Old Wire Brushes
deestafford:
I was looking at my grill brush and I remembered an article I read awhile back about the dangers of the the small pieces of wire on grill brushes breaking off and getting on the meat or vegetables as they are grilled. The result being that they got lodged in peoples throats and they would have to go to the ER and get taken care of or have an operation.
The problem seems to be with old brushes as they begin to wear out the wire tends to dislodge and get on the grates and then the food. So, check your grill brushes and see if they need replacing.

Always had good luck with the Weber T brushes in terms of nothing coming off.

I use a pumice stone then wipe the grates down with a micro fiber cloth. Cleans well and no residue or wires.

I haven't used a pumice stone since my Old Fry Cook days...that brought back some memories. I am guilty of using my brushes a little too long than I should....I better swing by the Depot later......Thanks Dee for bringing this to our attention :)
