BBQ Pro Calculator
Let's plan your perfect BBQ! Just fill in the details below.
Our estimates are based on typical consumption averages to give you a great starting point. We assume about 1 lb of total meat per man, 0.75 lb per woman, and 0.5 lb per child. For drinks, we estimate 3-4 cans/bottles per adult for a medium-duration event. These values are adjusted based on the event's duration and your guests' appetite level. Remember, it's always better to have a little extra than not enough!
Sirloin Cap (Picanha): A Brazilian favorite, prized for its flavor and fat cap. Grill fat-side down first, then slice into steaks to finish.
Top Sirloin: A lean and flavorful cut. Great for skewers (kabobs) or as whole steaks.
Chicken Wings: A crowd-pleaser. Marinate them overnight for maximum flavor. Cook over indirect heat to avoid flare-ups.
What's the best charcoal? Lump charcoal burns hotter and cleaner than briquettes, offering better flavor.
How do I calculate for vegetarians? As a rule of thumb, plan for 2-3 veggie burgers or large vegetable skewers per vegetarian guest.
