You can use mustard as part of a rub, but I like using canola oil. The mustard can overpower the other flavors in the dry rub mix. Canola oil keeps the meat nice and moist, helps the rub adhere to the meat, and doesn't overpower the other spices. You can use canola oil, then add some dry mustard powder to your rub if you like mustard flavor. Just a thought.
