  • Wire grill brush alternative.

    So after reading about how many injuries that a wire grill brush can cause and subsequently seeing a few on the grate of my Char Broil big easy I have decided to not use them anymore. Aside from the foil and tongs I am using now what are you folks that have made the same choice using?

    22.5" Weber Gold
    22.5" Weber Silver

    Masterbuilt cold smoke attachment
    Char-Broil Big Easy 3 in 1
    Char-Broil COS with Ron Fischer mods.
    Dual Char-Broil BBQ Bistros
    Blackstone three burner flat top
    5" AMZNPS

      If you are cleaning grates...the Martin Grill Gadget. It is like the set of French Curves you used in drafting or engineering when drawing waveforms and curves...just find the slot that fits and give it a swipe. It is solid brass and won't leave bristles behind.

        typically wadded up foil. Wad loosely and scrub. Burn everything else when ya warm up for next cook.

          Or a wire disk attached to cordless drill. Cleans that shit off in a minute. Then after I light fire and warm the grates I wipe them down with tongs holding some paper towels drenched in vegetable oil. Ends up like new non-stick skillet.

            I just ordered a couple. Thanks Dana

            I was just putting a super power awesome clean on my Craycorts, and noticed a lot of Loose bristles flying around, and on the grates. Can't have that

                      For the heads up

                      Can't imagine how bad I would feel if somebody ingested a bristle that caused problems
