Im guessing Pops may chime in, a week might be overkill, Id say 4 maybe 5 days, depends if you inject it I suppose. If I remember he did say it depends on the size? a smallish, say 14 pounder may get cured through in 3 or 4 days.
Dont sweat it, after a few days as moisture begins to be pulled out the cure will mix with the juice and by the time you are done will basically be bathing in the cure mixture. Good Luck!
Waiting on delivery, do any of you guys cold smoke on the WW? would it even work? my thought was even the lowest temp would be too high.Thinking to just use the amazin smoker
