Curing time.

I consider two weeks the minimum cure time but three weeks is my usual. Even longer... better still. I think time offers diminishing returns. You get a lot of benefit from the first week, less the second week and less each week after so it becomes a matter of how patient you are and how smooth a smoke you like. I like to try a small sample when drying is finished. Then try a sample after a week of curing. Make notes describing the taste & smell after each sample so you can compare notes over time. I have found that about 3 weeks is my happy place for curing but yours might be 2 weeks or 2 months.
