I ordered the brush and refill. The refill came first and was told the brush was on backorder. I waited several months only to be told the brush won't be shipped. Now I have a refill with no brush. How does Amazon manage this, obviously not well.
I ordered this brush along with refills in September. I waited and waited for the item until Amazon finally shipped the refills. Then a few weeks later they notified me that they were cancelling the brush because it was not available. Now I am stuck with the refills but no brush. Someone was not using their head at Amazon!!!!
I ordred this grill brush on October 2, 2006. I never received it upon email, after email from Amazon that it was back ordered. After Christmas I received an email stating my order could not be processed as there was no product to provide.
Having been an avid barbeque cook for more than a decade, I have used many barbeque brushes of varying design and this is by far the best in terms of utility, durability and aesthetics.
The primary advantage to this model is the angled brush head that is easily replaceable (replacement heads can be had for about $7 online). The angled head is critical, because it allows for much more efficient grill cleaning without scraped or singed knuckles.
Be warned that this brush is quite hefty, with a solid metal handle that appears to be very robust. The grip portion is comfortable, and the overall look is quite attractive.
If you are sick of cut-rate straight-handled wood or plastic BBQ brushes, you owe it to yourself to investigate this model. It is far and away the best of breed in this catagory, and doesn't cost a fortune.
