10 Best Grill Brushes in 2022 (Chef-Reviewed)

Pros:

• Multi-directional brushes for easier cleaning
• Textured handle for better grip
• Suitable for all grill types
• Three-layered brush

Cons:

• Parts of the brush can wear out quickly, according to reviewers

The triple rows of bristles that go in different directions mean that you can cover a large surface area and get into all the places that are difficult to reach. This brush is safe for all grill types, such as porcelain, infrared, and char-broil. The handle is quite rigid and is long enough to be gripped by both hands, which is helpful when removing sticky stuff clinging to the grate. 

Overall, reviews for the brush are very positive. There were a few complaints of the brush not performing as well after a few months of use, but most reviewers had only praise. Reviewers felt that this brush performed equally well on cold grills as well as warmed ones. They said that the density of the bristles made sure that each scrubbing motion gave the grate a thorough clean.  

Pros:

• Suitable for hot grills
• Includes scraper for easier cleaning
• Dense bristles
• Suitable for all grill types
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Reports that it can miss bits of the grate

The handle on this grill brush is designed to be flexible enough to withstand pressure for the times you need to use some extra force. At the same time, it is easy on the hands, allowing you to grip it firmly when you are attacking persistent bits of food and grease. The scraper can dislodge larger pieces of food and the brush itself can handle high temperatures.

Some buyers felt that bristles did not adequately reach down the sides of the rungs of the grates. Overall though, users appreciated the density of bristles and said they did not bend or get out of shape after cleaning. Several owners of cast iron grills gave this brush good reviews and said it could also be used to season the grill.

Pros:

• Made with gentle brass bristles
• Suitable for all grill types
• Cleans hot grills
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Wears out quickly, according to reviews

If you have a porcelain or ceramic grill, this brush is a good option. Its brass bristles won't scratch your grill but will act to clean any grease or food residue. It has a long 18-inch handle and the brush head is set at an angle to give you more leverage as you clean. The brush can also be used on hot grills.

According to several reviewers, this brush can wear out quickly and begin shedding bristles after only a few uses. However, most agree that it is very effective at cleaning and doesn't scratch or damage their grates. They liked the long handle and confirm that it can be used on hot grills to great effect. 

Pros:

• Three-sided design
• Wide brush head
• Side bristles can clean edges
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Handle is too short, according to some

This three-sided grill brush from Weber has a seven-inch wide head to make short work of cleaning your grill. The stainless steel brushes not only cover these seven inches, but they also go around the corner and up the sides, making it easier to clean edges and other hard-to-reach places. 

Some reviewers found that the handle was too short on this brush, especially when cleaning a hot grill. However, they also found that the shorter handle made it more durable and less prone to bending or breaking than many others. They liked that the brush was sturdy and cleaned their grill effectively.

Pros:

• Comfortable, ergonomic handle
• Scraper included for easy cleaning
• Handle has a loop for hanging
• Can reach all angles of the grill

Cons:

• Reports that the handle may bend under too much pressure

This brush from Cuisinart has an ergonomically designed handle made from silicone, which makes it comfortable to grip and lessens the strain on your hands. The brush head is made from stainless steel and has a scraper to remove larger debris. The comfortable handle makes it easier to angle the brush so that the stainless steel bristles can reach every part of the grill.

There are some comments from reviewers that the handle did not stand up to intense pressure and could bend or snap. However, this wasn't the experience of every reviewer and many praised this brush for how comfortable it was to hold and use. They say it cleaned their grill well and was easy to use.

Pros:

• Made from Kevlar, a durable, non-bristle material
• Can be used on hot grills
• Replaceable, dishwasher-safe sponge
• Suitable for all grill types
• Percentage of proceeds goes to charity

Cons:

• Brush hook must be purchased separately
• Doesn't reach between grates

This grill brush has a cleaning pad covered in ultra-tough Kevlar, a material commonly used in bulletproof vests and firefighter uniforms. It can withstand high temperatures, making this an ideal brush for cleaning hot grills. It has no bristles or coils so there is no chance of food contamination.

Some reviewers found this brush wasn't able to reach between the grates like bristles could, and was too smooth to remove all of the grease. However, many liked that it uses steam to clean the grill and can be used on hot grills. They praised the brush for not having bristles and being easy to use. They also confirmed it doesn't scratch the grates.

Pros:

• Red bristles for easy spotting of shedding
• Replaceable head
• Scraper included for easy cleaning
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Only for use on cool grills

This brush is perfect for use on porcelain, infrared, and cast iron grills that get damaged when cleaned with steel bristles or coils. The nylon bristles of this brush are designed to remove the residue that is coating the rungs of the grill plate while leaving it completely scratch-free. The bristles are colored red, so if any do shed they can be easily spotted.

Some reviewers made the mistake of using this brush on a hot grill and reported that the bristles melted. However, those that used it on a cold grill said they could satisfactorily clean their grills as the bristles were stiff enough to remove the residue of grease. They found that the curve of the brush gave a comfortable angle to hold the brush while scrubbing.

Pros:

• No bristles to come loose
• Handle has a stainless steel core
• Plastic covering on handle prevents heat
• Head has a scraper
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Needs more pressure than other brushes, according to reviews

If you are concerned with bristles finding their way into your food, this is an excellent choice. The wire coils of the brush provide the amount of friction needed to remove all the stubborn grease and food bits that are clinging to your grill. The coils hug the grate rung and slough off the residue, without scratching the grate. For larger bits, you can use the attached scraper.

Some reviewers felt that this brush needed more elbow grease than a regular bristle brush. However, users remarked on the satisfactory cleaning with or without water and the sturdiness of the handle. The scraper at the end was highly appreciated by the users to cut through the more obnoxious residue.

Pros:

• Extra-long handle
• Two interchangeable heads
• One head has a scraper
• Storage bag
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Reports that the handle is a little flimsy

This grilling brush set comes with two brush heads that screw into the handle. One of the two brush heads includes a scraper and they both have bristles made from stainless steel. The plastic handle is over 20 inches long, making it the longest on the list, and has a couple of textured finger grips to aid your grip.

A few reviewers reported that the handle on this brush wasn't sturdy enough and that it could be tricky to screw in the different brush heads. However, many other reviewers loved that this kit included two heads and a storage bag. They said that it was effective with several different grates and that the brush heads themselves were very sturdy.

Pros:

• Designed for hard to reach areas
• Also cleans below the grates
• Angled neck
• Handle has a loop for hanging

Cons:

• Too small to clean the full grate

If you're looking for a brush to get underneath your grate and into tight corners, this brush from Weber is a hood choice. The long, thin design of the brush coupled with the angle of the head means that you can get it into places some other brushes can't reach. It can be used to clean your grill as well as your flavorizer bars and burner tubes.

Reviewers who purchased this brush felt that it wasn't effective for cleaning the overall grill because of its smaller brush head. However, they report that it did a good job of getting into small spaces. They especially praised it for getting between the grates and say it is effective even when the grill is cold.
