This is what I got elsewhere about curing.


Fill jars about halfway ---> 3/4's and then seal. Place into a dark closet. Next day remove the lids from the jars and leave them off for about twenty minutes. Once lid is off, shake gently, do not shake. Repeat.This takes around a week to finish.

I have read in the past that someone mentioned that their smoke was particularily weak and bitter. They experimented with curing and said that curing for 60-90 days made for an incredible smoke.
