Good choice of meat.

When I do it I keep soft veggies and mushrooms on their own skewers away from things like pepper or onions because they burn so easy.

Yup, I think each type of veggie will have it's own skewer, then just dume the results onto plates for easy pita makin.

I'd still throw an occasional pepper/onion slice into the meat skewers just for flavor. Peppers especially can take some heat.

Think in terms of one pita full of meat and veggies as a serving... how many lbs of meat per # of people is a good guide? (heading to store in a few minutes)

If you go half a pound per person you'll be fine. That's like a half pound burger plus veggies if you think about it.

I think you'll find that your 2 lbs/6 people will be more than enough if you're going the pita route.
