Hi guys just wondering if i could put insta cure numer 2 instead of morton quick? thx

No, #2 is used for things that you want to hang and dry.  It has Nitrate and Nitrite as well as salt.  You can probably use #1, but you need to cut down on the quantity.  MTQ you would use 1 TBL per pound, and #1 you would use around 1/4 tspn per pound.  Hopefully Habs will chime in here and correct me if I am wrong.

That is an accurate measure for a pound, but when you get closer to 5 pounds then it becomes 1 teaspoon. If you are doing a dry rub it is difficult to apply that small amount so it best to make the Basic Dry Cure and apply it 1 tablespoon per pound.

Toker;
I think I understand your question about using InstaCure #2, instead of InstaCure #1 in the Basic Dry Cure Recipe. Although TQ has both nitrite and nitrates, substituting InstaCure #2 in the Basic Dry Cure recipe will not give your the same nitrite/nitrate ratio that is in TQ. As Mike stated you don't need a nitrate for cured foods that will be cooked.
