How many servings from a brisket?

[fponzani]

I've been lurking through the BBQ/Grilling boards in preparation for my outdoor kitchen I hope to build next summer. It got me wondering how many servings can be expected out of a given size brisket, assuming there are a few other tasty side dishes on the table also?

I assume 4-8 oz per serving? Or if your a meat lover 16-32 oz per serving. lol

Depends what you mean, really, and how you want to serve it.

We generally do a 10-12 lb packer. (tip & flat) It will cook down to 8ish lbs. That is a lot of meat. If you cube the tip and make burnt ends, then slice the flat for serving, I'm sure you can feed 6 with sides.

I always figure 4 oz. for women and 8 oz. for men, then hope that there are not a lot of teenage boys. At one of our contests we had a party for friends. One of them had a 17 year old, who weight all of 125 lbs., eat a whole slab of spare ribs.
