Anyone try the wooden grill grate scraper that costco sells

[clarissa]

Just got this at Home Depot.....$10. Figured it was a good idea since we did not see them in our local Costco.

Im completely surprised ..and pleasa tly surprised that this post has such interest...i though i was in the minority about bring cincerened about wire bristle brushes for cleaning cook grates when i first posted this thread.

...though this would be a low response thread.

After seeing 60 replies and over 2100 views...this is either a hot topic of concern or we just ha e a lot of fellow costco members here

Probably a combination of both factors...

I bought 1...and started this post about the wood grate bc i wanted feesback befire trying it...didnt want it to be a window dressing accessory.

Ill be breaking mine in on my next cook...hopefully tomorrow

Were you able to try it out? What is the verdict?

i will probably break the scraper in this weekend..

figured i would wait until i break in my new weber OEM ss cook grates...the grate size is .10mm smaller than the std grates.. .. probably wont make a difference but wanted to wait to start the grooves with the new ss grates.

thatll probably happen this weekend.. ill post back about the break in process. etc.. it may take several cooks to start developing full grooves into the scrape end.. we will see.

@Uncle Al  just broke in the scraper with new set if oem weber ss grates.

This baby is a keeper...i only did about 10-12 strokes and the very light grooves kept the scraper on track and did its job...after a few more cooks ill have decent grooves and im very pleased with the performance.

You would think that precook is a good break in...but i think its breaks in better post cook after the grates are thoroughly heated...i scraped my grates after removing the food and got a bit more griove breakin.

Im gona buy anotherone  for my 18.5" wsm grates

Who is keeping these outdoors hanging from their grill hooks...the wood is high grade enough to keep outside eithout worrying about splitting etc?

The upside to these grates is that cleaning them is extremely easy...the scrape mess build up on the top side of the scrape blade...so i just grab whatsevers closest with flat tip...spatula tong and slide it across the top and the scraper is clean....

Unlike wire brush which is fairly non cleanable

I bought one the other day at Costco. I tried it today for the first time. I really like it, it cleans the grate very well.

Check your Walmarts.  I picked up 2 of the Great Scrape scrapers on clearance for $7.00 each.

after reading this post , i knew i had a couple wooden spatulas that i never use , so why not i figured . they work great ! used a thin one to scrape the inside of the bowl and a wide one for the grill . don't know how long they will last but wasn't using them anyway .
