New here — mostly pellet, started on a barrel

[grayhollow86]

Been smoking most weekends for about twelve years, started on a barrel and now run a pellet grill for anything over six hours. Biggest thing I got wrong early was buying by cooked weight — did a graduation party for forty, bought thirty pounds of packer brisket, and had maybe sixteen pounds on the table after trim and rendering. What's your rule of thumb for pulled pork per head?

If you want to serve each person 1/2 lb of pulled pork each I’d go 1lb of raw meat per person.

Roughly 40% is lost from cooking.
