Brushes and Scrubbers

A good grill grate brush will have a long, sturdy handle, a stiff, wide wire brush head, and a scraper at the end for dislodging burnt-on pieces of debris (a long handle is essential for working on a hot grill). A V-shaped wire brush is useful for scrubbing the individual bars of a particularly dirty grate. A grill scrubber should have a tough fiber pad for cleaning grates and fireboxes.
