Looking for a stainless steel grate brush

[G Schafer]

Gerry,
Did you make that from a spatula? If not, where did you get it?

I made it from an old spatula I had laying around.

Thanks Larry, that's a good looking brush but the problem with the plastic is it melts upon contact with 450 degree grates. I bought a plastic handle brush with the proper angle head and it left black 'skid marks' here and there on the grates and the inside of the grill. Maybe I'm being too aggressive with it, too much pressure. But hey, if you say those brass bristles do the job I'll give the Libman a try - and maybe a little less pressure will eliminate those skid marks.

You're not supposed to put the plastic in contact. Don't blame the material for not knowing how to use it correctly Never have had ANY issues with Libman. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why you need to clean the grates with the plastic in the first place

Yeah, the plastic contacting the heated grill grate was incidental to my tilting the brush a little too far left or right.

I do know this - after reading about the potential for ingesting a bristle I'm planning on a very thorough inspection of everything after each cleaning.

Bottom line you will not find a better brush. I have had brushes from many others (Weber high priced ones as well) and nothing holds a candle to the Libman (or Libyan)
