Well think it would scale up something similar to this. Thanks to Deputy Dats for supplying the figgers. Now this take it as you mean how to weigh it instead of measuring it..which maybe you just want to make a larger batch? I aint sure now that I thunk on it. Generally if you can get the salt right the other stuff dont matter too much. Always figger on 1.5 t. salt per pound of meat. Can't hardly go wrong less you start messing around with Anise seeds.

---------------------------------------------------------
Example: If a recipe calls for one ounce of Allspice, then you would use 5 level tablespoons.

The pdf is cleaner

BW chart 1 oz Allspice = 14.9 tsp = (4.9667) TBSP
NDSU chart 1 oz Allspice = (15tsp) = 5.0 TBSP
So probably close enough for most applications

the salt is perfect in this batch. These came out real smoky and had a great rich beefy taste. Excellent to mix in a pot of greens with a side of cornbread or throw on a nice soft hoagie smothered with BBQ sauce :D

Note on the paprika. I was not at my regular grocer who has sweet hungarian paprika so I used regular paprika. I don't know if the sweet would add any extra flavor but the color came out a real rich mahogany color.
