Question
If I am preparing boston butt pulled pork for 120 people attending a luncheon, hove many pounds of pork will I need?  Thanks

Answer
Hi Greg,
For Boston butt the general rule is 1 1/2 pounds per person due to the amount of fat and bone in the roast. Allot will depend on the amount of side dishes you are serving as well. Since its a luncheon it might be safe to calculate 1 pound per person. So between 120 pounds and 180 pounds should suffice.
Regards and Happy Grilling,
