Now stainless bristles instead of brass Jun 18, 2009
By J. James
I cut it to 4 stars simply because it wasn't as I expected. Expected brass and not stainless bristles. It seems that last year Weber changed this to stainless bristles. I called Weber and they told me that but it took a long time on hold and even then they didn't seem too sure. Weber also recommended it not be used on porcelain grates as they didn't trust it. The product description should be changed and the photo to show silver (stainless) bristles. For those that need brass, look elsewhere.

 Not as advertised Jun 23, 2009
By A Reviewer
This grill brush is advertised as having brass bristles, but it does not. They are steel and will rust. It's probably more trouble for me to return in than it's worth.

A good grill cleaning tool Aug 12, 2009

Weber 6422 18-Inch Grill Brush and Scraper
Our 10-year old Weber 6422 grill brush wore out and we replaced it with the same model. The current model has steel bristles, while the older model had brass bristles. Weber probably switched to steel to reduce their manufacturing costs (brass is more expensive), instead of staying with brass and simply raising the price to cover their costs.
In any case, steel should last longer than brass bristles. Brass is better on softer materials that could scratch, but for stainless steel (or steel) grill racks, steel bristles are better since they are stronger and stiffer than brass. The bristles do not appear to be stainless steel as asserted by other reviewers, since they are strongly attracted to magnets. Weber's web site doesn't claim the bristles are stainless.
The handle should be bent upward more, so you'd be less likely to bang your hand when brushing a grill rack that's still in the barbeque grill.
The 1/4" half-round scraper is the right size for Weber steel grill wire racks. The bristles are numerous, stiff, and plentiful, so they are effective in cleaning the top third or so of the grill rack wires. Competing brushes with fewer bristles or with the bristle bundles further apart can slip down between the grill wires, so they don't work as well.
This tool wouldn't be a good choice for scratch-prone surfaces. However, for the old-style BBQ grills (that use charcoal for fuel), this tool works well and is a good value.

 Great Brush Dec 16, 2008
By scutchen
Every time I wear one of these brushes out, I buy another one just like it. It really seems to clean my grill well, with bristles that don't rust and are the right stiffness. And I like the long wooden handle.

Nice brush, especially for the price Oct 07, 2010
By aglowucannotsee

Brush seems well made and does the job efficiently. I was initially looking for one with brass bristles as I was under the impression this was some kind of advantage based on reading reviews of others. Seems like there are little to no brass brushes available any more so I got this one. I honestly can't imagine what a brass brush would be doing that this one does not although possible there is some advantage that will be made evident over time, who knows. Either way, for $7 I'm very happy.
