I am smoking for 20 big eater adults and 8 kids. How many pounds of meat (net) and how many gallons of slaw and beans do I need to make sure there is enough without sending anyone off with 5 pounds of extras?
Sliced brisket and pulled pork for the meat. Cole slaw and bbq baked beans for the sides. There'll be bread, cookies, pickles and all, but those are the four main things I'm making.
Figure 1/3 lb meat ,pp after cooking . 3oz scoop of each side will give everyone a good meal . Then add acouple of lbs of each meat and some extra sides just in case someone is real hungry, drops a plate etc.
