What I have done is safe, is it not?

Just had a brain freeze. Is what I have done safe? I have mixed herbs, spices, salt and cure #1 at 2.5g per kg with cubed meat. I then left it in the fridge for just over 24 hrs (timing thing). I then stuffed the sausages. I left them to dry for 2 hrs in my bathroom (about 20 degrees C). I have then cold smoked them (T reading was 14 degrees C) for three hours. They have then gone in the fridge. I think this is safe. Is that so?

These sausages are raw. So to eat them they must obviously be cooked. How long would you leave them uncooked in the fridge before freezing or using them them?

Just the same as fresh meat. Not more than a couple of days.
