    mustard before the rub

    I used it on the first couple of butt's I did but using jeff's rub overnight in the fridge I found that I didnt need it. as for bark I guess it does produce some more of it but it is just a personal thing. I got to do a brisket after seeing the q view that looked good.

    spare ribs turned out awful

    well I figured it was going to happen. I had good luck on the chicken and pulled pork. But the ribs were another story. They were not fit for the dog to eat.
