I found mine on Amazon. . . . . They have a lot of them at all ranges of prices.

Take a look,

Look at scales with 1/100th of a gram resolution (.01 gram). Should find good ones in the $25 range on amazon. If you go with 1/100th of a gram resolution, then you can make smaller test batches of a recipe as it is only 1.13 grams of cure #1 per pound. Also get a calibration weight sized for your scale. Some larger scales have a several gram range of accuracy and that would never work for cure & spices.

This is the one I have. I have a larger scale for bulk meat measurement.

Just make sure you read the details of the scale. Many scales of this nature, including good ones, say they are accurate above 3 grams. A better scale is needed to get below that 3 gram mark. As dward51 states small experiments need a very good scale.

Dave, your post is blank. Was it one of those "illegal" links?

There are so many scales out there. Mine weighs up to 10 lbs. And does weight in grams or ounces.
However it only goes to 1/10 of a gram, but that seems to be close enough for me.
