One thing's for sure, a dirty grill needs to be cleaned.  Use this plastic free brush to get all the cooked-on bits off of summer's most used cooking surface.  

This brush easily removes remains from your grill. The scraper rotates easily on the brush thanks to the wing nut connection, so that various diameters also do not represent a problem.

Made of untreated beechwood, brass wire bristles, stainless steel scraper. 

End of Life:  

Recycle metal scraper and brass bristles.  Compost beechwood handle.
