How much pulled pork for 20 athletes

xr750Member

Going to see my "step-son" (young man that I mentor) this weekend. He's in MI, training with US Rowing collegiate team. They leave next week to represent the US at World University Games in Seoul, Korea and I'm doing a pulled pork dinner dinner Saturday night. Will be smoking here in Piitsburgh and reheating there. Read another post about freezing in 2.5 gallon bags and reheating in hot water; thinking that's my plan unless suggested otherwise.

So, he's the little guy in the pic, 2nd from right. http://www.gofundme.com/l24tps

and I'm thinking they will eat (devour) at least 2x a normal adult serving.

Question: how many lbs. of pork would you folks reco to smoke? Any thoughts on how much cole slaw and marinated veg salad?

Any input greatly appreciated. Some leftovers is good, not enough is bad.

Four 10# Butts will yield ~20# pulled pork. One pound/person is overkill but you won't run out and the leftovers won't be wasted.

Like Joe, I always plan for a 50 percent yield. Lately on the FEC 100, I've been getting about 65 percent yield out of Sam Butts, but that depends on the fat content and how long you smoke them, etc.
