Pulled Pork the easy way.
Really good Pulled Pork takes hours of low and slow cooking and it worth every second! When your camping or just cooking outdoors you may not have a smoker available or the time. Thats where those trusty Dutch ovens come in!
Here is an article I wrote for Camp Chef about cooking Pulled Pork in a Dutch oven, hope you enjoy it!

How many does 4 pounds of pork serve?

Carla,
You didn’t say cooked or uncooked? Here is my answer for cooked:
I usualy plan a half pound of cooked pulled pork per person. If you add the bun, and all of the goodies to go with it a half pound is very filling. Big eaters will want a pound for sure
So you should get 6 – 8 servings out of your 4 pounds of cooked pulled pork.
Uncooked? I can only guess at the shrinkage, but your looking at about 35% – 40%, then there is the weight of the bone… I would plan on 1 pound of raw pork per person and that might be on the high side. Think of left-overs as a good thing
Great question!! Thank you,
Gary
