WHICH TWINE?

[Richard Garcia]

Can you use any old twine to tie up a Rotisserie chicken placed on Weber Performer Deluxe charcoal grill?

 

[J Grotz]

Since it goes on food, I would not trust just any old string. I use what's called butcher's twine. One spindle will last a long long time. Perhaps you can find something like this locally:

J Grotz: Looks good and thanx for your recommendation. The Amazon Site states that this twine is flammable, so, as long as you do not put it over a direct flame one should be OK.

I gather that my untested Cajun Bandit Rotisserie with a tied-up chicken will spin close to the lighted Charcoal; thus, will not ignite this Twine??

When I started tying for the roti, I googled "food safe twine." Tons of options. Just avoid any twine that might be sprayed or coated with wax/paraffin

Also, make sure it's not made of nylon or some other synthetic compound that might melt. I use plain old white cotton string.

Pretty much any cotton or linen string/twine should work (check the gadgets aisle in the grocery store for small amounts.) Once it soaks up a little moisture, it just won't ignite.

This worked great and has lasted forever, still reasonably priced.

As the Three Stooges once said "Cotton"

Exactly!

Yea, obviously you wouldn't use "any old twine" like Jute twine for gardening.
I've asked the person behind the meat counter for a few feet before.
