Pulled Pork for 30

[Thomassen]

My daughter asked me to make pulled pork for my grandson's birthday in a couple of weeks, weather permitting. Anyone have an estimate on how much Pork Butt to buy for 30?

Thanks, in advance.

How many with approximate ages will help. If your grandson is a teenager, he and his friends need to be counted as maybe 1.5 persons each. If your grandson is around 6 - 8, maybe .5 persons each.

I had the same question before, check this thread here in particular the answer from LA Pork Butt and it’ll give you a good idea.

I did pulled pork for about 30 last 4th of July. I did 30 lbs pre cooked and we had leftovers. Of course there were a lot of sides there as well.

I always figure a 1/2 lb of raw butt for each person. You will have some eat more, some eat less, and I've always had enough to satisfy everyone and still have a bit left over.
