Butt Portion Question

are there any sides with it. If this is the only meat and little or now sides go with the 3 eight pounders. A little extra is better than short. Four pound diference should not brake the bank.

Nothing besides sandwiches? How boring

But I'm sure you cook up some great stuff so they won't want anything else.

Without sides and nothing else, they'll want to eat more.

Think of it like this. 20 lbs will cook down to 10 lbs. 40 people / 10 lbs is 1/4 pound per person. 4 oz isn't a lot to feed an adult without sides.

20 lbs of butt will cook out to approx 10 lbs of pulled pork. At 4 ozs per sandwich, you will have enough for 40 sandwiches. My guess is... add another 10lb butt to be sure.

Smoke some bush's baked beans, they're cheap to purchase. Drain the (BIG) cans of the liquid, add onion, garlic, Lee and Parrins(sp?) and some of your favorite BBQ sauce and some yellow mustard. Smoke for several hours (I use my off-set for this) and stir the beans about every 45 minutes. If you don't want to make your own get some KFC Coleslaw. Here's a link with the recipe.
