A common way to pull this off is to clear out the entire level before you take on the Butcher. Prepare for the battle by casting a portal in a side room with a grated wall, then release the Butcher and let him chase you to your portal. Close the door behind him once he's in the room with you (you'll get hit a few times doing this, but it's unavoidable) and then escape through your portal. You can then walk back down through the dungeon and find the Butcher trapped in a room with your town portal, and a handy grated wall to shoot him through.
Another technique involves the use of telekinesis and fire walls:
# Stand a little to the side of The Butcher's door, so as to be out of his line of sight when the door opens
# Use telekinesis to open the door
# Cast some fire wall just inside the door
# Close the door with telekinesis
# Walk up the door
# Quickly open and shut the door by hand
The Butcher will charge forward, become stuck at the closed door and burn to death. This method is almost foolproof and could be considered rather un-sporting.
On Nightmare or Hell, a quick-fingered mage can open the door to the Butcher's shop, cast a firewall or two, then close it again once the Butcher is just on the other side. He'll stand motionless in the flames, roasting until well done.
