the smoker/grill. Then I leave it out while prepping other stuff. Sometimes I'll wrap it in saran wrap.

If I am bringing it from the fridge and to the pit, I usually just coat and put it on. To me, the colder the meat is when it hits the smoker, the more smoke it's going to take in. If I am grilling, I will let it sit out for a whole. Either way, I don't normally rub ahead of time.

Possibly you are the only one that actually plans ahead....

I used to just rub about 1 hour before, however I do seem to get more flavor if I rub overnight. That at least seems to be the case for me the one time I tried that. It does require planning ahead though.
