1 tablespoon Black Pepper
1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
2 tablespoons Yellow Mustard
Instructions

- Preheat oven or smoker to 275°F (135°C)

Notes
Using a meat thermometer provides more accuracy for doneness.
Letting the rub sit overnight will enhance the flavor.
Spritz with apple juice and water for added moisture during smoking.
