    whote hog for 200 people

    Hey, you all.  I have been searching here and other places.   We plan to get a 120 lb hog. (we did a 100-110 lber a few years ago)   From what I read that should feed at 1/4 lb per person, maybe 160 people, right?    Just wanted some thoughts.   We plan to supplement with butts.  Thanks.

    Today's Turkey

    I finally ran a turkey brined and without having to spatchcock it. (My UDS does not have a some lid and now I have a vertical charcoal unit) Followed Jeff's brine and bacon butter recipe - getting the bacon butter under the skin is a challenge. Used with a BBQ guru!

We also did 12 butts, 1 brisket (for fun since I am learning this).   I also had 2 UDS and a vertical smoker on site.  (we did this...
