A brisket will usually yield 1/2 to 2/3 meat to it's original weight after smoking. A good serving size is 1/3 lb per person.
The average brisket weighs about 12 pounds. There are some briskets that are as low as 7 pounds but most will be between 7 and 12.
How much brisket for 50 guest
1/4 lb. per person 100lb. should be enough
if you have 50 people you have to make like 100 briskets cause some people might want extras Actually there are a few unknowns that the question does not explain - I will usually purchase 1 lb (trimmed) brisket per person. So if I am having 8 to 10 people to feed, I will prepare around 10 lbs. brisket - this might be two 5 lb. briskets as long as it adds up to roughly one pound per person (before cooking).

I put about a half a pound on my plate. I like brisket... a lot... therefore, a lot of brisket, please.
On an average of 1/2 lb per person, you would need 100 lbs of brisket.
I would estimate about a half pound per person. In other words, quite a lot!
