Abstract
An improved grill brush for cleaning grill grates and a cleaning system including a grill grate specifically adapted for use with the disclosed grill brush. The grill brush includes a head portion and a handle portion. A plurality of metallic bristles are mounted to and extend from at least one surface of the head. The metallic bristles have first and second lengths selected and arranged in one embodiment so as to form parallel rows of bristles of different heights. In another embodiment, the contour of the bristles generally conforms to the contour of the grill grate with which the brush is intended to be used.
Claims18
A grill brush for cleaning generally parallel spaced grate bars of a grill, wherein said grate bars have a top surface, side surfaces and a length and form a grate surface contour along a cross-section in a plane orthogonal to said length, said grill brush comprising:
- a handle portion;
- a head portion extending from said handle portion, said head portion having a first surface;
- and
- a plurality of metallic bristles mounted to and extending from said first surface of said head portion, said plurality of bristles being of different lengths and providing a non-planar bristle surface contour configured to scrub both top and side surfaces of said spaced grate bars when said grill brush is urged into contact with said grate bars and moved back and forth in an intended direction of use at least partially along said length.
A grill cleaning system comprising:
- a grill grate having generally parallel spaced grate bars, wherein said grate bars have a top surface, side surfaces and a length and form a grate surface contour along a cross-section in a plane orthogonal to said length, said grate bars having centerlines spaced by a first distance;
- and
- a grill brush configured for use with said grill grate, said grill brush including a handle portion, a head portion extending from said handle portion, said head portion having a first surface, and a plurality of metallic bristles mounted to and extending from said first surface of said head portion, said plurality of bristles being of different lengths and providing a non-planar bristle surface contour configured to scrub both top and side surfaces of said spaced grated bars when said grill brush is urged into contact with said grate bars and moved back and forth in an intended direction of use at least partially along said length, wherein said bristle surface contour includes generally parallel recesses having recess centerlines spaced by said first distance.
