GRILLART Bristle Free Grill Brush and Scraper, 18 inch
A sturdy, low cost bristle free brush for most grills; less suited to cast iron grooves.
The short version
- Owners of gas, charcoal or porcelain coated grills who want to avoid wire bristles
- Anyone who wants a brush and scraper in one tool
- You mainly need to deep clean cast iron grates with tight grooves
- You want a long handle or a brush that goes in the dishwasher
What owners like
- Removes stuck on char well on both wire smoker grates and wide porcelain gas grates
- Sturdy scraper that does not bend under pressure
- Wide head covers a lot of grate per stroke
- Holds up for multiple seasons
Common complaints
- Handle is shorter than some would like for keeping hands away from heat
- Coils can miss narrow grooves, so it is not ideal for deep cleaning cast iron
- Black residue sticks to the head and is hard to wash out
- One forum member found their unit flimsy and only effective at an angle, though they suspected a counterfeit
Based on Bob Vila's hands on comparison of five grill brushes, the GRILLART product page, and an AmazingRibs Pitmaster Club forum thread on bristle free scrapers.

What it does
A bristle free grill brush with coiled stainless steel heads and a built in scraper; the original order was logged as a 5-in-1 basting brush set, but its Amazon listing now points to this GRILLART brush, which is what this page covers.
- Coiled stainless steel heads instead of loose wire bristles, so there are no bristles to break off into food
- Wide scraper on the end for baked on char
- Maker lists it for gas, charcoal, smoker, porcelain and infrared grills, including Weber
- Three coil triple helix head that GRILLART says is stiffer than single coil designs
- Lifetime money back guarantee from the maker
A good pick for anyone who wants to stop using wire bristle brushes and clean gas, charcoal or porcelain grates in one tool. The trade-offs are a handle some find short for a hot grill, coils that miss tight grooves on cast iron, and a head that is hard to get fully clean.

Questions
Is the GRILLART grill brush safe?
It has no wire bristles. The cleaning head is made from continuous stainless steel coils, so there are no loose bristles to shed onto the grates.
Can you put the GRILLART brush in the dishwasher?
Bob Vila lists it as not dishwasher safe and found residue clings to the coils.
Does the GRILLART brush work on porcelain grates?
Yes. GRILLART lists porcelain grates, and Bob Vila used it on a porcelain gas grill grate.
Is this a 5-in-1 grill brush with a basting brush?
No. The Amazon listing this order came from now shows the GRILLART 18 inch bristle free brush and scraper, with no basting brush included.
