Pulled Pork for a large crowd
How much pulled pork will 26 pounds (12 Kg) of raw boneless pork butt make?
I am making this in several crock-pots. This is my first time making pulled pork for a large crowd

It depends on your portion size. If you figure a 6 oz portion and 45 - 50% loss on boneless pork butt (based on some internet research)...I would estimate that 26 lbs would feed around 35 people.

How many sandwiches will 10 pounds of pulled pork make?
A whole butt can weigh in at 10 pounds, which yields enough pork for around 30 sandwiches. Pulled pork improves after a day in the fridge, so if that changes your mind about leftovers, make the whole thing. But you can always ask your butcher to cut a smaller portion.How many pounds of pulled pork will feed 35 people?
Generally, allow four to five ounces of boneless meat for each guest at lunch. Plan for a bit more meat, about five to seven ounces, if you're serving dinner to your crowd. For a party of 30 to 40 people, this works out to be nine to 12 pounds of pulled pork for lunch, and 13 to 17 pounds for dinner.How many pounds of pulled pork Do I need to make 60 sandwiches?

Answer 2
Each Kg (2.2 lb) is will result in at least 0.6 Kg (1.3 lb) of pulled pork (a similar amount for beef)
A large dinner serving is 200 g (8 oz), or a typical dinner burrito requires 50 g, budget two burritos per person
There is a 20% to 40% loss by weight of fat and fluid depending on quality of pork and cooking method and temperature
Remember not to stuff your crock-pot above the inner rim, or it will overflow with the release of fat and fluids. Most crock-pots will not take more than 4 to 5 Kg (10 to 22 lb) of meat, and will take 20 to 24 hours to cook this amount on low
We produced pulled pork for burritos for 50 people last week, 5 Kg in one large crock-pot, 24 hours on low. The group eat a proper mixed diet, so meat serving size less than the typical North American slab. It was perfect :-)
Answer 3
Host a lot of parties, typically I plan on 1 pound per person as a general rule of thumb.
