So I need to cure it. The old timer at the meat market says 4 ounces per 100 pounds. I got 6 pounds of beef. How the hell much am I supposed to use?
If I can pull this off this is gonna be some good shit.

    1 ounce is 28 grams, so 1/4 of that would be 7 grams. You should get a scale that does 1 gram increments.

    also if you look on line for the Good Eats episode that goes into making your own beef jerky

    it goes by weight- 7 grams o flour is different than 7 grams of sugar. What does your curing mix resemble the most? I can then try to give you an approximation.

    It's a salt.

    What would be the easiest ratio to remember for the future, short of buying 100 lbs of meat!

    HAHAHAHAHA that's funny as I was just going thru a Where's Waldo book with my daughter a few days ago!

    Well please introduce yourself next time you find me - I'll buy you a beer, unless I'm in a coffee shop :)

    Maybe I should find a disguise. I take it you'll be at the Chicago show(s)?
