BBQ safety

Interesting report here http://bc.ctvnews.ca/brushing-up-on-barbecue-cleaning-safety-1.3053352

 

i just checked my old brushes and they were quite crushed with little wires in all directions.  They are in the bin.

Does anyone know what else to use?

CI had a procedure for burning off food residue on grills.  Put a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil on the grill and let is rip on high until you have ashes on the grill.  This works well.  Then I suppose instead of the brush one could use an oiled paper towel.

Crumpled aluminum foil is a good scrubber.

The Kamado grill gets a good manual scrub and fits neatly in the dishwasher cutlery tray. Advantages of a Joe Jr!

I get mine super hot then wipe over with a wet towel. Re season with some veg oil.

Get it hot, burn off last residue and use a wad of crumpled old newspaper. Be very wary off wetting the newspaper as it will generate steam and you do not want steam burns!

You can also use half an onion and then rub with a small chunk of beef fat to season.

This is the brush I've used since I saw my first patient with a brush wire in the soft tissues of their neck.

For the last ten years or so, I've been using a refillable grill brush (like this one -- here are the refills).  Here in SoCal, the Land of Year-Round Grillin', I go through about two pads per year.  And to attack the really baked-on junk, I use a pumice stone from the dollar store.

 

Works for me...
