Mop for Beef or Pork

Many folks feel that you do not gain anything from spritzing or brushing a mop onto meat while it is in the smoker, but I have to disagree. Some of this sugary mixture will adhere to the meat and begin to caramelize in the heat for added layers of flavor. Be sure to apply the mop quickly so as not to hold the door of the smoker open any longer than necessary; about once per hour is plenty.
