Planning a Saturday party with 20 people... 17 adults... Gonna have plenty of sides, and a dessert. Also gonna throw some hot-dogs on just in case. Do you think 2 7.5lbs butts will do the trick....Is that too much or too little.

Thanks
 
DM...

Here is the formula....

50% yield from the butt, so 15 lbs raw weight will get you 7.5 lbs. of cooked meat. Plan on 1/4 lb. sammiches so you get 30 sammiches from that 7.5 lbs. Of course you can plan on 1/3 lb. sammiches but sounds like you got lots of sides.
 
Thanks Chris...it's GREAT to be back! I just have to start carving some time out and get back into things here!

Great to feel welcome!
