processhead i guess the question is, I injected the bacon and put it in a 50% brine like the video says. By the time that was done, it was 11:15pm last night. What time can it go in the smoker?

I wanted to get it done since today I am off work and have more processing of the pig to do. My next day off isnt for 10 days. I didn’t want to have to freeze the meat

Hey all, I am a new member. Over the past two days I dispatched and processed my first home raised pig. I have only raised pigs twice now. The first time I sent it off to be processed, this time I did it myself. Talk about a ton of work… especially when it is your first time and you are all alone.

Anyway. I purchased some of the blue ribbon maple bacon cure. I watched the bacon video like 10 times now. My question is just how long is overnight? They say it just needs to sit in the fridge overnight before going to the smoker… is that 8 hrs, 12, 24? Also could it go longer or is that bad news bears? Thanks!
