I just made 30# of 19mm slim jim type treats. I used the curing salts and I also smoked them for 5 hours with an internal temp of 175 degrees. After they cooled I then vacuum packed them.

What is the best way I should store them: on the shelf, refrigerator, or freezer?

They are fully cooked but not shelf stable without drying. I'd store them in the freezer with a pound in the fridge for test purposes.
