So you are feeding 120?

I'd go with 120 pounds, raw.  You might get an unpleasant surprise, and see 45-50% loss.  You'll probably have leftovers, but that is better than the alternative..

Exactly!  Always start with 1 pound raw per person.  The worst that can happen is you'll have great leftovers.

How did it turn out?  I would use the sassafras in a sauce instead of a rub BTW.
