Given the preponderance comments stating that people buy cheap brushes and toss them when they're done, I think toolmonger could use an injection of reduce, reuse and recycle mentality. Middle-aged men have been targeted as the most difficult demographic to turn onto sustainability. Everyday is Earth Day. I like the idea of minimizing the amount of waste going to the landfill.

It works well, but I wouldn't say it's any different than any of the other grill brushes I've used. I have one on the Brush Hawg’s.

Most brushes just don't last. I've been known to throw away other peoples cheap brushes when I'm cooking at there house. It really is worth it to get a better brush than the 3 dollar units at the grocery store. They don't last and they don't clean well.

I bought (brass bristle) one with replacable pads and a long handle on it, similar to the one above and it works great. In fact, it appears to have a lower profile (the scraper doesn't stick up on it) than the one above. Unfortunately, I can't give you the name of it. I checked the handle, and the replacement pads I've already purchased (but have taken out of the packaging already) and all it says is 'Made In China'. Bugger. I'd love to tell you which one I have. I might send a photo of it up and see if someone else can identify it. I think I got it at Ace Hardware, but I can't recall for certain.

I can just throw it out and get another. If I recall correctly, I paid about $4 for my wood handled grill brush at the local big-box hardware store. I can just throw it out and get another.

Believe me when I say a hamburger with bits of porcelain, though crunchy, does not make a good meal. I got a Grill Wizard that worked pretty good:

They are either made from stainless or copper based - tend to have longer bristles -and always last longer than these crazy bbq ones that get caked up.
