Pulled Pork Rub

[metsfan2152]

Next Tuesday I am going away. I will be coming back early Friday morning. I need to cook two pork butts for sat. I will be cooking this on Friday. Normally I would put the rub on the pork butt the night before and put it in the fridge. I will not be here so cant do that cause I wont be home.

Do you think its better to put the rub on Monday night and let it sit in the fridge till Friday. Or should I just rub it on Friday and put it on the smoker.

Friday, unless you can delegate the task.

Honestly, and there will always be those for and against it etc etc. I do it the day of normally, no mustard, put the rub on one side..let it sit for a while <about 30-60 minutes> flip..put the rub on the other side..and start getting the smoker going!

I think you'll be fine doing it the day of. Just sprinkle a bit on the meat when you pull it. I'd be iffy having meat in the fridge uncovered that long, it might pick up off flavours. <Or you'll have your fridge smelling like the rub etc>
