Made 5lbs with lem packs. 3lbs 80-20 beef, 1lb of buffalo, and 1lb of deer with 1.25 teaspoon of #1 cure.  Got about 2lbs done and my 5lb LEM stuffer broke.  They said sometime nexy week I should have parts.  How long can the cured meat sit in the fridge?

Thanks
 
I would freeze it.

Take it out, slow thaw - stuff and go.

Freeze it overnight and put it in the fridge to slowly unthaw it. That's called "giving it a hard chill".
