Didn’t add cure ready to stuff...

I wasn’t planning on smoking so did not add cure. But now am thinking smoke and cure. Not sure I can get it evenly mixed. If so, how long do I need to let it sit with cure before stuffing into casings?

Last time I made summer sausage I don’t recall letting it sit.  I think I mixed and stuffed immediately.  Then in the over or smoker at 200 until done.

Got the cure and mixed in. It’s a bit wet but hopefully it’ll be good .

Should always let your ingredients including the cure absorb into meat and sit in the fridge overnight before you stuff.  Atleast for me its always made for a great product.

Pink salt doesnt need to sit for it to work, mix the cure well to incorporate it and then smoke it. You will be fine..
That said some sausage varieties benefit from a cold sit, any where from couple hours to a day.
