Depends on how you serve them. If the ribs are done and put out first,
minimum of a half rack per person. More for the big guys.

If the butts are pulled and served you will need much less ribs. Give the
early vultures something to fill their tummies with first, maybe toss them
a sausage. Normally, figure about 4 to 6 ounces of cooked meat per lady,
about 8 ounces per man.
