Stainless Steel Barbecue Grill Cleaning Brush

The grill is still warm, the burgers are gone, and the grates are caked with the good kind of mess.

You reach for the brush before the grease sets. The looped handle drops into your palm, the head lands flat on the bars, and a few firm passes lift the char that a paper towel never touches. By the time the coals cool, the grill is ready for next weekend.

The head carries stiff stainless steel bristles across more than one face, backed by a metal scraper edge and a row of grate combs that ride down each channel between the bars. The handle is molded plastic with a hanging loop, long enough to keep your knuckles clear of the heat.

Key Benefits

• Stainless steel bristles Stiff steel filaments dig into baked on grease and carbon that a soft brush skims over, on warm grates where residue lifts easiest.
• Metal scraper edge A flat steel scraper sits behind the bristles to shear off the thick crust the bristles loosen first.
• Grate combs A row of shaped steel teeth runs down the channels between the bars, reaching the sides a flat brush cannot.
• Looped handle A molded plastic loop gives a full fist grip and a hanging hole, so the brush stores on a hook by the grill.
• Indoor and out The same head works on a backyard barbecue, a cast iron grill pan or the grates over a stovetop.

Best for: home grillers who want char and grease gone before it sets, on outdoor barbecues and kitchen grill grates alike.

Why It Works

A flat wire brush only touches the top of each bar. This head wraps bristles, a scraper and a comb around the bars, so the burnt residue comes off the top, the sides and the gaps in a single stroke instead of three.

Quick Product Facts: stainless steel bristles; molded plastic handle with hanging loop; metal scraper edge; grate comb teeth; about 36.5 cm long overall, roughly 10.5 by 9 by 36.5 cm; around 290 to 380 grams.

How It Fits Your Routine

Work best while the grate is still warm from the cook, when a few passes clear the bars before you close the lid and the grease has no chance to harden overnight.

Off season it moves indoors to scrub oven racks, a grill pan or a stovetop trivet, then hangs back on its hook by the loop until the next barbecue.
