Any general rule for how many people a pork butt will feed? I'm cooking for around 25-30 people on saturday and was wondering how many to throw on the MAK.
Two large butts (no more than 18 - 20 lbs total) will be more than enough.
Whenever I plan a large cookout, parties etc. if it's the only meat, then I count on 1/2 lb per person (pre-cooked & bone-in weight) and always have left over. If there will be other meats or main dishes then 1/3 lb per person is plenty.
