The ends of my one touch blades sit a good 1/2in from the bowl of my performer. I guess I am going to have to buy some new ones or bend them back. is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
How many years have you used them? It might be time to change them out. It’s a pretty easy project, 20 minutes.
Anyone use a tool similar to this to clean out a Kettle or WSM , both the bowl and the lid ? I don't know how sharp an edge this tool has, but a curved scraper would work much better . I'm thinkin bout ordering this one or something similar.

I use a plastic putty knife that I think is 2.5" wide and--while I'm complacent about other activities--for some reason I do a quick scrape of my bowls after every use. This could be due to the fact that I roll them into our unfinished basement after use. My Kettles don't look squeaky clean (by no means) but I have just a very thin layer of buildup at any given time. For some reason, my lids don't flake and, so, I never touch them. I'm no mechanical theory expert but on the curved blade linked above wouldn't that result in only a portion of it coming in contact with the bowl at any given time?
I don't have any crud build up because I grill at a high temp. I also let the coals burn out with the lid off every now and then so that helps keep the bowl clean.
