Any type of meat I have ever put in the smoke house has been cured at least 24-48 hours. Generally I grind and mix seasoning, refrigerate24-48 hrs the ad some water and mix again before I stuff it into the casings. Been good to me for over 30 years of making sausage and kielbasa

Gotta tell you, I have tried both ways. I prefer across the grain. When you cut it with the grain you will generally get a stringy dental floss after biting into it. Dental floss is cheaper to buy than the meat is.
