Why Keep Butchers Twine in Your BBQ Kit?

• Over 385 feet per spool: Plenty of twine for repeated cooking projects.
• #24 gauge cotton: Designed for tying and securing meat during preparation.

• Truss poultry: Secure chicken or turkey legs and wings for a tidier shape.
• Great for crown roasts: Help keep a prepared roast in position.
• Useful indoors and outdoors: Suitable for oven cooking and indirect-heat BBQ smoking when kept away from flames.

How to Use Cotton Butchers Twine

1. Cut a length of twine appropriate for the cut of meat.
2. Wrap it around the roast or poultry and tie a secure knot, keeping the twine snug without cutting deeply into the meat.
3. Add ties at intervals as needed to hold the shape.
4. Cook according to your recipe and verify doneness with a meat thermometer.
5. Snip and remove every piece of twine before slicing and serving.

Pitmaster tip: Tying helps a loose roast hold its shape, but it isn't a substitute for proper cooking technique or temperature checks. Keep cotton twine away from direct flame and exposed heating elements because cotton can scorch or burn.

Simple prep. Better control over the shape of your cook. Trust Your Butcher.

Is this twine made from cotton?

Cotton does not melt like many synthetic fibers, but it can scorch or burn if exposed to flame or excessive heat. Do not use it as a flame-resistant material.

It can be useful for tying certain prepared meat products, but curing and drying require a validated food-safety process. Follow a trusted recipe and any material requirements for that process.

Let Me Tell You More

Some of the most useful tools in BBQ aren't complicated. Butchers twine is a perfect example. When I need to hold a rolled roast together or keep a chicken neatly trussed, I reach for cotton twine.

It lets you control the shape of the meat before the cook starts. A few ties can keep loose pieces from flopping open while you're seasoning, moving, or cooking the roast. That makes preparation more manageable and the finished presentation cleaner.

With over 385 feet on the spool, you can keep it in your prep kit and cut off what you need. Tie it, cook it, and remember to remove it before serving. Trust Your Butcher.
