If you are not using nitrite curing agent..... don't low temperature smoke it... smoke causes a reduced oxygen atmosphere and botulism can grow...

Without nitrite cure, smoke at 225 ish to an IT of 165 deg. F (for venison)..... DO NOT PARTIALLY COOK ..... complete the cooking process in 1 (one) step....

Okay if I do put cure in what temp can I cook at?

 

[daveomak]

You can smoke it for as long as you want.... temp range 50 to 70 deg. F...... vac-pack and freeze for later use.... OR..... smoke at 120-130 ish for a few hours then vac-pac and freeze for later use....

If you have a grams scale, add about 1.1 grams per pound of meat.... or add 1 level tsp. of cure #1 per 5#'s of meat...

Nitrite is safe used accordingly.... beats getting botulism.... It also affords some protection for other pathogens and bacteria......

The meat does need to be stored at refer temps... 38-40 degrees while the cure is doing it's thing on the meat.... 12 - 24 hours is adequate for ground meats....
