What To Charge

[mgent]

Hello, I have my first “customer” asking me what I will charge to smoke some meat for them. Hoping y’all can give me an idea of how to calculate a fair price to charge a friend of a friend ... Price of meat + price of wood + time it takes + beer I drank = ?

Seriously though, I appreciate any tips

Welcome to the Forum. These folks are the best and will guide you through the process. Take a look at the thread - How many Boston butts | Smoking Meat Forums - The Best Barbecue Discussion Forum On Earth! You will find a lot of information to help, and a couple of spread sheets that I posted (msg # 13 & 18) to help with creating amounts/cost/profit numbers. The spreadsheets do come with instructions.
