    I just provided meat for a family dinner of 20 people and sent 6 lbs of pulled pork and 36 smoked chicken thighs.  In catering we figure 6 oz of meat per adult and 3 oz per child.

    Thanks for the input. Pulled pork will be the main course with slaw and chips. I also came across a formula on the Naked Whiz site to determine the amount of raw meat I'll need.

    Just cooked an 11 lbs whole shoulder last weekend.  5 adult males absolutely destroyed it.  Hardly any left overs at all. I would plan on 3 or 4 8 lbs butts. You will ot have a hard time giving away the leftovers.
