Grillart Grill Brush and Scraper Review

With grilling season upon us, it’s time for juicy short ribs, tender chicken, and flavorful kebabs. All that deliciousness also comes with the task of making sure your grill stays nice and clean after every use, whether you cook with gas, charcoal, or pellets. For quick, daily cleaning that’s still thorough, grill brushes are a must for keeping your grates gunk-free no matter how many burgers you’re slinging for the cookout. Our top pick for this important task is the Grillart grill brush, which out-scraped the competition. 

During our tests, the Grillart grill brush left grates clean  with minimal effort. It was the best at cleaning off burnt-on barbecue sauce and burger residue, besting eight other brushes.

Grillart Grill Brush and Scraper

Why It Won Our Review

Thanks to its three rows of densely packed, vertical bristles that splay out in all directions, the Grillart grill brush is able to thoroughly wrap around and clean individual grates with every swipe. We especially liked the brush’s scraper, which had divots in the corners to reach every last nook and cranny. While it wasn’t the fastest brush due to its narrow profile, it was the most thorough, which is what really matters. 

For those who don’t like the idea of wire bristles breaking off and falling onto your grill grates, we made sure to test the brush’s durability by scraping it against a concrete sidewalk for a minute. All of its bristles were intact—none even bent! We were also pleasantly surprised by how comfortable it was to hold, as its slightly angled handle gave us good leverage when pushing and pulling the brush along the grill grates.
