Charcoal Companion Single Head Scrubber Grill Brush with Refill, long handle

After reading several news stories about the bristles from traditional wire brushes causing emergency room visits, we decided to try this design.

The Good

+ There are no wire bristles to end up lodged in your intestines necessitating a trip to the emergency room.

The Bad

+ The scrubbing pad is covered by the attachment mechanism. You lose most of the center of the pad, leaving only the outer edge to actually clean your grill.

+ The scrubbing pad does not work very well. The grill stayed dirty after repeated scrubbing. The top service of the grate was clean-ish, but the sides could not be reached by the pad.

Conclusion

We went back to a traditional wire brush. We scrub with that, then use long tongs to wipe the grate down with a damp paper towel. It adds an extra step, but it takes less time than a trip to the emergency room.
