Tom, you should publicize this to customers who have switched or are
thinking of switching to cheap imported grill brushes. They can seriously harm customers. One emergency room saw six cases in 18 months http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0328142807.htm Makes you want to chew your burger very well before swallowing. |

George Plimpton fired this volley in
: I have brushed the grills of Weber kettle barbecues countless times, and have never once seen a fragment of wire adhere to the grill following brushing. A lot of this is the "Two Democrats on an Escalator" syndrome. If one brushes the grill, one would _ordinarily_ inspect the work -- maybe to find bristles, but at least to see if it was clean. Doing so would divulge if there were bristles left there. But, like the video mentioned above, once brushed, "There's nothing else we can do" if you're a typical "let the gov'mint take care of it" pap swiller. It's _always_ someone else's fault. LLoyd |

I think I might have used one of your grille brushes last week. That's where
I read the warning. Fortunately, the metal piece got Scooter, and he's not worth saving. All he does is preschool, and he's not even reading Dr. Seuss yet. Sad part, is that there are probably 100 attorneys reading this list, and think the sticker you put on, doesn't go far enough. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Anyone can take anything and hurt themselves. I've picked out dozens of pieces of wire from all over my body from the small $20 cup knot Makita brushes, and I'd call that a "decent" brush. Oh, did I mention that I have the presence of mind to use my face shield every time I use a high rpm brush? Others can and will do as they want. I don't wish blindness on anyone, even an asshole.

Tom, you apparently mean that $30+ retail is an already-decided price, and that it will be difficult to make a profit. Is the problem due to materials costs, or complicated assembly process, or tight pricing? (I realize that as manufacturer you only get a fraction of the retail price, but don't know if that fraction is close to 2/3 or closer to 1/3.) Regarding manufacturing, is assembly technically but not economically (at this point) feasible to automate? Or not feasible technically? -- jiw |

If there is any plastic used, it must not be much damaged by accidental contact with metal at 550 F. My other shop-made grill tool is a scraper with a blade custom made to fit (by shape and spacing) the grill bars on my Weber grill. I bought a Hyde paint scraper, the kind with a square steel blade screwed to the flat end of a steel rod handle for that handle, and made an aluminum scraper plate that has a tooth that is shaped to fit between adjacent bars, making full contact on the facing sides of adjacent bars. This is used to get big deposits off, right down the flanks of the bars. Only one of the four corners is cut into a tooth, as I have only one grill, but if produced for a wider market, each corner could be shaped for a specific common grill type. There are two problems with this scraper design. First is that it would be better if the tooth blade were at an angle to the handle axis, so the blade could be perpendicular to the grill bars without causing knuckles to touch hot metal. Second is that aluminum on steel makes for loud screeching noises. Steel on steel would be less obnoxious, I bet. Joe Gwinn |

Regarding manufacturing, is assembly technically but not economically (at this point) feasible to automate? Or not feasible technically? Material is expensive! Stainless steel, brass or bronze wire is three time what it cost a few years ago...and they were expensive then! The assembly costs are dependent on quantity and until volume justifies better methods, it'll cost more than it should. Yep, typically I get about a third to half of retail price so I have to make this for $10-15 including OH and profit. Pricing has to fit what the market is willing to pay. Typically, a cheepie grill brush for consumers sells for $5-10. |

I've seen them. The steel is too thin and springy and oddly angled, and it's on the back of a brush, making use a bit awkward. The other difference is that they try to fit over two or three adjacent bars, versus a single cleverly shaped tooth that fits between any pair of adjacent bars. Joe Gwinn |
