I figure on 50%. If it is less, I am pleasantly surprised.
I thought for a second there I had a weight loss partner! That scared me a little bit!
You got the smoker going so if you smoke to much you can vac-pack the excess for later use: ie a quick dinner, added to baked beans...
Good luck in the league! ;D
You MIGHT get lucky and only lose 40% of starting weight,
But like STC said closer to 50% is the norn.
Those are some lucky guys to be getting pulled pork.

X3
figure 4 to 8 oz per person of cooked weight and 50 % weight loss from raw to cooked

He's doing this for Fantasy Football League - probably mostly guys - go with 8 ounces cooked per person minimum. Leftovers freeze; shortages suck.

With my friends, all 4 ounces is going to do is piss them off. 4 ounces is a nice sized shot! ;)

Unless you buy oversized buns, 4oz makes a nice "normal" sandwich...
With FIXINS.. Guys will have 2 each -- the big guys maybe... 3 or 4...
But seriously --- assuming
other fixins... most will have 1 or 2...
All guys?--- figger 3 each to be safe. That's 12oz ---24 uncooked.
So, 48oz = 3lbs (raw) = 4 GUYS cooked.
Multiply GUYS x 0.75LBs (raw)
Or whatever. I've had a drink or 2towoowwwuhhh. Carry on.
all - Please forgive hal his lack of expository writing and math skills.
hal -Post this prominently in your kitchen:
• Four ounces pulled pork equals ½ pound raw (per person)
• Eight ounces pulled pork equals 1 pound raw (per person)
• Twelve ounces pulled pork equals 1½ pounds raw (per person)
• Call stc when you need to translate that into a shopping list for a known number of guests.

I must have missed the part of the post where elweezo asked for the proper amount of meat that goes on a sandwich. :)
Mike, plan on 50% reduction of raw weight. If it is only 40% that is more pork and leftovers for the cook.
Take the amount you plan to smoke after accounting for the weight loss and add 1 extra butt...
Someone will be by to pick it up once it is ready ;)
Ditto to the previous comments about vacuum saving leftovers
Don't know about freezing as it typically doesn't last that long - 1, 2 days MAX : all gone :P
Thanks guys, I am glad I asked (I have smoked butts B4 but have never paid attention to LBs) I am going with 2 6lbrs for 9 guys. That will give me Aprox 24 4oz sandwiches. Cant wait to show them what good pulled pork is and the ease of a Bradley. I am also gonna take some ABTs , they will go well with the keg of beer that we have..
CANT WAIT TILL SUNDAY!!!!!
I know I'm a little late here but when I plan for a party I figure on 1 lb raw weight per person.
There gonna want some thing to munch on later in the night. ;)

What he said. Makes it real easy to shop without doing math. ;D
Bag up the leftovers and send it home as door prizes..
That is a easy way to look at it.. thanks Any advice for the draft? I am thinking
