I apply the rub just before they go on the grate.

I like to rub the day before, wrap in plastic, and put in the fridge over night - but I have been known to apply right before the smoke in a pinch.

I do it both ways. Sometimes when it's a spur of the momment..........I dry rub and then into the smoker. Most times the rub goes on the nite before. I am doing a 1st now. I applied my rub to my dino bones yesterday......to go in the smoker tomorrow for SB sunday's meal.

Go 9'ers.!!!

Go Niners!    Ok, rub the night before, wrapped in plastic and another light rub before it goes in the smoker?

I usually put the rub on about an hour (or two) before I start smoking.

I second that.  I let it wet up just enough to stick good to the meat when I set them in the rack.  My fear was that the salt in the rub would leech moisture out of the meat if it sat overnight.
