First ribs ever.... Turbo St. Louis!

Mustard/butt rub and 325-350 indirect for 2 hours. Thermapen read 195-200 when I pulled them and they were excellent! I left one dry and sweet baby ray on the other. So good.

    looks great.  question -- what's the purpose of the mustard?  I actually don't like mustard so I don't want that taste on my food.  thanks

    You can't taste the mustard.  It is used to hold the rub and create more bark.  Some say the vinegar in the mustard helps tenderize the meat.  It's a messy process but it works.

    I can't stand the sight, smell or taste of mustard.  It makes me wretch. 

    I would never do ribs or a butt without slathering it in disgusting, horrid yellow mustard first.

    What @tnbarbq said. Less messy if you use a silicone brush type of thing.
