Cue Glue

Cue Glue is a mustard-based binder designed to help dry rubs adhere evenly to meat before grilling or smoking. It has a tangy, vinegar-forward flavor that cooks off during the barbecue process, leaving your seasoning at the front. The texture is smooth and spreadable, creating an even surface that helps form a chewy, well-developed bark. Use it on ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, or turkey before applying your favorite BBQ rub.

Yellow mustard (water, distilled vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, oleoresin paprika, spices), water, distilled vinegar, salt, paprika, dill seeds

Regular price $9.99

Flavor Profile

Primary flavor is tangy yellow mustard with a sharp vinegar note. Secondary hints of paprika and dill seed add mild spice and herbal depth.

How To Use

Use about 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of meat, coating all sides lightly before applying your dry rub. Grill or smoke as usual; the mustard flavor fades as it cooks, helping your seasoning form a flavorful bark.

FAQ

What is a mustard binder for BBQ?
A mustard binder is a thin layer of mustard spread on meat before adding dry rub. It helps the seasoning stick and supports bark formation during smoking or grilling.

Does mustard binder change the flavor of the meat?
The tangy mustard flavor mostly cooks off during grilling or smoking. What remains is the flavor of your dry rub and a well-formed bark.

How much BBQ binder should I use per pound of meat?
Use about 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound. Apply a light, even coating so the rub adheres without making the surface wet or heavy.
