Boston Butt for 10?

[medicine man]

How heavy a bone-in butt do I need for 10? Actually, I'll probably do a couple, instead of one big one.

Thx!

I believe you would want to to have approx 3/4 lb per person unless they are big eaters and or you want left overs then go a bit heavier,my .02 worth

We're firefighters, so we usually double what the "normal" person would make! Gonna do pulled pork for the fourth.

Go BIG ...don't want those boys hungry, have a great time on the 4th

i'd guess (judging by my feeds) 4 8-10 pounders.

Far better to have too much than not enough.....

Did two 7 pounders for my B-day and fed about 20 with a couple pounds left over for me to inhale the next day

i usually trim a lot of fat off after & save some of the bone meat w/ the bone to freeze for beans or blackeyed peas thats why i say so much.
