I need some help and suggestions

Options
So I have been talking with some people in a group chat about food and they have asked me if I would smoke a brisket for an event next month. I am fine doing it and I think I could do it well but I'm just not sure on how much I should charge. I've told them that if I am supplying the meat that it would be the price + cost of meat and that they would pick it up once it is done. They said they r fine with that and that it sounds good but I'm not sure how much I should charge for doing it. I did smoke some meat for a friend for a holiday but I just charged $20 plus price of meat and I was planning already planning to be smoking something at the time so it was only a little more work to smoke the meat for my friend before I did mine. This time I don't have plans to smoke so I would be setting it all up just to do this smoke and I don't want to ask to much but I don't want to charge to little. Has anyone had any experience with this and know what a fair price would be to charge.

    Are you a part of this group? Or a better question would be, are you a part of this group in regards to the event they want you to cook for?
    I would do a single cook for a group I am involved in for no charge plus the meat cost. If there are any more after that I would ask for some small compensation.

    Well I am not going to be at the event. In a way I am apart of the group but not the group asking if that makes sense.
