Butts-----Mustard before the rub or no?

[tasunkawitko]

tried this as a pre-rub slather for the first time today - very much worth doing and works like a charm:

TJ's barbecue slather

1 generous cup light brown sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp white pepper
1 can of flat beer
32 oz. yellow mustard
2 tbsp your favorite hot sauce.


my wife is a non-hot-sauce person, so i substituted worcestershire sauce with outstanding results!
