Wouldn't it make more sense not to buy a grill scrubber in the first place? Sounds like a product in search of a problem.

Had loads of BBQs over the years and not once seen something stuck to the grill in such a way that it needs to be scrubbed off.

I've never used nor know of anybody that scrubs a grill.. must be some tradition across the pond.

I just toss the grill into the fire while adding more wood on top. Get it red hot, done.

Meanwhile the ladies have cleaned and seasoned the chicken.

Add a fridge full of Estrella Galicia, and it's a good evening.

Gross. Clean your grill, bro.

I personally use a wooden one.

Fire cleans all, the few bits that don't burn off don't require scrubbing, a gentle touch with absolutely anything would work. Like a stick.

Valid point IMO. Not buying something is the better choice very often!

Sure, why waste money on toilet paper?

People with a bidet already know.
