Grill Brush
The Grill Dozer from The Fulham Group is an innovative three-sided brush designed to clean and sanitize grills using a thumb-activated spray system that releases a fine mist of water. When the mist makes contact with a hot grill, it quickly turns to steam so as to penetrate the food and grime that cling to the cooking surface.
The main brush works for heavy-duty cleaning, or the brush can be turned sideways to get to those hard-to-reach areas between and under the grates.
The Grill Dozer, which measures 18 inches long, has a suggested retail price of $19.99.
