I'm just curious. In the beginning I just used a simple piece of aluminum foil balled up loosely or a wire brush. Then I found the grill buster brush a bahemouth of brushes and used this exclusively to clean.
I ask and share because I no longer use the wire brush type grill cleaner. Maybe to share a little of my paranoia, I was watching one of the cable channels, to be honest I was surfing, like a true man because I know what I'm doing I think I may have gotten up to get something, probably some junk for my pie hole. When I returned there was a true story of a young man who had suddenly gotten very ill and had to be rushed to the hospital and had to stay there were he progressively got worse and then died, the doctors had no idea what he died from which kind of intreeged my curiousity. Upon the autopsy the found a tiny piece, I this piece was crazy small of a wire, from the wire brush used to clean the grill. It had become trapped in his intestine and actually punctured a small hole and was stuck there. His father had admitted that he used a wire brush to clean their gas grill the previous weekend during a cook out. The Dr confirmed it was a fragmented piece of wire from the grill brush.
Well, needless to say (along with the encouragement of my wife), I went out and threw the bahemouth away and will never used a brush again. I found Weber has a scouring pad with a handle and replacement pads, of course I bought one, me being a Weber kiss @$$ I also had a grill stone that has a handle which you can get replacement stones for. I also went back to old scholl and balled up a piece of aluminum foil. I use the foil first, then hit it with the stone and then the scouring pad.
I had had no idea this was possible to happen, as I'm sure neither did they, or any of you. I share this with my friends here not to scare you, nor do I get any money from Reynolds or the stone people or my beloved Weber. I share this because I care about my friends here.
It appears to me that is, that old school is the best school. Be safe my friends. I will look for your comments and how you clean yours. Have a great day!
