#1. Or #2. For making smoked summer sausage. I will be fully cooking this in the smoker to the correct temp

Kind of confusing, but the #1 is for corned beef and bacon. The #2 is for dry curing sausage...

what is the shelf life

The container has a "best buy" date about 5 years in the future, but considering that this is salt, a mineral that has been around since the beginning of time, the shelf life is essentially forever. It reminds me of the expiration dates on bottles of water.

If I am using a dehydrator, should I use # 1 or #2 curing salt for jerky?

I use a dehydrator regularly making beef and wild game jerky. I always use #1. I add about 1 teaspoon of #1 for every 5-6 lbs of meat.

Would this be good for curing a pork loin? I usually hang them for about 4 months to cure

Short answer: Yes. It is a supplement adding nitrates to inhibit bacteria and not a direct salt replacement.Long answer is you need to know the amount of nitrates and nitrites you are using to inhibit bacteria growth. This is not a salt replacement in a recipe, it is an addition of nitrates mixed with salt. If your rub calls for 1/2 cup of salt you would replace about a teaspoon of your straight salt with #1 pink salt. We use 1 table spoon of potassium nitrate (saltpeter) to process about 60 pounds of venison/pork sausage. I think 1/4 teaspoon of pink salt per pound of loin would work but I am not trained so take that with a grain of salt. ;)Please do not use this as a straight substitute for salt in any recipe. You will give someone a heart attack.
