Checkin’ Out a Weber® Style™ Grill Brush

As I was perusing the newly stocked shelves of the grilling department in my local home and hardware store, I came across a new grill brush by Weber. Now, I’m not sure when the model debuted, but it’s new to me so I found it deserving to delve a little deeper. Approximately $29.99 later and a short drive home, I found myself lighting up a fresh chimney of coals and busting out the Weber® 6448 Style™ Heavy-Duty Grill Brush from its packaging. This is why we call it an addiction.

Grillin’ Tongs

Along with the charcoal chimney starter, the tongs are a quintessential tool for your grilling tackle box. In fact, the tongs and chimney are probably the only tools you’ll use on a regular basis.

The Almighty Charcoal Chimney

If I had to pick one grillin’ tool to stand above all others, the charcoal chimney would reign king, yet I’m still surprised by how many people are a stranger to this simple invention. Perhaps it’s the popularity and ease of gas grills that’s started to detach modern grillers from the tricks of cooking over coal. Well, not this guy. I’ll take coal over propane any day. The flavor is arguable. The fun is not.
