I do mine in the workshop which is shut overnight and you can definitely smell it for the first few days, makes me hungry working in the workshop during the day!!! During the day if the weather is good I just leave the door open to get a bit of circulation. If I make it in the depths of winter I will also run the dehumidifier in the workshop for the first couple of days, this dries the air during the time when most of the moisture is drawn out of the meat.
