My grill laid dormant until this weekend, when the temperatures were finally warm enough to take off the cover and fire it up for the first time in 2009.  You can imagine my surprise when I realized that I had not exactly cleaned it as thoroughly as I thought when I put it out of commission for the winter.  Sure, I had a grill brush, but apparently didn’t put enough elbow grease in to the cleaning before I sent my propane baby into hibernation.

I did what any self-respecting grillmeister would do - surf the internet and try to find an easier way to clean. After all, you’ve got to work smarter, not harder!

Enter the ultimate grilling companion, the Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush, which has a bevy of really awesome features to make cleaning tough, charred-on foods and grease a breeze. You can tell the Grill Daddy means business when you pick it up - it weighs in at a hefty 2 pounds and is solidly constructed with stainless-steel bristles.

Perhaps one of the best features of the brush is the long handle, which really helps protect your hands from the heat.  Oh, and the price - at under $25, it’s a no-brainer.  You need this.
