could anyone tell me about how many lbs of pork butt i would need for 15 adults and the amount of tiome for it. i already have many of your recepies, thank you
There are a lot of variables there.
15 guys over to watch the game, or some of them ladies from Church? ;D
Figure a 40% to 50% weight loss on cooking.
I then usually figure 1/2 lb cooked per person, that allows for hearty eaters,seconds and some leftovers. If the budget is tight then do 1/4lb.
So I would cook between 14-16 lbs of raw pork. roughly 1 two-pack from Sams club.
That is going to take about 18-24 hours to get to an IT of 190-200F
FTC a few hours and enjoy.
You could cook it ahead and re-heat in a couple of crock pots with a little vinegar sauce.
i just picked up one 7 pounder at cub, so maybe get another and some chicken. cant go wrong with that. thanks

As long as you have a freezer, you can't make too much pulled pork.

That will be good for about 4lbs of pulled pork.
That will make 16 1/4lb pork sammies.
No leftovers.

Sounds like a plan. Put the chicken under the pork unless kosher is an issue.

I'm thinking you'd have to have two smokers. That's it! I'm telling SWMBO I need another smoker for kosher stuff! Pastrami, etc.

Yeah! That's it! I
_need_ a DBS6 / MAK Three StarGeneral for when I cook for my Kosher friends.
Now where can I find some kosher friends? ::)

Might try a butcher shop but probably not the same place you get your pork butts.
