Friends,
I'm about to experience my first "for pay" smoke of butts for a small crowd. My kids' elementary has asked me to smoke Q for the staff end of year party, 60-65 people. I know how much pork I'll need, what to expect as a yield, what my sauce will cost, etc. What I don't know is a fair price to charge. I don't want to gouge, but I would like a fair exchange. Pricing by cost doesn't seem reasonable, so I'm thinking about a price per person. Any suggestions on what a fair price per person would be? Hopefully any answers will reflect experience smoking for a fee. Thanks all.
