Pepper Stout Beef - Apply "Foil Hat Rub" tonight or tomorrow?

[Pappy]

Making some Pepper Stout Beef tomorrow. Should I apply the rub tonight or just before I start the WSM ?

I'm using Bigabyte's famous "Foil Hat Rub". This will be my 1st time using his rub recipe.

Apply it before you start the WSM and it will do its thing while the fire gets going good.

I didn't know if it needed to be the night before so it could work itself into the meat. Like a pork butt. It's about two inches thick.

I don't think I will matter too much either way. Honestly, I think it might get lost in all the other flavorings of the finished product. I love foil hat rub but I wouldn't waste it on this unless you planned to keep some of the beef out to eat on its own. Then again, give it a shot and see if the rub does make a difference.

To your original question, it really doesn't matter when you put the rub on.

You're fine either way, but I just apply while I get the fire going.:thumb:
