A lot!! If I had to guess, depending on what rub you go with, I would say at least 1/4 cup per butt or at least 10 pounds. All depends how thick you lay it on..
i use about a 1/2 cup per butt if there Big..
4 ounces/butt is 20#s. A little extra sugar wouldn't hurt.
I guess you are talking about a cater... or is it a vend.The comp answers will say "you can not
pack enough on them.
Most folks seem to think at least 4 oz. and some "sugar in the raw' that won't burn will give a nice finish.

I would go lighter on the rub for the cook and I like to grind some rub up and apply it just before serving. Gives the pork a "taste" they won't be able to identify.
Like Smokin' says about preserving.
Pull your butts and taste.Just like you might season your dinner plate.
We learned from Byron Chism/Buttrub.com,also a CIA chef that a fine grind of your rub will be absorbed instantly as you apply it.
While some fine caterers like to add a little apple juice with equal amounts of their finishing sauce to moisten the pan,we like to use a little of Smokin's vinegar sauce.It moistens and takes away any fatty mouth feel.
Hope this helps a little.
