    So, it all depends on how dry the meat is and how much pressure you are willing to put into your rub. If the meat is a dry meat, and you are going to use a lot of friction and pressure putting in the rub, definitely use a wet rub, otherwise you could damage the flesh. If you are willing to use less pressure and relax your grip as you apply the rub, or if the meat is already a little moist, a dry rub is perfectly fine.

    Optimum sugar/salt radio allows the salt to first pull juices from the meat and then pull them back in along with the sugar. This partial curing process is what prevents the meat from drying out. It requires at least 24 hours.

    ^^This. I always add brown sugar to my dry rubs :)
