If you used the one most of us use, 2 weeks is good. http://diggingdogfarm.com/page2.html After 2 weeks, I rinse mine off. If you want to, after rinsing it you can cut off a couple of pieces & fry them up to make sure it's not too salty. Usually with this cure it won't be, but if it is, just soak it in water for a coupe of hours. Then let it sit in the fridge for 4 days uncovered. Then cold smoke it for 10-12 hours. Then back in the fridge for 4 more days uncovered. Then into the freezer for a couple of hours & then slice it. Good luck, Al
