Wouldn't it make more sense not to buy a grill scrubber in the first place? Sounds like a product in search of a problem.
Had loads of BBQs over the years and not once seen something stuck to the grill in such a way that it needs to be scrubbed off.
Gross. Clean your grill, bro.
I personally use a wooden one.
Fire cleans all, the few bits that don't burn off don't require scrubbing, a gentle touch with absolutely anything would work. Like a stick.
Enjoy your stomach cancer.
Is there any evidence to support that it makes any difference? Have heard cooking food over a fire can in general, not aware of it depending on how you cleaned the grill half an hour before cooking on it.
Don't know about evidence, but the residue on a dirty grill is deposited smoke and soot and charred/carbonized food remnants.
It's like you put an air filter over a fire that filters out the carcinogens, and then started licking the carcinogen-filled side of the air filter.
If you are that concerned about it, you probably shouldn't be using a BBQ at all.
Valid point IMO. Not buying something is the better choice very often!
I've never used nor know of anybody that scrubs a grill.. must be some tradition across the pond.
I just toss the grill into the fire while adding more wood on top. Get it red hot, done.
Meanwhile the ladies have cleaned and seasoned the chicken.
Add a fridge full of Estrella Galicia, and it's a good evening.
Sure, why waste money on toilet paper?
People with a bidet already know.
