I find this brush great for a complete thorough cleaning of my grill after barbequing. I hate to say this but after a barbecue party, I am tired and I hate to clean the grill. I usually give the grill a semi-clean job because it takes so much effort to clean the grates when I am tired, and on my next barbeque, thats when I give it a good cleaning before using because I have more energy then. But after my brush fell apart on my last barbecue, I bought this new one to replace it and had the opportunity to use it just this 4th of July. When I fired up the grill to clean the grates before use, like I always do, I find the brush easily scraped off all previous food particles from the grates. After the party, I was tired and expected to just brush off some of the food particles but everything came off so easily. I proceeded to clean the entire grill. The twisted steel wires corners of the brush was great in scraping the corner areas of the grates. When I saw how easy all the food particles were coming off, I was encouraged to keep going until the whole grill was cleaned. Im extremely pleased with how my grill looked after cleaning. Now I know how important a good grill brush is to the ease of cleaning the grill.
