Why do you mustard folks use the mustard?

I put my special secret rub directly on the meat and it is unbelievably delicious. Best I've ever eaten.

What can mustard do for me?

The mustard thickens the spice rub and creates a bark.

The mustard just holds the rub in place...does nothing for the flavor. I have heard that some people use mayo, and I have used BBQ sauce for the same purpose.

Don't sweat the mustard...if you can apply the rub on raw meat, and it holds, go for it.

That's the glory of BBQ, isn't it? There is no ONE RIGHT WAY to do it.
