I totally agree on a good scale in grams!2guysandacooler on youtube has a Slim Jim clone stick as well as a lot of other stick recipes. You can use them as is and them make adjustments. His recipes can be adjusted down to 454g. (1#) so you can make 1 pound at a time. Word of advice- get a scale and weigh in grams. it makes the ratios easy because it is on a 10 count system. You can use percentages and make 1 kilogram or 1000 Kg and it is as easy as multiplication.
