    new to curing, questions about safety

    case hardening, meaning the casings will dry and stop the curing process? OK well, I probably have this batch ruined and need to go back to the drawing board

    dry cure time - 13-14 days too long?

    I started dry curing (w/ TQ) a belly I had last Sunday 2/1.  My research on here indicates that 9-10 days is about right but I likely wont be able to start cold smoking until this Saturday.  That would be 13 days in the dry cure bags....  Is that too long or a problem?  Am I going to have...
