The Pulled Pork Thread

[Bo Diddley]

I know several here have experience cooking for large groups. When cooking pulled pork, how much in pre-cooked weight do you plan on buying per person?

If you look back a page or two, you'll see a discussion on the pork I cooked for a YSA activity.

Each butt will feed 15-20 people. Plan on 15 to be conservative.

This is assuming ~8 lb butts.

There may come a day when my wife realizes that all she needs for delicious BBQ is a login for CS. A day when she abandons me and seeks out better smoked pork.

But it is not this day.



Costco bone-in butts, JL's rub recipe and smoking process, and a homemade Carolina mustard sauce, courtesy of All-American's recipe in this same thread. Thanks guys! Making me look good for 6 years running.

If you're going to be talking about bone-in butts, You really should have a NSFW warning.

Man, I really need to try that Carolina mustard sauce. I've got to remember this the next time I do pulled pork.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Bravo.

Yep. That was pretty close. We had two dozen people, and I bought five dozen rolls, but ended up with 1.75 dozen left over rolls, which will go quickly with some leftovers. Love those rolls!



Clack, where is this Lavern's Bakery you speak of?

[Bo Diddley]

We usually do 2 per person. Grab them early because they typically run out.

We prefer Lavern's bakery - and we allot 7 rolls person - 10 for me.

Yeah last time I tried to pick some up the line was out the door and they were gone before I could get any. I just called and placed a preorder.
