curing bacon

What is it you folks refer to as a cold box, and how cold does it stay?
I am wondering if, when dry curing, I can just hang the bacon in the smokehouse? Our daytime temps here are from about 40, to 65 deg F, (sorry don't know the metric system so well).

Cold box? Uuuuhhh, don't know what you mean by 'cold box', to be honest. Do you mean cold smoking or the temperature at which to cure or keep the bacon?

If you can keep it during curing as well as afterwards at fridge temperature or thereabouts it should be fine.

Lucky you, having a smokehouse!

Thanks Eve, and Lillian.
My smokehouse also serves as my feed shed, (don't worry, I clean it first) and is not fancy. It is only for cold smoking.
