sear Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 f7 #648 You're a big boy. You may do as you wish. I'm not wagging my finger at you. I'm merely giving you a friendly cyber heads-up. The pic in #648 shows a metal-bristled grill brush. A clean grill is a happy grill *. Whatever. BUT !! Bristle brushes shed bristles. And I've heard horror stories about people ingesting grill food, inadvertently ingesting a grill cleaning brush bristle, and suffering very serious medical consequence. Not only that. I visited a friend that explained this to me. And then he showed me his solution. He'd clean his grill with a bristle brush, and then carefully inspect the cleaned grill to find and remove every bristle. NO GOOD! So I bought him a metal grill cleaner that instead of short bristles has long strands of stainless steel ribbon. Lowe's sell 'em. They work fine. And they're probably much safer. Do as you like. This is just a heads up. But if you get a brass or steel bristle lodged in your intestine, and end up needing surgery to have it removed; and maybe go 4 months on a colostomy bag for a perforated colon, you might wish you'd heeded this warning. Metal bristle grill brushes are a SPECTACULARLY bad idea. Candidly, anything likely to happen to you from using an uncleaned grill would likely be less severe than medical complication from a grill brush bristle stuck somewhere in your digestive tract. * although I think I let my some of my grills go over a year without cleaning, and no harm resulted. That is NOT what this is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is NOT what this is about. The bristle brush is for cleaning inside the grill ...not the grate. There is a stainless grate brush also in the pic and that is for the grate ....thanks though Edited October 10, 2016 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dz246 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Ribs were good, they shrunk up quite a bit though. Wish I could find some nice thick short ribs. No luck so far though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck so far though. Ask a butcher to get you some plate ribs. Usually in cryovac before they're cut into short ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
