Weber 1647 18-Inch Grill Brush

The flexible brass bristles won't scrape the enamel off your grill bars and are great for softer accumulations. The scraper blade has a half circle "nip" out of it that fits the contour of the grill bars if you have a really ugly mess to remove (those slathered up ribs you laid on there before the vollyball game). The longer handle on this model lets you keep the hair on your fingers if the fire is still going.

The leather loop allows you to hang it on the grill or the arm of your lawn chair so it stays within reach. You may have to fend off the local cats and dogs if you hang it too close to the ground. Maybe they need to come out with a quick draw holster for it to solve that one! On second thought, a Prazi "Big Lug" on your tool belt might work. Yeah, Barbeque Sauce and seasoning in the pockets of the tool belt. This could turn into a Tool Crib thing!


Can't complain! it's a great grill brush!   April 19, 2005

Before, when I went to buy a new brush I would always get the cheapies; I thought they were all the same, except some came in plastic while others came in wood or aluminum. I was wrong. You do get what you pay for when buying a grill brush, so buy this one! The bristles are stiff enough to clean up all the grit, yet soft enough to not damage your grate. The brush feels nice and sturdy, it feels well built. Also, this brush has a handy scraper on the end which is extremely handy with the really tough crusties (on your GRILL silly).


An updated review.   August 21, 2002

I'm the one who wrote the "Good grill brush, but not the best price" review. Amazon took out the name of the store I referenced in my review, but I was very impressed that they posted it. In fact, they made it a spotlight review.

Fair is fair, so I have to now say that the price on this brush today ...is excellent. Coupled with how much I still like the brush after almost a summer's worth of heavy duty use, I'd give this brush 5 stars (up from the 4 I gave it last time due to the price issue). I can also add that the bristles hold up quite well after a lot of use, as does the little scraper. The little leather loop at on the handle broke, but I tied it back together and it's been hanging happily on my BBQ since then.

Hope this is helpful (again) and good luck with your purchase!


Show me a better grill brush and I'll buy it!   September 13, 2004

I read how people have weber brushes and think they should last more than a year... WOW...I wish mine lasted that long. I'll wear out 2 in a summer, but I use the heck out of them! I've tried those plastic ones that melt and the cheap knockoffs with half the bristles made of steel and worn them out in 2 cleanings.
Brass: is hard enough to clean, but won't damage your grill...
Wood: handle is long and doesn't melt or get hot to quick...
Scraper: scrapes all my webers just fine.
Pick up a generic brush in one hand and a Weber brush in the other hand and follow your heart.
Your brush should be tough, but also wear out before your grill does. Look at it this way. If you used your weber brush to clean your dishes you wouldn't be going through so many sponges..think about it


A brilliant tool and a tip how to clean it   June 2, 2005

This brush is brilliant. It doesn't ruin your grate like other steel brushes does (this one is not made of steel/iron). So it'll save you the frustration of buying a new grate because the other rusts.

Heres a tip on how to clean it. Mix a bowl of warm water with wash machine soap or a tab. Leave the head of the brush in the water overnight and behold - almost as good as new. Over time the wood/handle near the head will lose its protection, but rather that than an ugly brush :-)
