Grill Wizard BBQ Brush

This is a cheap knock off of the Grill Wizard that was approved by America's Test Kitchen. Get the original at http://www.grillwizard.com/

I ordered mine direct and it is by far the BEST grill cleaning product I have ever used!!

This is the best grill brush HANDS DOWN! Let your grill heat up about 5 minutes or so, then scrub...This brush cleans better than any other brush on the market!

dont scrub side to side. it will fall apart.

but other than that....never had a better brush. very pleased!!

I found out that the GrillWizzard sold on Amazon is not the one tested by America's Test Kitchen. Check out grillwizard dot com for the real version. No free shipping and a few dollars more, but lasts forever.

This one gets hot and the scrub brushes fell apart after a few uses. I know that they are replaceable... but I expected them to last longer.

Long enough to clean the grill. Steel pad works quite well and is replaceable. Had one for a year or two. Lost it and I bought another.

This is the best scrubber I've used for my grills. I have a Weber Ranch Kettle, Weber Genesis Silver C, and a Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker (yes, I have a weber addiction...I'm getting help). This scrubber does a good job of keeping all the grates clean. The only drawback is that the pad does a good job of keeping the top of the grates clean, but does not reach between the bars of the grate well. So, if you have a lot of stuck-on meat, you'll have to do a high-heat burn off to get them really clean.

This tool is probably the smartest grilling accessory I've seen in a while. You can get replacement pads at most dollar stores, which makes this tool even nicer. The Grill Wizard runs circles around my old bristle brush!

Tip: Make sure your cooking grid is super-hot before you brush it off. I do this each time I grill and most of the crud turns to char and falls right off. This'll save you from having to use a narrower brush to get between the cooking grid's bars. Works like a charm and the grid is so hot that food won't stick to it!

This brush is absolutely great, as other reviewers have explained. I found out that the unravelling of the pad is not due to the quality of the brush, but to possums and raccoons that come at night and chew on the brush dangling by the side of the grill. I suspected that was the case when I noticed my pads were unravelling mysteriously between uses, not during uses.

This is basically a steel scouring pad with a handle.

It is excellent for cleaning the tops of the grate, which is where traditional brass bristle brushes fall short (the bristles tend to flatten out and eventually ruin the brush). I recommend giving your grill a good once-over after you are finished grilling, but before the grill cools off. This will loosen any oil-based debris and make it easier to scrub off.

For the nooks and crannies in between the grates, however, you'll want to hang onto your brass brush. I use them both together and they complement each other well.

This works SOOOOO well that I don't know why no one else has thought of it. I will never use a bristle brush again!

I use my grill fairly often and go through wire brushes at a pretty fast pace. The bristles on a typical wire brush always seem to wear down and/or get filled with grease/soot. And, it's probably my technique, but the grill doesn't end up looking spotless- just fairly clean.

The grill wizard did the job quickly and very well.

The grill wizard is very easy to set up. You are given a metal scouring pad that you insert into two metal rods on one end of the rubber handle. The rods are then squeezed into their slots and you are left with about a 2-3 foot handle with the scouring pad on one end.

Pretty simple, no? In this case, simple works wonders. The scouring pad cut through the grime and grease on my large grease fairly easily. I used a cleaner spray, but I don't know if this was necessary.

With one pad, I was able to clean three grates front and back on my grill and two grates from my smoker in approximately ten to fifteen minutes. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but the end product was worth it- the grates look completely free of grime.

Towards the end, the pad became filled with grime and I turned it over to the other side and it continued working well. I probably could have rinsed it out as well.

I would definitely recommend this grill wizard to anyone- but you might be able to save money on the refills by buying the scouring pads separately- they seem to be a standard size.

the 5 star reviews. I bought this because of the 5 star reviews and I ordered extra cleaning pads at the same time. I didn't find that it cleans any better. The shipping costs are expensive and there is no tracking. I had to pick this item up at the post office.

