when to rub?

[busted knuckles]

The night before, or while smoker is heating up?

Either will work, some do it one way, some do it the other!

Night before! :)

Or atleast 4 hours before....that gives the rub time to "melt" into the meat and you'll almost form a BBQ sauce glaze on it. My fridge is smelling of it right now!

I think I'm gonna do it.

Hello busted.  If you have done some reading here you know about Pops.  The word has been given!  No need for further consultation.  Good luck.  Keep Smokin!

I'm with Pops on this one.  I've done it both ways... Night before and Right before I throw it on the grate. Cant really taste the difference ether way. So, I'm always looking for the easy way out, I'll wait till the last minute.  Brian

As Pops has already given the word; my opinion probably doesn't make much difference but I never season nite before.  I agree with BD.  It ain't like brining.  I see no difference.  Keep Smokin!
