I wanted to post an alternative to the wicking materials they are using but I am too new a member to ECF and the powers that be will not allow it, whatever... I thought the thread was so awesomely educational. They did miss a big one though. Why did no one think of using cotton butcher twine instead of candle wick or gauze? Seems like an obvious wicking material to me. I do like to cook so I use it quite a bit and it can take massive amounts of heat without burning and it is 100% natural cotton no bleaching, dyes, or anything other than cotton for that matter. Also it looks like the perfect diameter and if it's not it's only twisted so it's easy to add strands or remove them. $5.54 for 184 feet: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Butchers-Twine-185-feet/dp/B000I1WNV0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343885999&sr=8-1&keywords=cotton+butcher%27s+twine
I imagine something like this would work.

Rated as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
Librett Cotton Butcher’s Twine - $8.29 (2 cents per foot)
> This ball of 100 percent cotton twine tied and held foods without burning, fraying, splitting, or breaking. It made neat, even ties around braciole and whole chicken and stayed in place without slipping. Although any cotton twine might perform as well, this brand releases string from the center of the ball, letting us pay it out with no danger of it rolling off the counter.

Rated as RECOMMENDED:
French Linen Butcher’s Twine - $9.99 (3 cents per foot)
> This compact ball of linen twine comes in a clear plastic container with an opening for the string and a small blade for portioning lengths, but we still needed our kitchen shears to snip off ends after tying. Thinner than cotton twine and slightly more expensive, linen proved just as strong and simple to use.

> Although they held up to searing in a hot pan and roasting in a 450-degree oven, we needed more than one set of four textured 13½-inch silicone ties to tie our braciole at 1-inch intervals. Spaced 2 inches apart, they let the rolled meat bulge in between and left ugly indentations. As for trussing a chicken, these loops pulled the legs to one side as we tightened the cinch, making the bird lean, which resulted in lopsided roasting.
