In about three weeks, I need to cook some pulled pork for 12 people,
half men - half women. Going to make sandwiches on buns, smaller
than a hamburger bun. Will also have potato salad, pinto beans,
pickles, and a desert.

I figure I'll need about 5 to 6 pounds of cooked meat. Does this
sound like too much or too little?

To end up with 6 pounds cooked, I figure I'll need two ten pound
butts (that is 40% shrinkage). Is this about right?

I plan to cook it a day ahead of time, to be served about 6:30 the
next evening. I don't think I should wrap it in foil, towels, and
put it in a cooler for 24 hours, so I will have to refrigerate it.
How long should I let a six pound butt cool before tossing it in the
fridge?

To heat it the next day, I figure to put it in the over at about 225
degrees and bring the meat temp back up to 190. What is a rough
time to do this (3 - 4 hours, 5 - 6 hours, or more or less)?

Any suggestions I have not thought of. Your help is appreciated.
