Pitts & Spitts Maverick 1250 - Pork Butt - Butcher Paper Vs. Aluminum Foil
In this video I fire up the Pitts & Spitts Maverick 1250 and smoke up 2 pork butts! The temps were a bit on the chilly side throughout this cook but the Maverick 1250 chugged right along and probably used about 15 pounds of pellets. I ran the pit at 275F for the duration of this cook and the total cook time was 8 hours. At the 5 hour mark I wrapped one of the butts in Aluminum Foil and the other in Butcher Paper. I used Tailgaters BBQ Party Rub for the rub and I used Lumberjack Competition blend pellets.
My favorite way to do a pork butt is to wrap in Aluminum Foil but for this cook I liked the way the butt turned out better in the butcher paper. If you have any questions please feel free to drop a comment otherwise thanks for stopping by and hope to see ya again in the next video. 🍻🍻
