Hi Everyone,
I am getting back to smoking after about a 10 year hiatus. Back in the day I would do ribs with yellow mustard and old bay as the rub. Then add a sweet sauce later at times. My question is are any of the rub ingredients needed for any reason other than flavor? Mostly, the sugar and salt I suppose. I know the salt would pull out some moisture but other than that is it all flavor related?
Thanks
Chip
