weight loss pork, beef
I recall this being discussed before, but don't remember the
ratios. When smoking a 10# butt, for instance, what would you expect the finished, bone OUT, pulled pork to weigh? How does that compare to a brisket, for instance, in your experience? -- Nonny Have you ever wondered if the bills in your wallet were ever in a stripper's butt crack? Have a nice day .. |

I take it you're feeding a crowd. Figure 1/3 pound meat per person if sides will be served; breads, beans, slaw, salad, spud, veggies and tofu. Unless, the crowd is a bunch of teenagers; in which case all bets are off. Do report back. Pierre |

Do others concur with this percentage > of loss for a packer cut brisket?> The 30 - 40% concurs with my experiences on brisket. Whether it is the pieces I pick out, or the way I cook it, usually my finished brisket hits about the 25% less than starting weight mark. However, I trim down to about 1/4" fat all the way around, and cut off all the hard stuff before I apply rub or smoke. So I might be cutting off a half pound or so of fat or more on a 15# brisket before it ever sees the pit. That would raise it back up to about +/- 30% if I was actually calculating from the original package weight. Of course, each piece of meat is different, but that seems the norm for me. Robert |
