Hey all. Got a char broil charcoal vertical smoker for my birthday and I am going straight for the pork butt this weekend. Got a 7 lb'er I am about to rub tonight. Plan is to eat around 7:00 pm so I will have the meat on around 5:00 am. Hope to be done with a couple hours to rest. My question is this. I bought the butt before I knew the final head count. There will be 10 average eaters there and I don't want to run short. I'd much rather have leftovers. I am thinking of getting another smaller butt, maybe 6ish lbs, and making sure there are leftovers. Would this be way too much? Would 7 lbs be plenty for 10 people? I saw the 1 lb per person uncooked rule after I bought it. Can't wait to get started though! Will try to do pics throughout.
