[Tim M12]

Is it ok to cube and put rub on pork belly over night in refrigerator, day before smoking?

Welcome to the forums...

By all means rub the night before... but then also give it another sprinkle just before putting in the smoker...

Yep. I'd also leave the belly uncovered. That'll help it dry some before going into the smoker.

I just did some CSR burnt ends this morning. I cube them up and dust them the night before in a ziplock bag. They do tend to pick up more of the spice opposed to applying rub the day of. The heat is good and flavorful. They came out great!
