Barbecue Brush Buyer’s Guide
Caring for your barbecue ensures its longevity and improves the taste of your food. If you don’t clean your grill before you cook next, your food will have a nasty, burnt taste from the accumulated grease from previous barbecue sessions.

Barbecue brushes are usually made of rigid steel bristles and a plastic-covered metal handle. Some brushes feature soft bristles and use an integrated scraper to remove the dirt and grime.
Steel is usually required to shift baked-on grease from the grill wires.
Design
Barbecue brushes are designed to clean narrow grills and those awkward, hard to reach areas. You can choose from a range of brush head designs, from angled designs, three-sided brushes and offset brushes.
Long-handled products are popular for their increased range and because they keep hands further away from splatters. They’re also safer to use on warm barbecues.
Ease of use
Some people find it easier to clean the barbecue straight after use, whilst it is still warm. You should check the manufacturer’s product description carefully, as not all brushes are designed to be used in this way.
Small brushes suit some cooks, whilst long handles can provide better pressure and leverage for a really tough cleaning job.
Angled heads and three-sided brushes are more efficient in providing an optimal clean in a shorter time.
Barbecue Brush FAQ
How to clean a BBQ brush?
Cleaning a dirty barbecue is one thing, but the brush itself will require some attention once the job is complete.
Fill a garden bucket or bowl half way with water, adding a few drops of washing up liquid. Drop the brush in and use either a second grill brush or a nail scrubbing brush to agitate the bristles and remove the residue. Soak it for several minutes. For really ingrained dirt, you may need to change the water and repeat the process.
