Know before you buy
You create the grooves by using the scraper on a hot grill. As you apply pressure, the wood chars and shapes itself to the exact spacing and diameter of your specific grate rods, ensuring a perfect fit for future cleanings.
Yes, the Great Scrape is safe for porcelain-coated, stainless steel, cast iron, and chrome-plated grates. Because it is made of wood, it will not scratch or damage delicate coatings like metal brushes can.
Wire brushes can lose bristles over time, which pose a serious safety risk if they accidentally end up in your food. This wooden scraper provides an effective, deep clean without the risk of leaving behind dangerous metal shards.
No, it is designed for durability. While the wood will naturally char and wear down over time as it forms its grooves, it is built to last for years of regular grilling.
Very little maintenance is required. Simply store it in a dry place away from the elements, and avoid soaking it in water to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
