Seems like most people who starting out smoking do a bunch of reading and immediately mustard becomes part of their prep. As their experience grows at some point they try not using mustard and realize it was unnecessary from the beginning. Only thing I spritz these days are ribs and that's because of how dry they might look after 3 hours in the smoker. Butts don't need it and I personally don't think full brisket packers do either if they were seasoned with enough 50/50 salt & pepper and left to sit for a bit before going on the smoker.

Here is a link to my “bbq juice” it’s a great flavor layer as a mop and/or a finishing sauce. Works well with all meats.
