    Drying sausage question

    Is it ok to stuff and let set overnight in the refridgerator to dry before smoking? Ive been hanging it for a couple hours, but if the weather is bad I was thinking I could put it in the fridge if the weather looked better the next day, and smoke it then. Thx.

    Cure for sausage question

    New to this with Masterbuilt electric analog smoker. If I just want to add smoky flavor to venison sausage, do I need to add a cure to the meat? I thought Id try to get the smoky taste, freeze it and cook later. If that's possible can you folks please give me time and temp? Thank you from Pa.
