How many buns will I need?
We smoked approx 60 pounds of pulled pork and I have no clue how many buns to buy for sandwiches!!
Answers:
i'd say 2-3 per pound (depending on how big of sandwiches you think people will eat), so that's 120-180 buns.
also, consider that not everyone will want buns (at least not where i'm from), some people will just eat the pulled pork with a fork, coleslaw, beans (whatever you have) but with no buns. in this case, you will probably need less.
i would buy 80 too be safe most people will prolly put a pound of pork on a sandwich
Yum!!!, invite me over and I'll bring the buns.
daammnn...thats alot of pork being pulled
A pound of pork on a sandwich is ridiculous. Probably a half-pound is a better estimate. I'd go with at least 120 buns.
I would say you could get three decent sized sandwiches out of one pound, so I would go with 180 buns. Good Luck and Have fun.
it depends on how many people you are planning to serve...but it is a general rule for pulled pork bbq 3 to 4 oz per serving on a bun....240 to 320 buns
i would go with like 100-120 or so because that is alot of pork
If you figure that each pound will produce 4- 4 oz sandiwches, you will need about 240 buns. I love BBQ, when's dinner? : )
I agree with shipps and jonni_ha that you will need 240 to 320 buns for the amount of pork you have smoked. However, if you are not having that many people you will need buns for at least one sandwich per person and then a few extra for those people who will eat 2 or 3. I also agree that some people will eat only the pork and whatever you are serving with it. I would make sure you have room for the leftover buns to freeze and I would not heat all the pork at once, maybe 40 to 45 lbs to start with. This all depends on the way you have your party set to go.
