A good grill cleaning toolAug 12, 2009
Weber 6422 18-Inch Grill Brush and Scraper
Our 10-year old Weber 6422 brass grill brush wore out, so we replaced it with the same model. The current model has steel bristles. Weber probably switched to steel to reduce their manufacturing costs (brass cost more), instead of staying with brass and simply raising the price to cover their costs.
In any case, steel should last longer than brass bristles. Brass is better on softer materials that could scratch such as porcelain, but for stainless steel (or steel) grill racks, steel bristles are better since they are stronger and stiffer. The bristles are NOT stainless steel as asserted by other reviewers. Weber's web site doesn't even claim the bristles are stainless. The bristles are strongly attracted to magnets, which they wouldn't be if they were stainless.
The handle should be bent upward more, so you'd be less likely to bang your hand will brushing a grill rack that's still in the barbeque grill.
The 1/4" half-round scraper is the right size for Weber steel grill wires. The bristles are numerous and close together, so they are effective in cleaning the top third or so of the grill rack wires. Competing brushes with fewer bristles or with the bristle bundles further apart can slip down between the grill wires, so they don't work as well.
Not recommended for scratch-prone surfaces, but for the old-style BBQ grills, this tool works fine and it's a still a good value.

 Picture looks like brass, but the bristles are steelJul 01, 2009
I bought this brush because it looked like a brass brush in the picture and it was priced like a brass brush. Now I find on the official Weber site that this brush sells for $8. This item is a rip off. It says brush your enameled grill grates with this brush but that is a very bad idea.
Several of the previous reviews indicate this brush has brass bristles but the two they sent me have steel bristles. I have had two of these with brass bristles and thye were good brushes. But like a lot of other things these days they have cheapened the product but are selling the junk at high prices based on a previous product. They have left misleading reviews which discussed a previous product with brass bristles in place without comment. These sellers have the morals of Bernie Madoff although $26 won't make or break my retirement.
So it isn't what it appears to be and it's priced at 50% more than it ought to be. Avoid this item. If you want a steel brush get one for $8 at weber.

 Not as advertisedJun 23, 2009
This grill brush is advertised as having brass bristles, but it does not. They are steel and will rust. It's probably more trouble for me to return in than it's worth.

Now stainless bristles instead of brassJun 18, 2009
I cut it to 4 stars simply because it wasn't as I expected. Expected brass and not stainless bristles. It seems that last year Weber changed this to stainless bristles. I called Weber and they told me that but it took a long time on hold and even then they didn't seem too sure. Weber also recommended it not be used on porcelain grates as they didn't trust it. The product description should be changed and the photo to show silver (stainless) bristles. For those that need brass, look elsewhere.

 Great BrushMay 18, 2009
Excellent brush. Wood handle makes it strong enough to really push down and get the grill clean.
