PSA: Found out a brisket loses about 40% of its weight in the smoker, so my 14 lb packer was really 8 lbs on the plate
A guy at the meat counter in Waco told me this after I asked why my cook times kept coming out wrong, and now I'm rethinking how I plan for a crowd, does anyone else weigh their meat before guests show up or am I the only one doing this?

Man, that weight loss number hit me different when I found it out too. I used to cook two pork butts for a party of twenty and figured I had plenty, then watched half the tray disappear before folks even got through the line. Now I just buy more than I need and eat leftovers all week, beats running out while people are still hungry.
