Well now, I guess it would depend if you have bone in or bone out? Let's just figure they are bone in,good kind to buy! After cooking to an internal temp of 195* and a probe slides in and out with no resistance. I'd guess about 5-6 lbs of pulled pork, maybe a little less or more, depending on if they were enhanced PB's to start with, those are bad!
I'd figure on 4 sandwiches for a pound of finished meat, no sense in skimping.
You're welcome!

like Cal says, depends on the cut. For quick quesstimate I usually just plan on 50% loss. So with a total of 10# that would be 5# cooked. At 4 oz. per sandwich/serving that make around 20 servings. Then you gotta figure on how many may go after 2nds or larger servings and also what other choices there are.
There can be so many factors.
Who are you feeding. Men, women, kids or young adults. Are you going to serve, or do self serve. Are you selling one at a time, or as a meal.
I like to go with 3 per pound. But I do alot of meals with 15-18 year old kinds and it seems they can eat thier own weight in BBQ.
