umm,  for whats its worth,    there are 28 grams in an ounce... so if the
stove weighed  less than half a gram, than  it does not weigh 1.4  oz.
there are 15.62 or so grains in a gram and 28 grams in an ounce,   one small
paper clip weighs 6 grains as a comparison,  and would be close to 0.4 grams.

I have a RCBS model 304 Pharmasutical grade powder scale i use to measure
gunpowder and it weighs  down to 1/10th of one grain
