Is there a substitute for mustard in a slather?

I'm not a fan of mustard and neither are a couple of my family members.
 
The mustard is completely unnoticeable after the smoke it done. This is how I do it and no one has ever told me they taste mustard. Otherwise, lots of people don't even use a slather before spicing. You could also use any number of oils (EVOO, Canola, Veggie, etc.) as a light coat before applying your rub. Good luck.
 
IF I use something I will use coconut oil.

Most of time I don't use anything.

Never used mustard.
 
You can try mayonnaise... I have used it.... emulsified oil and fats is what it is..... Parkay "butter" squeezable has been used also...

I like to use Worcestershire "Thick" on Beef.

Mustard on Pork.

Olive Oil or Mustard on Poultry.

Yeah.... I didn't like the overly thick paste you would get using mustard (or other bases). Now I just rub and go.
 
Like Bear, I'll use some thick worcestershire on beef sometimes...more because I like the flavor it adds to beef than needing a binder for rub to stick.  I'll also use some olive oil on poultry sometimes before rubbing, but again its because I believe it aids in crisping up the skin and not because I need a rub binder.  I don't use binders of any kind on pork.