I bought my grill used and it is cleaner than I've seen it since. This grill cleaner works better than anything I've tried. The grate is shiny and clean with minimal effort. I am going through the scrubbers faster than I expected, but it seems to have slowed down now that I've gotten off all the caked on crud that my wire brushes were leaving behind. And you can flip the scubbers over to use both sides. I've used it on a cold and hot grill and it was excellent on both. I would buy this again no question. Consumer Reports was right when they gave this an excellent rating.

This thing just works, and it's simple. My Weber 18 1/2-Inch Charcoal Grill maintains a nice clean grate, and food doesn't stick.

Make sure the grate is fully hot before you use the brush. Give a reasonable amount of pressure down on it as you rub - and swipe away. It usually works in a couple of swipes back and forth.

I keep an old dish towel at hand, which I've rolled up tightly into a log and tied with (cotton!!!) Butchers String somewhat like tying a roast. I keep that a bit wet with vegetable oil. Then, after I get done with the Grill Wizard, I just grab the towel with grill tongs and rub down the grate, and grill away. (If one is fussy I suppose one could recreate that log with a clean towel each time -- I just toss the thing into a big zipper bag and keep it in my grill-stuff box, figuring that 800 degree heat will kill pretty much anything. :-) Your mileage may vary.)

My experience with this brush is different than some users, apparently. The scrub pad on my Grill Wizard unravelled quickly and didn't do that great a job on its first or subsequent uses, either. And when it started unravelling, which was on the second or third use, it started leaving bits of the scrub pad on the grill. I would not buy this again or recommend it, and I'm sorry that I bought some extra scrub pads with the initial purchase to save on the shipping. The combination of Weber's "regular" brass brush and Weber's 21" T-brush works much better.

I use T-Brush and this grill pad cleaner to get a really sparkling grill before and after grilling. I have found that this scouring pad really makes the flat surface of a grill grate sparkle like nothing else. I found the first time I used it that the stainless steel shine came out on grill grates which were black from repeatedly using a flat brass bristle brush. The combination of the two grill cleaners really works on getting both the flat surface of the grill and in between the grates really clean.

In retrospect, I guess, what you are really buying is just a handle to hold a scrubbing pad. Not exactly rocket science. But the handle is long and sturdy, and it allows you to clean your grill while it is still hot, which is the best time to remove stubborn grit.

If you want to use this device by itself, for the grates on a gas grill, it wont do the job. It only hits the flat surface well. Buy this to supplement the brass bristle grill brush you already have so that you can get the grill sparkling. Then you'll be pleased with the results. It shouldn't be that hard to have a shiny grill, and this kind of brush makes it possible.

We bought the Weber brush first and it fell apart in a short period of time. We replaced it with the Grill Wizard based upon reviews and have been very happy with our purchase. It cleans well and has held up well. Our product has a wood handle so I don't know if the model has changed.

We also bought this b/c Cooks Illustrated recommended it. We were very disappointed. The scrubber comes apart when the grill is cleaned, leaving tinsel-like bits over the grill that have to be picked off before grilling again, or else it gets in your food. Also, the vendor charged quite a lot for shipping, and our order was mis-routed.

The Grill Wizard grill cleaning brush does the job of cleaning the grill better than any brush I've ever used. Very little muscle is required to clean the grill, especially if you clean after you cook and when the grill is still warm.

America's Test Kitchen rated it number one, so I decided to try one for myself. I have owned grill brushes from Home Depot, online catalog sellers, etceteras. The bristles, regardless of material, on these brushes end up shedding over time, or if not they crush down and become nearly worthless.

The Grill Wizard eliminates these problems by using a replaceable pad. The pad works great. I'm still on my first pad and have used it probably 10 times or more already. It's a good product and I highly recommend it.

Traditional grill brushes quickly clog with grill funk and the wires bend, thus rendering them useless in a short time. This has a pad that fits any grill, and they can be removed and washed (or replaced). Rated number one grill brush according to America's Test Kitchen.
