Can anyone make a recommendation for how much brisket I should cook to feed 12-15 people (men and women, some heavy-eaters, some light) along with all the fixins? I've got one that weighs 3 lbs pre-cooked, but I'm worried that won't be enough...

a half pound of cooked brisket avg. per person is plenty, the women will eat less

brisket

if you're going to smoke it, go for a 8lb untrimmed brisket. if you're baking a trimmed brisket, I'd go 1/3 to 1/2 lb per person.

Like they said LOTS of sides lol.

There is a ton of info on this at www.texasbbqrub.com. Go to their forum and that's all that a bunch of those guys do is large or semi-large cooks. I am not affiliated with this company at all, I just like their rub and instructions and information.

8-10 lb raw brisket will do. gonna loose some weight when cooked.
