The Meat Swadl: It’s a thermal powerhouse

The Meat Swadl has been a game-changing piece of gear that I didn’t know that I even needed. This slice of genius has become an almost daily companion, and judging by its ongoing track record, it’s also one of the secret weapons behind a few Grand Champion wins in the barbecue competition scene!

The Meat Swadl is basically a well insulated sleeping bag to keep meat nice and toasty whilst resting.

In my opinion, the old chillibin-and-towel setup for resting meat is mostly now obsolete. The Meat Swadl handles the process with effortless style, ensuring every brisket or pork butt gets the rest it deserves, holds temperatures for longer and in a more stable environment. Think of it as a snugly well insulated sleeping bag for meat….but wait there is more!

The Meat Swadl is perfectly sized for most standard oven trays but also cinches up to fit competition hand-in-boxes, guaranteeing your barbecue is at “judge-perfect-temp” when it hits the table!

The Meat Swadl is adjustable to suit a variety of options including barbecue competition hand-in boxes….IYKYK!

But don’t be fooled thou, this is a multi-talented bit of kit. On the golf course, on the boat, or at the beach, this thermal powerhouse also keeps refreshments cold for hours. It’s a bit of a surreal happy thought, that one minute it is gently swaddling a perfectly smoked brisket, and the next, keeping cold ones nice and frosty. I suggest this is an excellent case for owning multiple Swadles (or is that Swadi?) – The Meat Swadl and The Drinks Swadl!

It also takes the stress out of pot-luck dinners for instance. From your barbecue to their table, this thing makes sure your mac ‘n’ cheese, pizza, smoked wings or the family sized smoked brisket ‘n’ cheese pie arrives perfectly hot and ready to be devoured.

Crafted from a durable, waterproof polyester shell with a polar fleece lining and silk-cotton stuffing, it’s a breeze to clean. The zippers and velcro keeping it all together are staunch-as, so as to keep heat leakages to a minimum.

My only complaint – and it’s more for the “wish list”, is that, for it to be just a smidge larger to fit the gastronorm food pans that we use commercially daily at The Barbecue Hut – Mangawhai.

Ample in dimensions for most home and competition applications, but could be just a little more roomy for commercial kitchen usage.

All in all, this is a very cool bit of kit. I didn’t know I needed it, but now I can’t imagine life without it. You can find this essential accessory at Barbecue BOI, and trust me, your next pot-luck, barbecue competition, or beach day will be a whole lot better for it. Also the Meat Swadl is possibly the best pressie for the barbecue enthusiast that already has everything.
