This SpitJack trussing needle is specifically suited to the demands of whole-animal cooking. After a pig, lamb, goat, or turkey is placed on the spit, the needle can be used to stitch the belly flaps closed and help keep the roast properly secured for cooking.
It can also be used when you need to tie down ears or secure feet, giving you one practical tool for several important preparation steps.
Extra-Sharp Flattened Tip for Easier HandlingThe needle features an extra-sharp, flattened tip designed to make piercing and maneuvering easier during trussing. Its 7-inch length provides useful reach when working with larger pieces of meat and whole animals.
Food-Grade Stainless Steel ConstructionThe needle is made from food-grade stainless steel, giving it a durable construction suited to repeated use in meat preparation and whole-animal roasting.
An extra-wide eye is designed to accommodate heavy twine or wire, which is especially useful when ordinary kitchen trussing tools are not substantial enough for the job.
Pro Tips- Use the needle to stitch belly flaps closed after the animal has been placed on the spit.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
