ok - ive owned a brush hawg for years.
greay solid brush. long handle. sturdy feel. great performance.

i love that you can swap and replace the brush head on it.

lowes in my area sells for $9. replacement heads are like $2.
at the time im writing this, amazon is selling this for $16??

trust me - ull get good quality anywhere u ll buy it.

This is some Brush ! The Handle is sturdy, strong, and practically unbreakable. The Hanging Hook could hold an elephant ! And the best part is when the bristles fall out, you can buy a Replacement Wire Brush Pad that snaps right in. This is more than a Brush - It's an investment.

I'm very sorry to say that this brush just ruined a great family meal. We brushed down the grill grates ahead of grilling, threw on a couple of beautiful flank steaks and a bunch of veggies, only to realize later during the meal that the brush had essentially disintegrated leaving hundreds of tiny metal wires all over the grates and all over our food. We found out by someone spitting one out onto their plate and at this point we're just hoping that none are lodged in our digestive systems. Needless to say, we didn't finish our meals.

I strongly suggest everyone not purchase this brush! It's a bad product, that could really cause damage to your health!

The initial price of this brush is pretty high compared to other brushes but it's well worth the investment. Lowe's carries a two pack of replacement brush heads for around $4, so just $2 per refill. You are not going to find a grill brush of similar quality for $2. There are a few other heads at Lowe's that will fit into the brush. There is a steel mesh head and a scrubbing sponge head.

I can't say that this brush works any better or worse than other brushes I've used. The real draw of this particular brush for me was the long term cost savings and the fact that it seemed wasteful to me having to discard an entire grill brush just because the head was worn out.

It's too bad that Amazon doesn't yet carry the replacement heads. Hopefully they will carry them sooner rather than later.

While the concept of a replaceable brush is great, I must concur with the other reviews. After a bit of use, the metal bristles start to fall out onto the grate you are cleaning. When you put food on the grill, the metal bristles stick to the meat you are cooking and it really ruins a meal. One of my family bit into one and it was not a good experience.

I thought that a grill brush with replaceable heads was a brilliant idea. Well....I have come to find out that due to the poor quality of the brush heads they need to be replaceable because the metal bristles fall off during use and remain on the grill grates and can get on your food if you are not careful. I will be going back to a Weber brand brush. Please don't waste your money and risk the chance of eating metal bristles with this terrible product; Char-Broil should be ashamed to offer this product!!

This is truely a great grill brush. It's a little pricy but with the ability to change out the replacable stainless steel head it becomes a one time purchase that will last. I highly recommend this product especially for stainless steel grills.

I haven't had a lot of grill brushes over the years. Mainly, because I've had this one, and it's worked without complaint for many of those years. All products should be this well-made and reliable. I haven't even replaced the bristles in mine yet. Great, sturdy, ergonomic handle, nice hook, and great bristles.

BTW, I always clean my grill _after_ pre-heating and _before_ cooking. That's when it's easiest.

This review is only on price. I am surprised that both the local Home Depot and Lowes can price this at 40% lower Amazon in April 2011. This matches the comment by the reviewer in August 2010.

This tool is well designed over all and is sturdy. However, the replaceable brush head tends to pop out of the holder/handle easily.

I have found using steel wool held with a pair of pliers works equally well and is much cheaper!
