    Yellow Mustard Coating?

    I don't think it has any effect on the meat other than to make the spices stick on very well. I have a nephew who is very allergic to mustard who just ate about 4lbs of my mustard coated pulled pork butt. So i can say it is completely out by finish of the smoke.

    CookShack Smokette SM009-2 Electric Smoker
