Long-Handled BBQ Brush Long enough to keep your hand away from the fire. The handle on this brush runs the full length of the tool, about 17.7 inches, so you can lay marinade across the far side of a hot grill without leaning over the heat. It's a simple fix for a problem every short-handled basting brush has. The head is light, double-boiled pig bristle, held in a stainless steel ferrule and set into a stained beechwood body. Natural bristle carries sauce well and lays it down evenly rather than flicking it, and the double-boiling process cleans and sets the bristle so it holds its shape through repeated use. Made by Bürstenhaus Redecker in Germany. How To Use Hold near the end of the handle and brush marinade on with long, even strokes. Keep the bristle head off direct flame and away from resting on the hot grate. Rinse in warm water with mild soap immediately after use, before sauce dries in the bristle. Do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Dry bristle-side down so water runs out of the ferrule.

Details Length: 17.7 inches Bristle: light pig bristle, double boiled Ferrule: stainless steel Handle: stained beechwood Made by Bürstenhaus Redecker in Germany Care: hand wash in warm soapy water, do not soak, dry bristle-side down Why We Chose It We chose this brush because it comes from a German brushmaking tradition that still treats a basting brush as a real tool: natural bristle, a steel ferrule, a hardwood handle, and enough length to keep your hand out of the heat. Nothing about it is clever. It just works, and it will keep working for years.
