Yes sir....at a minimum, 8 oz cooked per person. If you have more meat eaters, might have to increase it a bit more. The Chef's numbers are correct!JJ is about spot on. The other week I smoked a 13lb brisket for about 12 people and it was gone in 20 mins.
Everyone usually hits brisket hard.
Yep...After trimming to 1/4" cap and cooking. The Top Butt is leaner and you cook no more than Medium so there is less weight loss from trim and cooking, thus a greater yield...JJThanks everyone! So with brisket its safe to say you need about 1 pound raw per person because you only yield half that amount cooked
Hey, if you want to leave the full Fat Cap on, you can. Here is a great Video on how it's done...JJWhoa, hold the phone!! Trimming cap!? I have some research to do
