I would also like to do something like this as a side job/hobby.
The only thing is, without buying in bulk from good + cheap sources it doesn't seem that profitable.
Mind you, when I worked it out, I only worked out using pulled pork rolls as the product to sell with home made slaw.
It was a while ago but I think I worked it out as I could profit approx £10 per butt sold - so unless I was to sell 10 butts and then a few other things it wouldn't be worth it - even then how many hours of work will need to go into it for say £100 earnings.
If anyone else has worked things out and would provide the information that would be great as at work my mind isn't quite figuring things out again.
**EDIT**
Ok so very quick and probably incorrect math in my head was...
9lbs pork shoulder £25
12 buns - £2
Home made slaw - £5
Total cost for just this is £32
the 9lbs butt would provide enough to feed approx 9 people using 50% loss and 0.5lbs per serving
Selling this at £5 per roll would yield £45.
