The grill brush that you need depends a lot on your personal strength. I have really strong friends with tough skin and they take a damp dish rag and poof their grill is clean. I try that and scream, "Ouch" and still have a mess!

So you can go with a manual grill brush, a motorized grill brush or a steam grill brush. And believe me there's a large range in strength that's needed and price.

The Grate Chef 501-1100 Steaming Grill Brush is my personal favorite. It's light and it uses steam and lemon juice to get the job done. And cost - it's under $20. Simply fill it with tap water and 2 tsp. of lemon juice and release it as needed. The heat from the grill turns it into steam. And don't forget the lemon. You wouldn't think that it would matter that much but it does! I like the fact that it doesn't need any chemicals. The handle is a good size, not too small for Leo and small enough that my small hands can handle it. And it has a convenient loop at the end for hanging. It's the little details that make something easy to use. It hangs right on the side of the grill. So it's always there. No hunting around.

The Charcoal Companion CC4055 Mega Monster Grill Cleaning Brush is huge! The cleaning space measures 8 inches by 2.5 inches so you can largest of barbecue grills in no time. And there's two kinds of handles. The long hand is about 19 inches long so sissies like me can use it and not burn fingers and hands. For the more hearty barbecuers there's the short handle so you can really get some body language into your cleaning. You get to replaceable brush heads with a scraper and stainless steel bristles. And a hook for convenience.

The Grill Daddy GD12952S Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush, is another barbecue cleaning brush that uses steam to get your bbq grill really clean. The stainless steel bristles are really strong and the two-sided brush head is removable and dishwasher safe - So you can clean it easily. Just fill the handle with tap water and all of the baked on food and grease will clean up. It's long handles will protect your hands and arms from spatters.

Don't let the "tough" appearance of the Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush scare you. It's safe to use it on steel, iron, and porcelain grill grates. It also has a loop at the end for easy storage with all of your other barbecue accessories during the grilling season.

It has tought stainless steel bristles and a replacement to double the life of the product. A hanging hook for easy storage. The price point is good at under $10. There's no batteries to replace and no moving parts to break.

If you really need to use some elbow grease to get rid of a mess on your grill the Outset QB47 Rosewood Oversized Grill Brush is designed so you can really do that. The rosewood handle makes this a particularly beautiful grilling tool. That beauty is combined with stainless steel to clean every barbecue grill you can find. The only drawback for me is the short handle, so I could get splattered and burn my hands or arms. But a sturdier and more robust person would do just fine!

The Weber 6448 Style Heavy-Duty Grill Brush is ergonomically designed to make cleaning your barbeque grill a snap. It comes with two heads that wil prolong the grill brush life.
