Product Description

All great grilling starts with a well lubricated grill grate. The Charcoal Companion & Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Grilling Grate Oiler Brush keeps a steady supply of oil at the ready while applying a wider swathe of lubrication than other brushes. Oiler features high temperature resistant plastic and silicone, as well as a heat shield to protect your hands during use. Oiler comes with a tray to catch any excess oil drops from the brush and provides a surface for priming the device.

Customers have mixed opinions about the oiling of the pastry brush. Some say that it does a good job oiling the grill, is very easy to put oil on the BBQ, and that it spreads oil on grill grating. However, others say that hardly any oil would come out and the silicone pad kept. They also say that the brush drops too much oil on to the grill and wastes oil.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed. It doesn't do what it was made to do.

I REALLY REALLY wanted this to work. I used it multiple times in the month after it arrived trying to do different things to get it to work as described and like the video online. Unfortunately, it just didn't work. It leaks where the bottle holder connects to the flat part and no matter how I tried, I could not get the oil to come through the holes in the silicone brush evenly or fluently. It does clean up easily in the dishwasher, but that doesn't matter because it doesn't do the job that it was made to do. If the design is ever improved to the point that it works like advertised, I would be interested.

1.0 out of 5 stars I thought this product looked pretty slick and would function well at my home

I never thought I would write a review but I have to with this product. I'm a Chef by trade and operate several multi million dollar operations. I was stoked to get an oiling product that would eliminate a gross oily rag to wipe down my grates. I thought this product looked pretty slick and would function well at my home. The first two times I tried to use it hardly any oil would come out and the silicone pad kept falling off. Then when I decided to return it, I was cleaning it and the spring mechanism that releases the oil popped out on the floor and it's supposed to be dishwasher safe. I didn't even put it in the dishwasher and it was falling apart. This thing sucks and shame on me thinking it was cool in theory. Two of the silicone bristles fell off in the two uses as well. Great idea, horrible product.

I am a big fan of Steven Raichlen and in full accord with the "keep the grill clean and oiled" commandment, but this was a complete rip-off. I just threw it away after 3 uses. In principle it seemed like a good idea, but it should really be re-labled: "People will pay money to buy something that replaces a folded up paper towel and paper cup of oil." It was drippy when not in use and I had to keep cleaning up oil from the storage compartment of my grill; and it didn't do any better at oiling the grates then the aforementioned paper towel. Very disappointing.
