I sliced and prepped some venison and beef jerky monday (10-26) afternoon. (Used cure #1 at a ratio 1tsp/5lb.) It's been in the fridge in ziplock bags with the air sucked out since then. (about 48 hours) I squish and rotate twice daily. My question is, how long can it sit like this before I have to get it in the smoker?
 
HD,, I usually go 2 days, I would think that the flavor and salt will be more pronounced the longer it stays in the marinade.
