How much butt to make?

[Joe P]

Having a fall party this Saturday. 22 adults & 9 kids. Was planning on having 2 butts about 16 pounds total for pulled pork sandwiches.

In addition, we're grilling some boneless chicken (2-4 lbs)for those who don't like pork--crazy as it may seem.

We're also having the typical side dishes and appetizers.

Question is do you think 16 lbs of pork butt is enough? If not, how much would you recommend?

16 pounds of raw product is about 8 pounds of finished. If you serve 1/4 pound sandwiches that 32. The makeup of the crowd will dictate if you need more pork. I would add an additional butt, if not needed it can be frozen, they keep well.
