Thick bristles make this tool wear resistant. Plus, the ergonomic handle gives you control and leverage for optimum cleaning.

3. The Alpha Grillers Grill Brush is Amazon’s third best selling grill brush. They denote it as the best cleaner for pit barbecues.  It made every list for best grill brushes out there right now.

Purchasers say it is a “powerful brush,” “highly recommended,” and “the best yet.”  Alongside this, some have also said, “I bought this brush with no real expectations. My Weber grill is 9-10 years old and hasn’t been treated very well other than the occasional quick scrub with some balled up tinfoil. But I did my best to put it to good use and was pleasantly surprised. Overall it performed well and I was awarded with fresh metal grids for future grilling”.


4. The Best BBQ Grill Brush also attained Amazon Choice status. The Best brand tool measures 17.9 X 5.9 X 2.2 inches and is another lightweight at 11.2 ounces.

It is very superior to those bbg brushes that have wires imbedded in wood or plastic. We have found those wires sitting loose on the grill and even once in the food. The construction of this brush makes it much more safe to use. He loves the amount of service it covers and we plan to order one for our son”.


5. The Kona Safe/Clean Grill Brush is Amazon’s Choice for Non-Bristle Brushes. Kona is a renowned name in grill brushes. Their 360 Clean model tops many brush lists.
