I am cooking 100 lbs., raw weight of butts for a picnic next weekend. How much BBQ sauce will I need? What is your best guess as to my yield of pulled pork? I am thinking 13 hours in my Cookshack 250 at 215 degrees, any thoughts?

we usually allocate 2 ounce per person. if unknown, the figure this way.. yeild will be about 45lbs. thats about a gallon, a little less.

Smokemaster,
When we pull the pork, we usually add a very thin sauce and dry rub. I offer extra sauce in small souffle cups to go with the meat. I'll usually put 2 souffle cups per lb of meat, if they're taking it to go. I can give them 2 choices of sauces that way. Or, I'll let the people squirt their prefferred amount of sauce on the meat. If they squirt, it's a smaller amount. Usually folks are nice that way.
The cups are about 1 oz.

Smokemaster,
We usually wind up with 50% yield. I use approximately 1/3 qt of a very thin BBQ sauce for every 10 lbs. of pulled pork. Using that idea, I would figure maybe 5/3 qt.(or 1 and 2/3 qt.) of thin sauce. Offer your house sauce in the cups or for the folks to use.

Thanks, Mike! Feels like I have a big concrete block attached to the bottom of a big fat right barefoot, but getting better!
Smokemaster,
If they don't go skimpy when they use the bottles, you just say, "Oh, you're going to feel kind of queasy after all that sauce!" It slows them right down.
