Set in an attractive hardwood handle, the tool features a rectangle of densely packed brass bristles on one side and a notched scraper on the end. Longwearing and hardworking, the brush won't rust or leave rusty deposits behind that would spoil food. A rawhide hanging strap is included to easily stow the brush right near the action. For smaller grills, try the matching 12-inch brush and scraper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now stainless bristles instead of brass, June 18, 2009

I cut it to 4 stars simply because it wasn't as I expected. Expected brass and not stainless bristles. It seems that last year Weber changed this to stainless bristles. I called Weber and they told me that but it took a long time on hold and even then they didn't seem too sure. Weber also recommended it not be used on porcelain grates as they didn't trust it. The product description should be changed and the photo to show silver (stainless) bristles. For those that need brass, look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as advertised, June 23, 2009

This grill brush is advertised as having brass bristles, but it does not. They are steel and will rust. It's probably more trouble for me to return in than it's worth.

Weber 6422 18-Inch Grill Brush and Scraper

Our 10-year old Weber 6422 grill brush wore out and we replaced it with the same model. The current model has steel bristles, while the older model had brass bristles. Weber probably switched to steel to reduce their manufacturing costs (brass is more expensive), instead of staying with brass and simply raising the price to cover their costs.

In any case, steel should last longer than brass bristles. Brass is better on softer materials that could scratch, but for stainless steel (or steel) grill racks, steel bristles are better since they are stronger and stiffer than brass. The bristles do not appear to be stainless steel as asserted by other reviewers, since they are strongly attracted to magnets. Weber's web site doesn't claim the bristles are stainless.

The handle should be bent upward more, so you'd be less likely to bang your hand when brushing a grill rack that's still in the barbeque grill.

The 1/4" half-round scraper is the right size for Weber steel grill wire racks. The bristles are numerous, stiff, and plentiful, so they are effective in cleaning the top third or so of the grill rack wires. Competing brushes with fewer bristles or with the bristle bundles further apart can slip down between the grill wires, so they don't work as well.

This tool wouldn't be a good choice for scratch-prone surfaces. However, for the old-style BBQ grills (that use charcoal for fuel), this tool works well and is a good value.
