    Easy Beef Rib Question

    I am going to try to smoke some beef ribs for the first time. I plan on using the 3-2-1 method at 225-250. I have looked around and tried to get an idea of what I am doing, but one question remains un answered. When I apply the rub on ribs, do I need to use mustard to get it to adhere to the...
