3 Year Pellet Grill Review | Pitts & Spitts Pellet Grill Review

#pelletgrill #bbq

In this weeks video I do a 3 year pellet grill review of my Pitts & Spitts Maverick 1250. There isn't a whole lot of bad with this pellet grill and the fact that i've had it for 3 years and only had a few issues is impressive! This pellet grill has been used in all the weather you could imagine and just keeps chuggin. To anyone in the market for a pellet grill I would highly recommend spending a little extra cash and buying a Pitts & Spitts. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video!

I've had mine about 3 years. Love it. It gets garage space with my motorcycle in one bay so 2 cars have to sit out in the driveway. I use the 1250 way more than my motorcycle! Also, my burn pot is always clean every time I check it. It's expensive but I love mine! It brings me joy so that's what it's all about. I think it's plenty big! I swear I could cook for my whole street because I think the bottom rack holds a crap-ton! This is one device that I will keep with me till I can't walk anymore. Also, I have watched a lot of your videos and it was very helpful. At first we want to dial everything in perfectly... but that perfection desire subsided with me and this grill has made me nothing but happy! Thanks again for your content. I watched all of your 1250 stuff 🙂

Great review. I have had mine about 3.5 years and agree 100% with what you said. It is an absolute tank. I have only replaced one hot rod. Even in my climate (Detroit, MI area) in the winter and without a blanket, I can do overnight cooks and only use 20-ish lbs of pellets. It truly is a well-engineered and designed machine. The money was spent in R&D and it shows. No gimmicks, no bullshit, no bottle openers. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t.

Im currently using an Pit Boss 850 navigator while im saving up to this one. The Maverick 1250 cost 4000$ in Norway.... im half way there! haha

[fwood]

Had my Maverick 850 for 6 years. Replaced one hot rod. Excellent investment for my needs.

I'm the opposite, have the wifi on my traeger, love it! Can take the dog out for a walk or go fourwheelin for a while and still keep an eye on my cook. I used it like 2 days ago when my kids wanted to go skating and i adjusted the temp from the rink. Its awesome.

Congrats on 3 years! That is an awesome Pellet Grill!

[petercassidy]

I have an 850, absolutely love it, I use it 5 out of 7 days. I had a kamado joe and just gave it to my contractor

Absolute BEST pellet grill period. Love my 1250 with smoke box! You definitely get what you pay for

Wow, just like listening to a young Tom Horseman! I like the format, nice review.

Can't say enough good stuff about my 1250. I have had mine since early 2020. If you move it around at all, I would suggest the wheel upgrades. To save money on the thermal cover, I use a welding blanket and I have had good success with it. $20 vs $199 is a hard pill to swallow for something that amounts to a "blanket". Thanks for the great review/update Brian!

Really great review on this Pitts N Spitts pellet grill Brian! It’s definitely a beast. Well built and USA made. I was on the fence between this and the Memphis Pro. Yeah I know it’s pricey but it holds temps better than my stove even in zero weather. It’s all 304 SS and like Tom, looks brand new and I use aluminum foil. I’m with you…should have gone bigger. Cheers brother!

Same here. Have the WiFi and never use it. I monitor with fireboard and almost never need to adjust temp remotely. Don’t waste the money. Good vid. Your vids back in the day helped me decide on buying this. Also bought the smoke daddy hybrid deflector it will give you a bit more smoke I’m team foil heh but your drip pan looks good i might move to no foil. Gotta pick up the cold weather cover.

[JJMassar]

I’m in the market for either one of these or a Yoder YS640…can’t decide! All of these new smokers are so good!

[joshuamason]

I have the full stainless 850, badass

[swmiller]

Great review. Everything is wonderful out of the box, so this was awesome. I’d like to upgrade but my 2011 Daniel Boone just keeps on plugging away.

[jameshuston]

Great Video Brian! What you making for Easter, I'm stuck between Ham or Brisket or maybe something else that Sam's has. And you can call me Jim

[dogisrain]

Good video. I'm getting a Pitts & Spitts to replace my MADE IN CHINA Traeger.

[tedz.]

My Traeger Timberline has WiFi. I use it, but I guess if it quit working tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it. I seriously dread the day I have to change the glow rod. I, like you, use my pellet grill for chicken and low and slow cooks. One thing is for certain, the metal parts on the Pitts and Spitts are way more robust than my Traeger. I'd consider Pitts and Spitts if I had to replace my Traeger. I'd also consider the Lonestar Grillz pellet smoker.

No issues with my reqtec 700 that I paid $1200 for!! Flawless performance and amazing customer service.
