I have a simple sausage recipe that is for fresh sausage. I would like to cold smoke it so I figure I probably should add cure.
Based upon 5 lbs I figure it would be 1 tsp cure #1. The recipe calls for 1.6 oz salt. Should I adjust the salt?

If you want to keep the salt amount the same, reduce the amount of salt called for in the recipe to 1.4 oz.
