After vacuum sealing, what kind of lifespan are we looking at when using citric acid in the mix? If the steps are followed precisely, how many days in the fridge can I expect before possible spoilage? I know it will vary, but are we talking roughly a week, or roughly a month?

Once taken out of the fridge, would it be safe to eat say 12-24 hrs later?

Will I have a hard time getting good results doing this in the oven since I don’t have a smoker?

Thanks in advance!!
