Hoping you guys can help me out with some numbers.... I'm smoking some butts for a friends stag. But not sure if I'm estimating my quantities needed.
Along with the pulled pork we'll have mac and cheese and slaw, so pulled pork will be the only meat.
I'm planning on feeding ~100 hungry guys.
Here's my estimations....
1/2 Pound cooked pork per guy
100 guys = 50 pounds cooked weight
Assuming a 40% loss,
50 pounds / 0.6 = 83 pounds uncooked weight
I figure that's about 9 butts.
A couple friends are telling me that I'm overestimating, and I'm not sure I'm estimating enough.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Titus
