Question
I need to know how much boston butt to bar b q for a hundred people.I am going to put the meat on a smoker

Answer
Bryant:


Is good to calculate between 5 to 7 Oz per person, but, you have to take in account the shrinkage during cooking which is about 25%, then that means you buy 6,5 to 8,74 Oz per person, which means: 39 to 55 Lb-100 People.

Thanks,
Enrique
