Looks good, Scott... but how the heck did you do pulled pork in 4 hours?

No way you can smoke a pork butt and get it to pull in 4 hours. But you can braise it in the oven and it will pull at 4hrs. It's much much much better when you let it go really slow and low but it can be done in a hurry.

Yea you can get a pork butt, cut it in half, rub it, stick it in a deep pan and cover it with foil.  Start it in a 400 oven to get it going and drop the temp to 350.  Keep it covered the whole time. At 4hrs it's not going to be great but it will pass and it will pull. It's really not the best way to do it but it can be done.

The amount of meat you decide to portion for each person can be varied pretty heavily depending on whether you are doing pulled pork sandwiches vs. just the meat. Also, having a lot of side dishes would allow you to go with smaller meat portions.

I don't cater, but I do host large parties at my house. When there are a great deal of people coming from my husband's side of the family they basically eat only meat and ignore sides. I think this may be a regional thing, because people from my region of greece don't eat much meat at all.
