How to Use

Use around 2-3 teaspoons of mustard binder per pound of meat, then apply your choice of BBQ seasonings or dry rubs. The flavor of the mustard in the 'Cue Glue will cook off, letting your BBQ rub shine.

Founders' Notes

In 2015, I spent a couple months traveling across the South chasing different barbecue flavors and learning regional styles. In Texas, I saw pitmasters use a mustard-and-pickle-juice slather to glue (or bind) seasoning to briskets before smoking. That was the inspiration for Cue Glue. I use it the same way now, not just for brisket but for pork butts, whole hogs, and more. The flavors cook off during smoking, leaving behind nothing but great bark and real barbecue character.

About this Spice
